Freeze Dry Process for the Preparation of a High Surface Area and High Pore Volume Catalyst

摘要

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of a catalyst having a high surface area and pore volume. The process includes freeze drying an intermediary of the catalyst. The present invention further includes a catalyst prepared by a process that includes the freeze drying step. The present invention also includes a catalyst having a high acidity, as indicated by having an ammonium desorption peak at greater than about 500° C. The prevent invention further includes a method of manufacturing isomerized organic compounds using the catalyst.
