- 25 sieves such as crystalline silicates, aluminosilicates, crystalline silicoalumino phosphates, and crystalline aluminophosphates, to be used as molecular sieves in separation processes and catalysts and catalyst supports in a wide variety of hydrocarbon conversion processes.
- hydrocarbon conversion reactions such as paraffin isomerization, olefin skeletal or double bond isomerization, disproportionation, alkylation, and transalkylation of aromatics are governed by constraints imposed by the channel size of the molecular sieve.
- Reactant selectivity occurs when a fraction of the feedstock is too large to enter the pores to react; while product selectivity occurs when some of the products can not leave the channels or do not subsequently react.
- Product distributions can also be altered by transition state selectivity in which certain reactions can not occur because the reaction transition state is too large to form within the pores. Selectivity can also result from configuration constraints on diffusion where the dimensions of the molecule approach that of the pore system.
- Non-selective reactions on the surface of the molecular sieve such reactions on the surface acid sites of the molecular sieve, are generally not desirable as such reactions are not subject to the shape selective constraints imposed on those reactions occurring within the channels of the molecular sieve.
- Zeolites are crystalline microporous molecular sieves that are comprised of a lattice silica and optionally alumina combined with exchangeable cations such as alkali or alkaline earth metal ions.
- zeolites includes materials containing silica and optionally alumina, it is recognized that the silica and alumina portions may be replaced in whole or in part with other oxides.
- germanium oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, phosphorous oxide, and mixtures thereof can replace the silica portion.
- Boron oxide, iron oxide, gallium oxide, indium oxide, and mixtures thereof can replace the alumina portion.

- SAPO silicoaluminophosphates
- APO aluminophosphates
- aluminosilicate zeolite shall mean zeolite materials consisting essentially of silicon and aluminum atoms in the crystalline lattice structure thereof.
- the catalyst used in the process be tailored to maximize its performance in specific hydrocarbon conversion processes.
- the catalyst used in a hydrocarbon conversion process be a multifunctional catalyst, e.g., a trifunctional catalyst or a bifunctional catalyst.
- a bifunctional catalyst comprises two separate catalysts, e.g., two zeolites having different compositions or structure types, which induce separate reactions.
- the reaction products can be separate or the two catalysts can be used together such that the reaction product of one catalyst is transported to and reacts on a catalyst site of the second catalyst.
- the catalyst used in a hydrocarbon conversion process have the capability of preventing or at least reducing unwanted reactions which may take place on the surface of the zeolite catalyst by selectively sieving molecules in the feedstream based on their size or shape to prevent undesirable molecules present in the feedstream from entering the catalytic phase of the zeolite catalyst and reacting with the catalyst.
- the performance of a zeolite catalyst can sometimes be maximized if the catalyst selectively sieves desired molecules based on their size or shape in order to prevent the molecules from exiting the catalyst phase of the catalyst.
- 5,536,687 involves a hydrocracking process using a catalyst containing crystals of zeolite beta and zeolite Y that are bound by an amorphous binder material such as alumina.
- Zeolite crystals have good adsorptive properties, but their practical applications are severely limited because it is difficult to operate fixed beds with zeolite powder. Therefore, prior to using the crystals in commercial processes, mechanical strength is conventionally conferred on the zeolite crystals by forming a zeolite aggregate such as a pill, sphere, or extrudate.
- the extrudate can be formed by extruding the zeolite crystals in the presence of a non- zeolitic binder and drying and calcining the resulting extrudate.
- the binder materials used are resistant to the temperatures and other conditions, e.g., mechanical attrition, which occur in various hydrocarbon conversion processes.
- the zeolite be resistant to mechanical attrition, that is, the formation of fines which are small particles, e.g., particles having a size of less than 20 microns.
- suitable binders include amorphous materials such as alumina, silica, titania, and various types of clays.
- the bound zeolite aggregates have much better mechanical strength than the zeolite powder
- the performance of the catalyst e.g., activity, selectivity, activity maintenance, or combinations thereof, can be reduced because of the amorphous binder.
- the binder is typically present in amounts of up to about 60 wt.% of the bound catalyst, the amorphous binder dilutes the adsorptive properties of the zeolite aggregate.
- the amorphous binder can penetrate the pores of the zeolite or otherwise block access to the pores of the zeolite, or slow the rate of mass transfer to and from the pores of the zeolite which can reduce the effectiveness of the zeolite when used in hydrocarbon conversion processes and other applications.
- the amorphous binder may affect the chemical reactions that are taking place within the zeolite and also may itself catalyze undesirable reactions which can result in the formation of undesirable products. Therefore, it is desirable that zeolite catalysts used in hydrocarbon conversion not include deleterious amounts of such binders.
