Assignee:

ExxonMobil Oil Corporation - Fairfax VA

International Classification:

C07C 268

US Classification:

585467

Abstract:

A process for alkylating aromatics comprises: i) contacting a feed containing alkylatable aromatic, e. g. , benzene, under liquid phase alkylating conditions with an alkylating agent, e. g. , ethylene, in the presence of an alkylation catalyst comprising a porous crystalline material, e. g. , MCM-22, to provide an alkylated aromatic product during which contacting said catalyst becomes at least partially deactivated by sorbing catalyst poisons present in said feed; ii) treating said at least partially deactivated catalyst in situ by contacting with at least one polar compound, e. g. , water or acetic acid, having a dipole moment of at least 0. 05 Debyes under conditions of temperature and pressure employed in said liquid phase alkylating conditions which are sufficient to at least partially desorb said catalyst poison from said catalyst; and iii) collecting said alkylated aromatic product.

International Classification:

C07C002/68

US Classification:

585467

Abstract:

The catalyst becomes at least partially deactivated by sorbing catalyst poisons present in the feed during a process for alkylating aromatics by contacting a feed containing benzene, toluene, xylenes, alkylbenzenes, naphthalene or substituted naphthalenes under liquid phase alkylating conditions with C-Colefins in the presence of MCM-22, MCM-36, MCM-49, MCM-56, ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-23, ZSM-35, ZSM-48, ZSM-50, ZSM-4, ZSM-18, ZSM-20, Zeolite X, Zeolite Y, USY, mordenite or offretite to provide an alkylated aromatic product. The at least partially deactivated catalyst can be treated in situ by contacting with at least one polar compound having a dipole moment of at least 0. 05 Debyes and selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, formic acid, water, and carbon monoxide, under conditions of temperature and pressure employed in the liquid phase alkylating conditions which are sufficient to at least partially desorb the catalyst poison from the catalyst.

International Classification:

C01B 2120

US Classification:

4232392

Abstract:

An exhaust gas treatment process useful for the removal of nitrogen oxides using an iron containing zeolite as the catalyst and ammonia as a reducing agent. It is desired to extend the effective temperature range for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides below about 400. degree. C. This is accomplished in the instant invention through the use of an intermediate pore size zeolite, such as ZSM-5, based catalyst which has been treated to incorporate iron into its pores.
