Abstract
Salt modified aluminoborates and processes of producing them are described. The salt modified aluminoborate has a weight ratio of Al:B in the range of 5 to 8. It has an XRD diffraction pattern different from the XRD pattern of known aluminoborates. It can be produced using temperatures in the range of 50° C. to 100° C. and a solid:liquid ratio of 1:20 to 1:100 will produce a salt modified aluminoborate with the properties described below. Calcining the salt modified aluminoborate produces different XRD diffraction patterns depending on the temperature used for the calcining.

A catalyst composition comprising:
- a salt modified aluminoborate having a weight ratio of Al:B in a range of 5 to 8.
A process for making a catalyst composition:
- providing aluminoborate;
- combining the aluminoborate with a salt in water to form a mixture, wherein a weight ratio of solid:liquid in the mixture is in a range of 1:20 to 1:100;
- and
- heating the mixture at a temperature in a range of 50° C. to 100° C. to form a salt modified aluminoborate catalyst composition having a weight ratio of Al:B in a range of 5 to 8.
