Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
The process for preparing caustic washed molecular sieves of type 3A or 4A of improved acid scavenging ability, which comprises slurrying the sieves with the appropriate aqueous 0.10-0.5N caustic solution, heating for 1/4-1 hour at 70°-100° C., filtering, washing until the pH of the wash water is 10-11 and drying to a loss on ignition value of between 2-8%.