- the present invention provides a zeolite bound zeolite catalyst for use in hydrocarbon conversion processes which overcomes or at least mitigates the above described problems and can be tailored to optimize its performance.
- the present invention is directed to a zeolite bound zeolite catalyst that can be tailored to optimize its performance in hydrocarbon conversion.

- the binder crystals of the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst do not contain, in addition to the first crystals of the first zeolite, second crystals of said second zeolite, then the binder crystals will contain, in addition to the third crystals of the third zeolite, fourth crystals of fourth zeolite.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can contain both second crystals of a second zeolite and fourth crystals of a fourth zeolite.
- the structure type and/or composition of the zeolites are usually tailored to provide a zeolite bound zeolite catalyst having enhanced performance.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can be tailored to be multifunctional and/or can be tailored to prevent undesirable molecules from entering or exiting the catalytic phase of the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst.
- the present invention provides a process for the conversion of hydrocarbon feeds using the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst.
- processes include processes where catalyst acidity in combination with zeolite structure are important for reaction selectivity, e.g., catalytic cracking, alkylation, dealkylation, disproportionation, and transalkylation reactions.
- the process also finds particular application in hydrocarbon conversion processes in which carbon-containing compounds are changed to different carbon containing compounds. Examples of such processes include dehydrogenation, hydrocracking, isomerization, dewaxing, oligomerization, and reforming processes.
- Figure 2 represents an electron micrograph of the catalyst prepared in Example 2.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the rate of reaction of the zeolite bound zeolite and two catalysts not of the invention as a function of temperature- 1 .
- the core crystals of zeolite bound zeolite catalyst will contain first crystals a first zeolite and second crystals of a second zeolite having a composition, structure type, or both that is different from said first zeolite and the binder will comprise third crystals of a third zeolite.
- the composition and/or structure type of the first zeolite can be the same or can be different from the composition, structure type, or both of the third zeolite.
- the core crystals of the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst will contain first crystals a first zeolite and the binder will contain third crystals of a third zeolite and fourth crystals of a fourth zeolite having a composition, structure type, or both that is different from said third zeolite.
- the composition and/or structure type of the first zeolite can be the same or can be different from the composition, structure type, or both of the third zeolite.
- the presence of the second zeolite, fourth zeolite, or both in the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can afford a number of advantages. For instance, the presence of the zeolite can maximize the catalyst's performance for specific hydrocarbon conversion processes.
- the core crystals of the zeolite bound zeolite can contain two zeolites having different structures, e.g., the first zeolite can have a large pore or intermediate pore size and the second zeolite can have a smaller pore size than the first zeolite (intermediate or small pore when the first zeolite has a large pore and small pore when the first zeolite is an intermediate pore) with resultant production of enhanced amounts of desired product.
- the zeolite bound zeolite can have four zeolites with each having a different composition, structure type or both.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can further contain, in addition to first, second, third, and fourth zeolites additional zeolites having different compositions, structure types, or both and these zeolites can be present in the core crystals, binder crystals, or both
- the zeolite binder crystals can provide a means for controlling undesirable reactions taking place on or near the external surface of the core crystals and/or can affect the mass transfer of hydrocarbon molecules to and from the pores of the core crystals.
- the binder crystals if desired, can have catalytic activity, can function as a catalyst carrier, and/or can selectively prevent undesirable molecules from entering or exiting the pores of the first and second zeolite.
- the invention is not intended to be limited to any theory of operation, it is believed that one of the advantages of the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst of the present invention is obtained by the zeolite binder crystals controlling the accessibility of the acid sites on the external surfaces of the core crystals to reactants. Since the acid sites existing on the external surface of a zeolite catalyst are not shape selective, these acid sites can adversely affect reactants entering the pores of the zeolite and products exiting the pores of the zeolite.
- the binder since the acidity and structure type of the binder can be carefully selected, the binder does not significantly adversely affect the reactants exiting the zeolite pores of the core crystals which can occur with conventionally bound zeolite catalysts and may beneficially affect the reactants exiting the pores of the zeolite. Still further, since the zeolite binder is not amorphous but, instead, is a molecular sieve, hydrocarbons may have increased access to the pores of the core crystals during hydrocarbon conversion processes. Regardless of the theories proposed, the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst, when used in catalytic processes, has one or more of the improved properties which are disclosed herein.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst of the present invention generally does not contain significant amounts of non-zeolitic binders.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst contains less than 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of the catalyst, more preferably contains less than 5 percent by weight, and, most preferably, the catalyst is substantially free of non-zeolitic binder.
