Abstract: Crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites are used as catalysts for various hydrocarbon conversion processes and are particularly useful for conversion of paraffins in the presence of an alkylatable aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for synthesizing a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite containing an organic nitrogen cation in the presence of a primary monoalkylamine having 2 to 9 carbon atoms in the alkyl portion. The method produces a zeolite having a very low percentage, i.e. less than about 0.14 weight percent, generally less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali metal, e.g. sodium, in the as-synthesized form. The product can be used directly as a catalyst without intermediate precalcination and cation exchange. This is not possible with zeolites such as those of the ZSM-5 type synthesized by the methods of the art.

Abstract: As synthesized by previous methods, ZSM-4 zeolites are crystallized in the presence of substantial amounts of a tetramethylammonium hydroxide or halide. When synthesized in this way, they contain the tetramethylammonium cation as well as a metal cation such as sodium. To obtain a more catalytically active form, the sodium ion must be exchanged to very low levels. Catalysts prepared in this manner have been found to be quite low in stability. By synthesizing these zeolites in the presence of pyrrolidine or choline salts, ZSM-4 having a different organic nitrogen containing cation but the same crystal structure as previously prepared ZSM-4 is obtained. Catalysts made therefrom are, surprisingly, much more stable than those prepared from ZSM-4 made by previous methods.
