Abstract
Abstract Aluminosilicates containing an organic nitrogen cation are prepared by mixing sources of silica, alumina and an alkali metal, water and either mono-ethanolamine or mono-propanolamine, or a derivative, or the precursors or a combination thereof and maintaining the mixture at a temperature in the range from 80° to 210° C. and a pressure in the range from 70 to 400 psig for over 4 hours. In a preferred embodiment the alkanolamines are prepared in situ` by reaction of the corresponding alkylene oxide with ammonia. Aluminosilicates so-prepared can be used without modification as catalysts and catalyst supports. Catalytic activity can be enhanced by, for example, reducing the sodium content or impregnating with a compound of one or more metals belonging to Groups 1B, 11B, 111A, 1VA, VA and V111 or reaction with a compound of one or more non-metals of Group 111A and VA of the Periodic Table.
