Abstract: A catalyst composition comprising metal phosphate binder and zeolite can be used to enhance olefin yields during hydrocarbon cracking processes. The composition typically further comprises aluminum phosphate, and the metal of the metal phosphate is a metal other than aluminum. Depending on the metal chosen, enhanced propylene and isobutylene yields in fluid catalytic crackin g processes can be obtained compared to catalysts that do not contain such met al phosphate binders. The catalyst can also comprise non-zeolitic molecular sieves, thereby making the composition suitable for use in areas outside of catalytic cracking, e.g., purification and adsorbent applications.

Title: Method for producing amino- or hydroxybenzonitriles
Inventor: MOELLER ROLAN
IPC: C07C253/22
Filed: 2005-11-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing amino- or hydroxybenzonitriles during which, within the scope of an ammonolysis, the corresponding amino- or hydroxybenzoic acid compounds are reacted with ammonia in the presence of a phosphate-containing supported catalyst at temperatures between 250 ~C and 500 ~C. The actual production step is carried out in a reaction gas (mixture) and without the involvement of an organic solvent and is followed by an at least 2-stage purification step. Firstly, the gaseous mixture obtained from the production step is converted into an aqueous basic suspension, and the product contained in the solid matter is subsequently released from this suspension.  The main advantage of this combined method is that it does not start by using esters which is why the obtained products, in contrast to conventional methods, are free of the otherwise usual by-products whereby leading to a high product purity. In addition, the claimed method can be carried out in the utmost economical manner since the final product and the by-products in the used suspension exist in different states of aggregation and, therefore, can be easily separated from one another. This makes it possible to obtain solvent-free benzonitriles, which contain amino or hydroxy groups, with a high yield and with a distinctly improved product quality.
