Catalyst particles with modified usy zeolite and active metals
The patent US12036537B2 describes a novel composition of calcined catalyst particles that utilize a post-framework modified ultra-stable Y-type (USY) zeolite. In this composition, a portion of the aluminum atoms in the zeolite framework is substituted with zirconium, titanium, and/or hafnium atoms. The modified zeolite features outer surfaces and pores that are metal-loaded with one or more hydrogenative active metal components before the formation of the calcined catalyst particles. The composite material, which includes an inorganic oxide binder, is extruded and thermally treated to produce the final catalyst particles. The claims detail specific ranges for the substitution of metal atoms, surface area characteristics, and the types and amounts of hydrogenative active metals used.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for producing these calcined catalyst particles. This method involves providing the modified USY zeolite, impregnating it with hydrogenative active metal components, and mixing it with an inorganic oxide binder to create a composite. The composite is then extruded and thermally treated to yield the catalyst particles. The claims specify various parameters, including the state of the zeolite (wet, dried, or calcined), the volume of the liquid solution used for impregnation, and the types of inorganic oxide materials that can be utilized. The active metal components can include platinum, palladium, rhenium, and other metals, with specified weight percentages relative to the total mass of the catalyst particles. This innovative approach aims to enhance the performance and efficiency of catalyst materials in various applications.
