Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing zeolites using pyrrolidinium cations as structure directing agents.
Claims57
A process for preparing a medium pore size zeolite which comprises:
- (a) preparing an aqueous solution from (1) sources of an alkali metal oxide, alkaline earth metal oxide or mixtures thereof;
- (2) sources of an oxide selected from the oxides of aluminum, iron, gallium, indium, titanium, vanadium or mixtures thereof;
- (3) sources of an oxide selected from oxides of silicon, germanium or mixtures thereof;
- and (4) at least one pyrrolidinium cation capable of forming the zeolite and having the following formula:
- where R1 is C1-C4 alkyl or benzyl, and R2is C5-C8 cycloalkyl, or alkylated C5-C8 cycloalkyl;
- (b) maintaining the aqueous solution under conditions sufficient to form crystals of the zeolite;
- and
- (c) recovering the crystals of the zeolite.
