Abstract
Abstract A dense, highly attrition resistant catalyst is prepared by reacting an alkali-metal silicate and aluminate under conditions which produce a thermally and hydrothermally stable cogel having a substantial surface area in pores ranging from about 25 to 75A DEG . The catalyst includes excess silicate obtained as a by-product from a Type Y zeolite synthesis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A process for preparing a silica-alumina hydrogel catalyst which comprises: (a) preparing a silica-alumina cogel by reacting sodium silicate, aluminum sulfate and water to obtain a cogel slurry having a pH of about 9.0 to 9.6; (b) reacting said cogel slurry of step (a) with sodium aluminate to obtain a silica-alumina gel slurry having a pH of about 11.8 to 12.3; (c) reacting the gel slurry of step (b) with aluminum sulfate to produce an acid gel slurry having a pH of about 3.5 to 3.9; (d) reacting the acid gel slurry of step (c) with a sodium silicate containing mother liquor obtained from synthesis of sodium Y zeolite to obtain silica-alumina hydrogel catalyst slurry having a pH of about 3.8 to 4.5; and (e) recovering the catalyst obtained in step (d).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A process for preparing a silica-alumina hydrogel catalyst which comprises: (a) preparing a silica-alumina cogel by reacting sodium silicate, aluminum sulfate and water to obtain a cogel slurry having a pH of about 9.0 to 9.6; (b) reacting said cogel slurry of step (a) with sodium aluminate to obtain a silica-alumina gel slurry having a pH of about 11.8 to 12.3; (c) reacting the gel slurry of step (b) with aluminum sulfate to produce an acid gel slurry having a pH of about 3.5 to 3.9; (d) reacting the acid gel slurry of step (c) with a sodium silicate containing mother liquor obtained from synthesis of sodium Y zeolite to obtain silica-alumina hydrogel catalyst slurry having a pH of about 3.8 to 4.5; and (e) recovering the catalyst obtained in step (d).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
