Patent number: 4840930Abstract: Zeolite Y and other faujasite type zeolites are made stable to acid by calcination in a steam-containing atmosphere with a slow, controlled heating rate in the temperature range at which chemically bound water in the zeolite is given off, generally from 500.degree. C. to 650.degree. C. The stabilized product may be extracted with acid to produce a zeolite having a higher silica:alumina ratio. The high silica forms of zeolite ZSM-20 which may be produced by this method are novel materials.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1986Date of Patent: June 20, 1989Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventors: Rene B. LaPierre, Randall D. Partridge, Paul T. Reischman, George T. Kerr

Patent number: 4093560Abstract: A method is provided for obtaining crystalline dealuminized products by treating a slurry of a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite in an aqueous solution of an ammonium or alkali metal salt which upon acidification yields an anion which complexes with aluminum by adding to said slurry a water-soluble acid having a first ionization constant greater than 10.sup.-2 at a rate such that a controlled amount of aluminum is removed from the zeolite to yield a resulting product from which at least about 10% and as much as about 85% of the initial aluminum has been removed while retaining more than 60% of the original crystallinity.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1976Date of Patent: June 6, 1978Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventors: George T.

Patent number: 4061717Abstract: Synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites are crystallized from an aqueous reaction mixture comprising sources of alkali metal oxide, silicate, aluminate and an ionene or ionomer which contains positively charged nitrogen atoms in such quantity as to satisfy some of the cationic sites of the eventual zeolite. The presence in the reaction mixture of such a polymer serves to direct crystallization of the zeolite, giving rise to the formation of large pore zeolites under conditions where small pore zeolites would otherwise result, to the formation of more siliceous zeolite than would otherwise result, and to the formation of certain species of zeolite essentially free of stacking faults, the crystallization of which has not heretofore been possible.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1976Date of Patent: December 6, 1977Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventors: George T. Kerr, Louis D. Rollmann