- the binder crystals bind the core crystals by adhering to the surface of the core crystals thereby forming a matrix or bridge structure which also holds the core crystals together.
- the terms "acidity”, “lower acidity”, “moderate acidity”, and “higher acidity” as applied to zeolite are known to persons skilled in the art.
- Acid sites of a zeolite can be a Bronsted acid or a Lewis acid.
- the density of the acid sites and the number of acid sites are important in determining the acidity of the zeolite.
- Factors directly influencing the acid strength are (i) the chemical composition of the zeolite framework, i.e., relative concentration and type of tetrahedral atoms, (ii) the concentration of the extra-framework cations and the resulting extra-framework species, (iii) the local structure of the zeolite, e.g., the pore size and the location, within the crystal or at/near the surface of the zeolite, and (iv) the pretreatment conditions and presence of co-adsorbed molecules.
- the amount of acidity is related to the degree of isomorphous substitution provided, however, such acidity is limited to the loss of acid sites for a pure Si ⁇ 2 composition.
- the terms "acidity”, “lower acidity” and “higher acidity” refers to the concentration of acid sites irregardless of the strength of such acid sites which can be measured by ammonia absorption.

Examples of these zeolites include large pore zeolites, intermediate size pore zeolites, and small pore zeolites. These zeolites are described in "Atlas of Zeolite Structure Types", eds. W. H.

- n is preferably greater than 20.
- the acidity of a zeolite can be reduced using many techniques such as by dealumination and steaming.
- the acidity of a zeolite is dependent upon the form of the zeolite with the hydrogen form having the highest acidity and other forms of the zeolite such as the sodium form having less acidity than the acid form.
- the mole ratios of silica to alumina and silica to gallia disclosed herein shall include not only zeolites having the disclosed mole ratios, but shall also include zeolites not having the disclosed mole ratios but having equivalent catalytic activity.
- the zeolite preferably comprises a composition having the following molar relationship:
- the zeolite framework may contain only gallium and silicon atoms or may also contain a combination of gallium, aluminum, and silicon.
- the zeolite in the binder will preferably be an intermediate pore size zeolite having a silica to gallia mole ratio greater than 100.
- the zeolite in the binder can also have higher silica to gallia mole ratios, e.g., greater than 200, 500, 1000, etc.
- the silica to alumina mole ratio will usually depend upon the structure type of the zeolite and the particular hydrocarbon process in which the catalyst system is utilized and is therefore not limited to any particular ratio. Generally, however, and depending on the structure type of the zeolite, the zeolite will have a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 2:1 and in some instances from 4:1 to about 7:1. For a number of zeolites, especially intermediate pore size zeolites, the silica to alumina mole ratio will be in the range of from about 10:1 to about 1,000:1.
- At least one zeolite will be acidic and will preferably, when it is an intermediate pore size zeolite, have higher silica to alumina mole ratios, e.g., 20:1 to about 200:1. If the catalyst is utilized in a process where acid catalyzed reactions may not desired, such as the reforming of naphtha, the first zeolite and, if present, second zeolite will preferably exhibit reduced acid activity.
- the composition and structure type of the first zeolite and second zeolite will depend on the particular hydrocarbon process in which the zeolite catalyst is utilized.

If the catalyst is be used for xylene isomerization or the manufacture of paraxylene and benzene by the disproportionation of toluene, the first zeolite and second zeolite (optionally present) will preferably have an intermediate pore size zeolite. If the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst is to be used for cracking paraffins, the preferred pore size and structure type will depend on the size of the molecules to be cracked and the desired product.
- LTL example Zeolite L
- silica to alumina ratio from 4:1 to about 7:1.
- average particle size means the arithmetic average of the diameter distribution of the crystals on a volume basis.
- the average particle size of the core crystals will vary and will usually be from about 0.1 to about 15 microns. In some applications, the average particle size will preferably be at least about 1 to about 6 microns.

- the amount of second crystals present can vary and can even be in small amounts, e.g., less than 5 % by weight based on the weight of the first crystals and second crystals.
- the composition and structure type of the third zeolite and, if present, fourth zeolite will depend on the intended use of the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst. For instance, if the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst contains first zeolite and second zeolite core crystals and third zeolite binder crystals and is utilized as a xylenes isomerization/ethylbenzene dealkylation catalyst, then the first zeolite can be selected such that the dealkylation of the ethylbenzene can occur at the catalytic phase of the first zeolite, and the xylene isomerization can primarily occur at the catalytic phase of the second zeolite and the binder zeolite can be selected to reduce surface acidity of the first zeolite and second zeolite.
