As synthesized by previous methods, ZSM-5 or ZSM-11 zeolites are crystallized in the presence of substantial amounts of a nitrogen-containing compound. When synthesized in this way, they contain an organic ammonium cation as well as a metal cation such as sodium. To obtain a more active form, the sodium ion must be exchanged out. Such exchange, especially with ZSM-5 and ZSM-11, is difficult unless there is calcination of the zeolite to remove the obstructing organo compounds. By making these zeolites in the presence of (1) seeds of the desired zeolite, (2) mixtures of them with ammonium hydroxide and/or alcohol, (3) the alcohol per se or (4) mixtures of the alcohol with ammonium hydroxide, a product substantially deficient in organic ammonium cation is obtained. These products can be exchanged directly without any calcination.
In a method for synthesizing a crystalline aluminosilicate ZSM-11 zeolite from a reaction mixture comprising water, sources of silicate, alumina and alkali metal, the improvement whereby the zeolite is synthesized in a reaction mixture consisting essentially of said sources and a member selected from the group consisting (1) ZSM-11 seeds, (2) mixtures of ZSM-11 seeds with alcohol, (3) mixtures of ZSM-11 seeds with alcohol and ammonium hydroxide, and (4) mixtures of ZSM-11 seeds with ammonium hydroxide to yield a zeolite ZSM-11 product containing no more than about 0.2% by weight of organic nitrogen.
Process for preparing a synthetic crystalline zeolite molecular sieve having the chemical composition and X-ray powder diffraction pattern of zeolite ZSM-11, which comprises forming an aqueous reaction mixture consisting essentially of inorganic reagents including ZSM-11 seeds and having the following compositions in terms of mole ratios of oxides:
