Abstract
Abstract A method is provided for enhancing the shape selectivity of a crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mol ratio greater than 10. The method consists of treating the zeolite with an ammonium fluoride solution at moderately elevated temperature, in the absence or in the presence of a matrix. The products are useful as shape-selective sorbents, and also as shape-selective catalysts for organic reactions including catalytic dewaxing.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A method for enhancing the selectivity for dewaxing of a porous crystalline zeolite selected from the group consisting of ZSM- 5, ZSM-35, and ZSM-38 having a silica to alumina mol ratio greater than about 10 and a crystal size ranging from about 2 to 5 microns which comprises: (a) calcining said zeolite between the temperature of about 300° C. and about 900° C.; (b)impregnating said calcined zeolite at 80° to 150° C. with an aqueous solution of ammonium fluoride which yields available fluoride ions to provide between about 2.0 to about 30% by weight of elemental fluorine in the final treated product of (e); (c) calcining said fluoride treated zeolite at a temperature between about 300° C. and about 900° C.; (d) contacting said calcined, fluoride treated zeolite with an aqueous solution of an ammoniun salt; and (e) calcining said ammonium treated zeolite.