- the zeolites can have acid activity and the structure type of each zeolite can be selected such that its pore size allows into its channels the larger molecules where they are subject to cracking into small products. After the larger molecules are cracked, the cracked molecules can then enter pores of smaller pore size zeolite where they can be subject to further cracking, isomerization, or oligomerization depending on the desired resulting product.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can also be tailored so that the zeolite of the binder crystals will sieve feed components entering the pores of the zeolite core crystals or sieve product components exiting the channels of the zeolite core crystals.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst comprises an appropriate pore size binder zeolite, e.g., third and optionally fourth zeolite, it can function to sieve and sort out molecules based on their size or shape and thereby prevent undesirable molecules from entering or exiting, as the case may be, the catalytic phase of the zeolite core crystals.
- an appropriate pore size binder zeolite e.g., third and optionally fourth zeolite
- the silica to alumina mole ratio will usually depend upon the structure type of the zeolite and particular hydrocarbon process in which the catalyst is utilized and is therefore not limited to any particular ratio. Generally, however, and depending on the structure type of the zeolite, the silica to alumina ratio will be at least 2:1. In applications where the aluminosilicate zeolite is an intermediate pore size zeolite and low acidity is desired, the binder zeolite preferably has a silica to alumina mole ratio greater than the silica to alumina mole ratio of the first zeolite, and more preferably is greater than 200:1.
- the binder zeolite can also have higher silica to alumina mole ratios, e.g., 300:1, 500:1, 1,000:1, etc.
- the binder zeolite can be a Silicalite i.e., the zeolite is a MFI structure type substantially free of alumina and/or Silicalite 2, i.e., the zeolite is a MEL structure type substantially free of alumina and mixtures thereof.
- the pore size of the binder zeolite will preferably be a pore size that does not adversely restrict access of the desired molecules of the hydrocarbon feedstream to the catalytic phase of the zeolite bound zeolite.
- the binder zeolite when the materials of the feedstream which are to be converted by the zeolite core crystals have a size from 5A to 6.8A, the binder zeolite will preferably be a large pore zeolite or an intermediate pore size zeolite.
- the binder crystals are usually present in the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst in an amount in the range of from about 10 to about 60% by weight based on the weight of the catalyst but the amount of binder crystals present will usually depend on the hydrocarbon process in which the catalyst is utilized. More preferably the amount of binder crystals present is from about 20 to about 50% by weight.
- the binder crystals comprise third crystals of a third zeolite and fourth crystals of a fourth zeolite
- the average particle size of third crystals can be smaller or larger than the average particle size of the fourth crystals.
- the amount of fourth crystals present can vary and can be in small amounts, e.g., less than 20 % by weight based on the weight of the third crystals and fourth crystals.
- the binder crystals usually have a smaller size than the core crystals.
- the binder crystals preferably have an average particle size of less than 1 micron, preferably from about 0.1 to less than 0.5 micron.
- the binder crystals in addition to binding the core crystals and maximizing the performance of the catalyst will preferably intergrow and to form an over-growth or partial over-growth over the first zeolite. If the second zeolite is present, the binder crystals can also overgrow this zeolite.
- binder crystals comprise crystals of two zeolites having different compositions, structure types, or both, the average particle size of each can be the same or different, i.e., larger or smaller. Sometimes, the coating will be resistant to attrition.
- the amount of second zeolite and/or fourth zeolite present in the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst will generally depend on the particular process in which the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst and usually be an amount in the range of from about 1.0 to about 70 % by weight based on the weight of the catalyst.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst can be prepared using a three step procedure.
- the first step involves the synthesis of the zeolite core crystals. Processes for preparing these zeolites are known to persons skilled in the art.
- MFI structure type zeolites can be prepared using the process described in PCT Publication WO 98/16469 which is hereby incorporated by reference. If the core crystals contain first zeolite crystals and second zeolite crystals, the zeolites can be made individually or the zeolites can be made by converting a synthesis mixture under conditions which favor the formation of two separate zeolites. For example, MFI and MEL structure type zeolites can be made in the same zeolite synthesis mixture.
- a silica-bound zeolite is prepared preferably by mixing a mixture comprising the core crystals, a silica gel or sol, water and optionally an extrusion aid until a homogeneous composition in the form of an extrudable paste develops.
- the silica binder used in preparing the silica bound zeolite aggregate is preferably a silica sol and can contain various amounts of trivalent metal oxides such as alumina.
- the amount of zeolite in the dried extrudate at this stage will preferably range from about 40 to 90% by weight, more preferably from about 50 to 80% by weight, with the balance being primarily silica, e.g. about 20 to 50% by weight silica.
