CATALYSTS FOR THERMO CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF BIOMASS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING

摘要

Disclosed are catalyst compositions including zeolite and silica components methods of making and processes of using in the thermo catalytic conversion of biomass. Such disclosed methods of making include: i) spray drying of the catalyst precursor slurry at a pH below 1 or ii) the removal of ions such as sodium from the binder material prior to spray drying the catalyst precursor slurry at a pH below 2.7 or iii) spray drying the catalyst precursor including a pore regulating agent followed by steam treating or iv) some combination of i) ii) and iii).
