Abstract
A process for the production of a modified H-mordenite which comprises bringing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal-type mordenite into contact with SiCl.sub.4 under a heating condition and then converting the treated mordenite into an H-type via ion exchange, a catalyst comprising the modified H-mordenite and a process for the production of methylamines using the use of the catalyst.
Claims2
A process for the synthesis of methylamines comprising reacting methanol and ammonia in the presence of a catalyst comprising a modified H-mordenite obtained by a process which comprises bringing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal mordenite into contact with SiCl.sub.4 with heating and then converting the treated mordenite into an H-mordenite via ion exchange.
