Claims27
A method of preparing a composition comprising a zeolite and a matrix comprising alumina wherein the composition exhibits an alpha value of said zeolite, wherein said zeolite has a SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 molar ratio of at least about 10, has an alpha value of less than about 100 and contains a framework tetrahedral element selected from the group consisting of B, Ga, In and Tl, wherein the method comprises
- (a) providing the zeolite containing an alkylammonium salt;
- (b) ion exchanging the zeolite to replace alkali metal cations with ammonium cations;
- (c) binding the zeolite with an aluminum containing material;
- and
- (d) calcining the zeolite containing aluminum material to decompose organic material and convert the zeolite to the acid or hydrogen form, and thereby producing said composition having the alpha value which is the alpha value of said zeolite in said acid or hydrogen form, absent said matrix.
A method of preparing a composition comprising a zeolite and a matrix comprising alumina wherein the composition exhibits an alpha value of said zeolite, wherein said zeolite has a SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 molar ratio of at least about 10, has a constraint index of about 1 to 12, has an alpha value of less than about 100 and contains boron as a framework tetrahedral element, wherein the method comprises
- (a) providing the zeolite containing an alkylammonium salt;
- (b) ion exchanging the zeolite to replace alkali metal cations with ammonium cations;
- (c) binding the zeolite with an aluminum containing material;
- and
- (d) calcining the zeolite containing aluminum material to decompose organic material and convert the zeolite to the acid or hydrogen form, and thereby producing said composition having the alpha value which is the alpha value of said zeolite is said acid or hydrogen form, absent said matrix.
A method of preparing a composition comprising zeolite beta and a matrix comprising alumina wherein the composition exhibits an alpha value of said zeolite beta, wherein said zeolite beta has a SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 molar ratio of at least about 10, has an alpha value of less than about 100 and contains a framework tetrahedral element selected from the group consisting of B, Ga, In and Tl, wherein the method comprises
- (a) providing the zeolite containing an alkylammonium salt;
- (b) ion exchanging the zeolite to replace alkali metal cations with ammonium cations;
- (c) binding the zeolite with an aluminum containing material;
- and
- (d) calcining the zeolite containing aluminum material to decompose organic material and convert the zeolite to the acid or hydrogen form, and thereby producing said composition having the alpha value which is the alpha value of said zeolite in said acid or hydrogen form, absent said matrix.
