Abstract

Abstract A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic crystalline zeolite, including a zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio greater than 100, is disclosed which involves compositing the zeolite with an alumina support matrix and reacting the extrudate with a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 108 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than about 100 which comprises compositing same with alumina, reacting the composite with a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride of from about 0.1 to about 5 Normal at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 30° C. for a time of less than about 60 minutes, drying the hydrogen fluoride reacted composite, treating the dried hydrogen fluoride reacted composite by contact with an ammonium salt solution, by hydrolysis or ammonolysis, and calcining the resulting material at a temperature of from about 200° C. to about 600° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 108 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than about 100 which comprises compositing same with alumina, reacting the composite with a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride of from about 0.1 to about 5 Normal at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 30° C. for a time of less than about 60 minutes, drying the hydrogen fluoride reacted composite, treating the dried hydrogen fluoride reacted composite by contact with an ammonium salt solution, by hydrolysis or ammonolysis, and calcining the resulting material at a temperature of from about 200° C. to about 600° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said zeolite has a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than about 500.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said dried hydrogen fluoride reacted composite is treated by contact with an ammonium salt solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
