Abstract
Abstract A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic crystalline zeolite, including a zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than 100, which has been synthesized from a reaction mixture containing a diamine as a cation source, is disclosed which involves reacting the zeolite with a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride, contacting the hydrogen fluoride reacted zeolite with aluminum chloride, treating the aluminum chloride contacted zeolite by contact with an ammonium salt solution or ammonolysis and calcining the final product.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than about 100, said zeolite having been synthesized from a reaction mixture containing a diamine as a cation source, which comprises the sequential steps of reacting the zeolite 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, contacting the hydrogen fluoride reacted zeolite with aluminum chloride vapor at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 850° C., treating the aluminum chloride contacted zeolite by contact with an ammonium salt solution or ammonolysis, and calcining the resulting material at a temperature of from about 200° C. to about 600° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
137 words
A method for enhancing the activity of a synthetic porous crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio greater than about 100, said zeolite having been synthesized from a reaction mixture containing a diamine as a cation source, which comprises the sequential steps of reacting the zeolite 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, contacting the hydrogen fluoride reacted zeolite with aluminum chloride vapor at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 850° C., treating the aluminum chloride contacted zeolite by contact with an ammonium salt solution or ammonolysis, and calcining the resulting material at a temperature of from about 200° C. to about 600° C.
