Abstract
Abstract Waxy distillate lubricating oil stocks suitable for the preparation, by conventional unit processes, of high V.I., low pour point lubricating oils, are advantageously catalytically dewaxed with macrocrystalline ZSM-5 (crystallites larger than 2 microns) preferably associated with a hydrogenation metal such as platinum or palladium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
In a process for manufacturing a refined lubricating oil stock having a V.I. of at least 85 and a pour point not greater than +20° F. from a waxy stock boiling within the range of from about 450° to about 1050° F., said process comprising catalytically dewaxing said waxy stock to a pour point not greater than +20° F., the improvement whereby effecting said dewaxing with increased selectivity, which comprises: contacting said waxy stock with a catalyst comprising macrocrystalline ZSM-5 at a LHSV of from 0.1 to 5.0, a temperature from about 500 to about 750° F., and under a total pressure greater than about 100 psia; and recovering a dewaxed oil stock with a pour point not greater than +20° F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
In a process for manufacturing a refined lubricating oil stock having a V.I. of at least 85 and a pour point not greater than +20° F. from a waxy stock boiling within the range of from about 450° to about 1050° F., said process comprising catalytically dewaxing said waxy stock to a pour point not greater than +20° F., the improvement whereby effecting said dewaxing with increased selectivity, which comprises: contacting said waxy stock with a catalyst comprising macrocrystalline ZSM-5 at a LHSV of from 0.1 to 5.0, a temperature from about 500 to about 750° F., and under a total pressure greater than about 100 psia; and recovering a dewaxed oil stock with a pour point not greater than +20° F.
