Abstract A shape selective catalyst useful in a variety of hydrocarbon conversion processes such as cracking, hydrocracking, hydrofining, isomerization, dewaxing, and the like, is obtained from the process which comprises steaming a precursor crystalline aluminosilicate in the hydrogen or ammonium form having a silica-alumina ratio greater than 12, a constraint index between about 1 and about 12 and an alpha value greater than about 20 in the presence of ammonia to provide a crystalline aluminosilicate having an alpha value of from about 10 to about 150 and thereafter ion-exchanging the steamed precursor with an alkali metal cation under conditions effective to further reduce the alpha value of the crystalline aluminosilicate to less than about 10.
In a process for the catalytic dewaxing of a hydrocarbon fraction under catalytic dewaxing conditions wherein the improvement comprises employing as catalyst for said dewaxing a composition obtained from the process which comprises steaming a precursor crystalline aluminosilicate in the hydrogen or ammonium form having a silica-alumina ratio greater than 12, a constraint index between about 1 and about 12 and an alpha value greater than about 20 in the presence of ammonia to provide a crystalline aluminosilicate having an alpha value of from about 10 to about 150 and thereafter ion-exchanging the steamed precursor with an alkali metal cation under conditions effective to further reduce the alpha value of the crystalline aluminosilicate to less than about 10.
