Methods for making zeolite-y particles

Abstract

A method for making zeolite-Y particles, the method may include forming a zeolite precursor solution including an alumina source material and a silica source material in a solvent. The method may include heating the zeolite precursor solution at a temperature of from 50° C. to 70° C. for a time period of from 12 hours to 24 hours to form an intermediate mixture. The method may include adding a structure directing agent and a swelling agent to the intermediate mixture; and following the adding of the structure directing agent and the swelling agent to the intermediate mixture, heating the intermediate mixture at a temperature of from 50° C. to 120° C. for a time period of from 12 hours to 24 hours to form the zeolite-Y particles.
