Abstract:
1. A method of making an alkylation catalyst comprising: providing nanosize zeolite particles; incorporating one or more catalytically active promoters into the nanosize zeolite particles, wherein the one or more catalytically active promoters are selected from the group consisting of Cs, Ga, B, Na, and combinations thereof; contacting and dispersing the nanosize zeolite particles with a solution to create a dispersion solution comprising dispersed nanosize zeolite particles; adding a nano-sized carrier to the dispersion solution prior to contacting the dispersion solution with a support material, wherein the nano-sized carrier comprises a silica oxide material or an aluminum-containing material; contacting the support material with the dispersion solution to create a wetted support and to thereby incorporate the nanosize zeolite particles into the support material; and drying the wetted support to obtain a catalyst.
