  • Patent number: 7837977
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing crystalline titanosilicate zeolite TS-1 from a reaction mixture containing only sufficient water to produce zeolite TS-1. In one embodiment, the reaction mixture is self-supporting and may be shaped if desired. In the method, the reaction mixture is heated at crystallization conditions and in the absence of an added external liquid phase, so that excess liquid need not be removed from the crystallized product.

  • Patent number: 7824658
    Abstract: A method for preparing a crystalline molecular sieve having MTT framework topology and crystallite sizes of about 150 to about 600 Angstroms, comprising: a. preparing a reaction mixture comprising, in terms of mole ratios, the following. YO2/W2O3 30-40 R+/YO2 0.06-0.12 OH?/YO2 0.20-0.26 K+/YO2 0.09-0.15 and an amount of water not substantially in excess of the amount required to cause and maintain crystallization, wherein Y is silicon, germanium or mixtures thereof; W is aluminum, boron, gallium, iron or mixtures thereof; and R+ is a diisopropylimidazolium cation, and b. heating said reaction mixture at crystallization conditions and in the absence of an external liquid phase for sufficient time to form a crystallized material containing crystals of the molecular sieve. Also, a method to make the shaped ultrasmall crystal MTT molecular sieve, and a method to form the molecular sieve using a particular order of addition of components.