- the resulting paste is then molded, e.g. extruded, and cut into small strands, e.g., 2 mm diameter extrudates, which are dried at 100- 150°C for a period of 4-12 hours and then calcined in air at a temperature of from about 400°C to 550°C for a period of from about 1 to 10 hours.
- the silica-bound aggregate can be made into a very small particles which have application in fluid bed processes such as catalytic cracking.
- This preferably involves mixing the core crystal zeolite with a silica containing matrix solution so that an aqueous solution of the zeolite and silica binder is formed which can be sprayed dried to result in small fluidizable silica-bound aggregate particles.
- Procedures for preparing such aggregate particles are known to persons skilled in the art. An example of such a procedure is described by Scherzer (Octane-Enhancing Zeolitic FCC Catalysts, Julius Scherzer, Marcel Dekker, Inc. New York, 1990).
- the fluidizable silica- bound aggregate particles like the silica bound extrudates described above, would then undergo the final step described below to convert the silica binder to a second zeolite.
- the final step in the three step catalyst preparation process is the conversion of the silica present in the silica-bound zeolite to the binder zeolite.
- the binder crystals bind the core crystals together.
- the zeolite core crystals are thus held together without the use of a significant amount of non-zeolite binder.
- the silica-bound aggregate is preferably first aged in an appropriate aqueous solution at elevated temperature. Next, the contents of the solution and the temperature at which the aggregate is aged are selected to convert the amorphous silica binder into one or more zeolites.
- the newly-formed zeolite which can comprise more than one zeolite, is produced as crystals. The crystals may grow on and or adhere to the core crystals, and may also be produced in the form of new intergrown crystals, which are generally much smaller than the initial crystals, e.g., of sub-micron size. These newly formed crystals may grow together and interconnect.
- the nature of the zeolite formed in the secondary synthesis conversion of the silica to zeolite may vary as a function of the composition of the secondary synthesis solution and synthesis aging conditions.
- the secondary synthesis solution is preferably an aqueous ionic solution containing a source of hydroxy ions sufficient to convert the silica to the desired zeolite, which can be two or more separate zeolites. It is important, however, that the aging solution be of a composition which will not cause the silica present in the bound zeolite extrudate to dissolve out of the extrudate. Sometimes it may be desirable to have part of the zeolite crystals dissolved to form one or more zeolites having a different composition, structure type or both. Other times it may not be desirable to dissolve the zeolite crystals.
- the zeolites present in the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst may be further ion exchanged as is known in the art either to replace at least in part the original metals present in the zeolite with a different cation, e.g. a Group IB to VIII of the Periodic Table metal such as nickel, copper, zinc, calcium or rare earth metal, or to provide a more acidic form of the zeolite by exchange of alkali metal with intermediate ammonium, followed by calcination of the ammonium form to provide the acidic hydrogen form.
- the acidic form may be readily prepared by ion exchange using a suitable acidic reagent such as ammonium nitrate.
- the zeolites may then be calcined at a temperature of 400- 550°C for a period of 10-45 hours to remove ammonia and form the acidic hydrogen form.
- Particularly preferred cations are those that make the catalyst catalytically active, especially for hydrocarbon conversion processes. These include hydrogen, rare earth metals, and metals of Groups HA, IIIA, IVA, IB, IIB, IIIB, TVB, and VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
- Preferred metals include Group VIII metals (i.e., Pt.
- Group IVA metals i.e., Sn and Pb
- Group VB metals i.e., Sb and Bi
- Group VIIB metals i.e., Mn, Tc, and Re.
- Noble metals i.e., Pt, Pd, Ir, Rh, Os, and Ru are sometimes more preferred.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst of the present invention can be used in processing hydrocarbon feedstocks.
- Hydrocarbon feed-stocks contain carbon compounds and can be from many different sources, such as virgin petroleum fractions, recycle petroleum fractions, tar sand oil, and, in general, can be any carbon containing fluid susceptible to zeolitic catalytic reactions.
- the feed can contain metal or can be free of metals.
- the feed can also have high or low nitrogen or sulfur impurities.
- the conversion of hydrocarbon feeds can take place in any convenient mode, for example, in fluidized bed, moving bed, or fixed bed reactors depending on the types of process desired.
- the zeolite bound zeolite catalyst of the present invention by itself or in combination with one or more catalytically active substances can be used as a catalyst or support for a variety of organic, e.g., hydrocarbon compound conversion processes.
- organic, e.g., hydrocarbon compound conversion processes include, as non-limiting examples, the following:
