Abstract

Abstract A method is disclosed for synthesizing a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite containing an organic nitrogen cation in the presence of a primary monoalkylamine having 2 to 9 carbon atoms in the alkyl portion. The method produces a zeolite having a very low percentage, i.e. less than about 0.14 weight percent, generally less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali metal, e.g. sodium, in the as-synthesized form. The product can be used directly as a catalyst without intermediate precalcination and cation exchange. This is not possible with zeolites such as those of the ZSM-5 type synthesized by the methods of the art.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
In a method for synthesizing a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite containing an organic nitrogen cation and selected from the group consisting of ZSM-5, ZSM-12, ZSM-35 and ZSM-38, wherein a reaction mixture comprising sources of silica, alumina, alkali metal, water and organo nitrogen cation precursor is prepared and maintained under conditions of temperature and pressure to effect crystallization of said aluminosilicate zeolite, the improvement wherein said precursor consists of a primary amine having 2 to 9 carbon atoms, wherein said zeolite contains, in the as-synthesized form, less than 0.14% by weight of alkali metal and wherein said mixture is stirred during the synthesis of said zeolite.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 104 words
In a method for synthesizing a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite containing an organic nitrogen cation and selected from the group consisting of ZSM-5, ZSM-12, ZSM-35 and ZSM-38, wherein a reaction mixture comprising sources of silica, alumina, alkali metal, water and organo nitrogen cation precursor is prepared and maintained under conditions of temperature and pressure to effect crystallization of said aluminosilicate zeolite, the improvement wherein said precursor consists of a primary amine having 2 to 9 carbon atoms, wherein said zeolite contains, in the as-synthesized form, less than 0.14% by weight of alkali metal and wherein said mixture is stirred during the synthesis of said zeolite.
