Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A method for increasing acid cracking activity of alkali metal zeolites having a silica to alumina greater than about 12, a constraint index of about 1 to 12, and an initial α-value less than about 2 which comprises forming a mixture of the alkali metal zeolite with alumina and steaming the mixture at a temperature of at least about 300° C. for at least two hours to increase α-value.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
69 words
A method for increasing acid cracking activity of alkali metal zeolites having a silica to alumina greater than about 12, a constraint index of about 1 to 12, and an initial α-value less than about 2 which comprises forming a mixture of the alkali metal zeolite with alumina and steaming the mixture at a temperature of at least about 300° C. for at least two hours to increase α-value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the zeolite is ZSM-5.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the zeolite is ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-23, ZSM-35 or ZSM-38.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the zeolite is in the sodium form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein NaZSM-5 is steamed at about 400° C. to 500° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the mixture comprises said zeolite and binder in a weight ratio of about 10:90 to 90:10.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A composite catalyst consisting essentially of NaZSM-5 and alumina binder prepared by the method of claim 1.
