Abstract:

A labeling head includes a printing unit and an applicator foot assembly for printing and applying labels onto a layup of material. The printing unit is integral to the labeling head and prints each label prior to applying the label to the layup. The applicator foot assembly transfers the printed label onto the layup. The labeling head of the present invention can be used either with a cutter, a spreader or as a standalone unit. The labeling head of the present invention prints and prepares labels while the cutter head cuts the part. Once the part is cut, the labeling head applies the prepared label onto the cut part. The labeling head also includes a layup height sensor allowing the labels to be applied to layup having varying heights.

International Classification:

B01J 29/06

US Classification:

502 60, 502 64, 502 85

Abstract:

The present invention describes a method to increase the activity of a catalyst by first performing an ion exchange step with a potassium ion, followed by performing an ion-exchange step with an ammonium ion. Specifically, the present invention describes a method to increase the acidity of a zeolite by incorporating a potassium salt ion-exchange prior to an ammonium salt ion-exchange step. Even more specifically, the present invention is drawn to a method of increasing the activity of a zeolite by employing more than one potassium ion exchanges followed by at least one ammonium ion exchange. The present invention also describes a method to reduce the amount of sodium normally found in commercially produced zeolite by employing any of these methods. The present invention is also drawn to the catalysts produced by any of these methods.

US Classification:

502185, 502221, 502313

Abstract:

Bulk catalysts that include a Group VI metal, a Group VIII metal, and at least 10-60% of an organic compound based component are formed. The bulk catalysts have increased stability through the use of a stabilizer in the organic compound based component, the use of an improved gas phase sulfidation, or a combination thereof. The bulk catalysts are suitable for hydroprocessing of hydrocarbon feeds.

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to a novel method of making and recovering M41S family molecular sieve materials using synthesis mixtures having high solids-content and without a purification step. The solids-content, for example, is in a range from about 20 wt. % to 50 wt. %. The method also includes the step of mixing at least a portion of the M41S made with another material to form a composition, wherein the amount of said material to be mixed with said M41S product is such that said composition having less than 10 wt. % free fluid. The material mixed with the M41S made includes metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides and mixtures thereof, as well as absorptive material capable of absorbing mother liquor and selected from the group consisting of carbon silica, alumina, titania, zirconia and mixtures thereof. The amount of the wastewater generated by this novel method is reduced by at least 50% to as much as 100% as comparing with conventional method of making M41S materials. By reducing and/or eliminating at least a portion of the wastewater generated in the synthesis product, the new method reduces cost of making of M41S materials and provides a more environmentally-friendly synthesis product.

US Classification:

585407, 585471, 585899, 423702, 423705, 423700

Abstract:

In a process for producing a phosphorus-modified zeolite catalyst, an aqueous reaction mixture comprising a source of silica and a source of an organic directing agent effective to direct the synthesis of a desired zeolite is heated at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce crystals of the desired zeolite. Wet zeolite crystals can then be separated from the reaction mixture and, without removing all the water from the wet zeolite crystals, the zeolite can be converted into the ammonium form by ion exchange, and the crystals can be treated with a phosphorus compound. The phosphorus-treated, ammonium-exchanged zeolite can then be formed into a catalyst to be heated in one or more stages to remove the water and organic directing agent from the zeolite crystals and to convert the zeolite to the hydrogen form.

502 87, 423700

Abstract:

In a process for producing a molecular sieve material, water, at least one source of an oxide of a tetravalent and/or a trivalent element and at least one structure directing agent is mixed in a reactor equipped with a mixer having a Froude number of at least 1, to produce a molecular sieve synthesis mixture having a solids content of at least about 20 wt %. The molecular sieve synthesis mixture is heated in the reactor while agitating the mixture with said mixer to form crystals of said molecular sieve material and the molecular sieve crystals are subsequently recovered from the reactor.
