Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 151 words
In the method for selectively converting hydrocarbons boiling above about 700° F. to midbarrel fuel products boiling between about 300° and 700° F. which comprises reacting said hydrocarbons with hydrogen under hydrocracking conditions in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising a hydrogenation component and a crystalline aluminosilicate cracking component, the improvement which comprises utilizing as a cracking component a zeolite aluminosilicate having a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of from 4.5 to 35, the essential X-ray powder diffraction pattern of zeolite Y, an ion exchange capacity of not greater than 0.070, a unit cell dimension a.sub.° of from 24.20 to 24.45 A, a surface area of at least 350 m 2 /g (B-E-T), a sorptive capacity for water vapor at 25° C. and a p/p.sub.° value of 0.10 of less than 5.00 weight percent and a Residual Butanol Test value of not more than 0.40 weight percent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 151 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein the SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of the zeolite aluminosilicate is from 4.5 to 9.
