Abstract
Abstract Catalysts of improved strength and activity are formed by compositing a clay matrixing material with a zeolite which contains cations of a Group IB metal, preferably a monovalent metal such as silver. The presence of the cations gives the zeolite improved resistance to the high sintering temperatures necessary to confer adequate strength upon the resulting catalyst.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of forming a calcined zeolite containing catalyst, which comprises treating the zeolite, having exchangeable sites, with a source of a Group IB metal cation in an amount sufficient to insure that at least 10 percent of the exchangeable sites are Group IB metal cation exchanged; forming a composite of said exchanged zeolite with a clay matrixing material, in which the zeolite does not exceed about 50 percent by weight of the composite; and calcining the composite at a temperature above 600° C., whereby the alpha value of the composite after calcination is greater than that of a calcined mixture of said clay matrixing material and the zeolite.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of forming a calcined zeolite containing catalyst, which comprises treating the zeolite, having exchangeable sites, with a source of a Group IB metal cation in an amount sufficient to insure that at least 10 percent of the exchangeable sites are Group IB metal cation exchanged; forming a composite of said exchanged zeolite with a clay matrixing material, in which the zeolite does not exceed about 50 percent by weight of the composite; and calcining the composite at a temperature above 600° C., whereby the alpha value of the composite after calcination is greater than that of a calcined mixture of said clay matrixing material and the zeolite.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said zeolite is ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-20, ZSM-35, ZSM-39, zeolite X, zeolite Y, zeolite Beta or mordenite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said Group IB metal is copper or silver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the zeolite is characterized by a constraint index of about 1 to about 12.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 4, wherein the Group IB metal is copper or silver.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 5, wherein the Group IB metal is silver and the zeolite is ZSM-5 whereby the alpha value of the composite is a function of calcination temperature as shown in FIGURE.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 5, wherein the Group IB metal is copper and the zeolite is ZSM-5.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the zeolite is formed into a composite with the clay matrixing material by forming a slurry of the zeolite with the clay matrixing material and spray drying the slurry.
