Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a method for decreasing catalyst coking and extending the usable catalyst life by pre-treatment of the catalyst with steam and/or a phosphorus-containing compound. Catalysts benefiting from such pre-treatment comprise crystalline zeolites characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index, as herein defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A process for carrying out hydrocarbon disproportionation conversion reactions over a catalyst comprising a crystalline zeolite characterized by a silica to alumina molar ratio of at least 12 and a Constraint Index of from about 1 to 12, the improvement which comprises: pretreating said catalyst to reduce the rate of catalyst aging and detrimental formation of coke thereon which occurs during said conversion reactions, by reacting said catalyst with a phosphorus-containing compound to deposit between about 2% and 15% by weight of phosphorus on said catalyst and by subjecting said catalyst to an atmosphere comprising from about 5% to 100% of steam at a temperature from about 250° C., to about 1000° C., for a period of from about 15 minutes to about 100 hours.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A process for carrying out hydrocarbon disproportionation conversion reactions over a catalyst comprising a crystalline zeolite characterized by a silica to alumina molar ratio of at least 12 and a Constraint Index of from about 1 to 12, the improvement which comprises: pretreating said catalyst to reduce the rate of catalyst aging and detrimental formation of coke thereon which occurs during said conversion reactions, by reacting said catalyst with a phosphorus-containing compound to deposit between about 2% and 15% by weight of phosphorus on said catalyst and by subjecting said catalyst to an atmosphere comprising from about 5% to 100% of steam at a temperature from about 250° C., to about 1000° C., for a period of from about 15 minutes to about 100 hours.
