Claims
- 1. A catalytic composition for disproportionation of petroleum hydrocarbons consisting essentially of a tungsten/molybdenum component deposited upon an acidic cracking component consisting essentially of a mordenite large pore crystalline aluminosilicate material and a refractory inorganic oxide consisting essentially of a catalytically active alumina selected from the group consisting of gamma-alumina and eta-alumina, wherein said mordenite large pore crystalline aluminosilicate material of said acidic cracking component is suspended in and dispersed throughout a matrix of said inorganic oxide.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the said tungsten/molybdenum component comprises tungsten in an amount within the range of about 1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent, expressed as WO.sub.3 and based upon the total weight of said catalytic composition, and molybdenum in an amount within the range of about 1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent expressed as MoO.sub.3 and based upon the total weight of said catalytic composition.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said mordenite, large-pore crystalline aluminosilicate material is present in said acidic cracking component in an amount within the range of about 5 weight percent to about 95 weight percent based upon the weight of said cracking component, said mordenite being characterized by a theoretical silica-to-alumina ratio that is about 10 to 1, the effective pore diameter in Angstroms (A) is within the range of 6 to 9 A, and the surface area in square meters/gram is within the range of 400-450 m.sup.2 /g.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said catalytically active alumina is present in said acidic cracking component in an amount within the range of about 5 weight percent to about 95 weight percent based upon the weight of said cracking component, said catalytically active alumina being selected from the group consisting of gamma-alumina and eta-alumina with a pore diameter of about 70 Angstroms (A) to about 200 A and a surface area within the range of from about 200 square meters per gram to about 500 square meters per gram.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said catalytic composition comprises a tungsten/molybdenum component of 3 weight percent WO.sub.3 and 5 weight percent MoO.sub.3 of total weight of said catalytic composition and an acidic cracking component comprising 60 weight percent mordenite and 40 weight percent catalytically active alumina of total weight of said acidic cracking component.
- 6. The composition of claim 5 wherein said mordenite is mordenite-H.
- 7. The composition of claim 5 wherein said catalytically active alumina is gamma-alumina.
