Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A PRETREATMENT METHOD FOR IMPROVING AND STABILIZING THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF A PELLETED, MOLECULAR SIEVE ALUMINO-SILICATE CRYSTALLINE ZEOLITE HAVING A SILICA/ALUMINA MOLE-RATIO BETWEEN ABOUT 2.5 AND 10, AND WHEREIN SAID PELLETS WERE INITIALLY PREPARED BY COMPRESSING INTO TABLES AN INCOMPLETELY HYDRATED, POWDERDERED, MICROCRYSSTALLINE AMMONIUM FORM OF SAID ZEOLITE, FOLLOWED BY A CALCINING OPERATION AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 700*F. TO FORM A CORRESPONDING HYDROGEN ZEOLITE, WHICH COMPRISES: (1) REHYDRATING SAID CATALYST PELLETS TO A WATER CONTENT OF AT LEAST ABOUT 20% BY WEIGHT, (2) AMMONIATING SAID HYDRATED PELLETS TO SUBSTANTIAL SATURATION WITH GASEOUS AMMONIA, AND (3) RECALCINING THE AMMONIATED PELLETS AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 650* AND 1200*F. TO THEREBY IMPART ADDED MECHANCIAL STRENGTH AND STABILITY THERETO.
