Abstract
Abstract A method for enhancing the activity of a crystalline zeolite, including a zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio greater than 100, is disclosed which involves impregnating the zeolite with an ammoniacal aluminum fluoride solution, contacting the impregnated zeolite with a warm aqeuous solution of an ammonium salt and then calcining the final product.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio of 70 or more which comprises impregnating the zeolite at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 100° C. with an ammoniacal aluminum fluoride solution comprising from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of an aluminum fluoride in solution with at least one member selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide and ammonia, contacting the impregnated zeolite with a warm aqueous 0.1 to 2 Normal solution of an ammonium salt, and calcining the ammonium salt solution contacted material at a temperature of from about 200° C. to about 600° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio of 70 or more which comprises impregnating the zeolite at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 100° C. with an ammoniacal aluminum fluoride solution comprising from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of an aluminum fluoride in solution with at least one member selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide and ammonia, contacting the impregnated zeolite with a warm aqueous 0.1 to 2 Normal solution of an ammonium salt, and calcining the ammonium salt solution contacted 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 100.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said zeolite is ZSM-5 or ZSM-11.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A zeolite composition having enhanced activity prepared by the method of claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
