USE OF CATIONIC LAYERED MATERIALS, COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THESE MATERIALS, AND THE PREPARATION OF CATIONIC LAYERED MATERIALS

摘要

Use of cationic layered materials in hydrocarbon conversion, purification, and synthesis processes, such as fluid catalytic cracking. Cationic layered materials are especially suitable for the reduction of Sox and Nox emissions and the reduction of the sulfur and nitrogen content in fuels like gasoline and diesel. A new process is provided for the preparation of cationic layered materials, which process avoids the use of metal salts and does not require the formation of anionic clay as intermediate.
