Abstract

Abstract A method for preparing hydroisomerization zeolite catalysts containing a highly dispersed noble metal is described. The method includes mix mulling the zeolite, noble metal and binder into an extrudate and chemically treating the formed particles in order to achieve a high dispersion of noble metal on the catalyst.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim 107 words
A method for preparing a highly dispersed noble metal-containing hydroisomerization catalyst comprising a zeolite having a Constraint Index less than 2 and a binder, said method comprising: (a) incorporating at least one noble metal in anionic or cationic form with said zeolite and binder by physical intimate mixing; (b) calcining the product of step (a) in air containing from 0.5 to 1.0 atm H 2 O at a temperature ranging from about 450° to 540° C.; and (c) contacting the product of step (b) with a stream of inert gas containing about 0.001 to 10 wt % chlorine at temperatures ranging from about 250° to 550° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 107 words
A method for preparing a highly dispersed noble metal-containing hydroisomerization catalyst comprising a zeolite having a Constraint Index less than 2 and a binder, said method comprising: (a) incorporating at least one noble metal in anionic or cationic form with said zeolite and binder by physical intimate mixing; (b) calcining the product of step (a) in air containing from 0.5 to 1.0 atm H 2 O at a temperature ranging from about 450° to 540° C.; and (c) contacting the product of step (b) with a stream of inert gas containing about 0.001 to 10 wt % chlorine at temperatures ranging from about 250° to 550° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one noble metal is selected from any of Groups IB, IVB, VIIA or VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements.
