  • Patent number: 7754187
    Abstract: A method is disclosed of synthesizing a crystalline material comprising a CHA framework type molecular sieve and having a composition involving the molar relationship: (n)X2O3:YO2, wherein X is a trivalent element; Y is a tetravalent element; and n is from 0 to less than 0.01. The method comprises preparing a reaction mixture capable of forming said material, said mixture comprising a source of water, a source of an oxide of a tetravalent element Y and optionally a source of an oxide of a trivalent element X, wherein the reaction mixture is substantially free of fluoride ions added as HF; maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to form crystals of the crystalline material; and than recovering the crystalline material. The reaction mixture comprises either a specific directing agent for directing the formation of a CHA framework type molecular sieve and/or a H2O:YO2 molar ratio of greater than 20.

  • Patent number: 7670589
    Abstract: The synthesis of a crystalline material, in particular, a high silica zeolite, comprising a chabazite-type framework molecular sieve is conducted in the presence of an organic directing agent having the formula: [R1R2R3N—R4]+Q? wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrocarbyl groups and hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, provided that R1 and R2 may be joined to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure, R3 is an alkyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms and R4 is selected from a 4- to 8-membered cycloalkyl group, optionally, substituted by 1 to 3 alkyl groups each having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and a 4- to 8-membered heterocyclic group having from 1 to 3 heteroatoms, said heterocyclic group being, optionally, substituted by 1 to 3 alkyl groups each having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and the or each heteroatom in said heterocyclic group being selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S, or R3 and R4 are hydrocarbyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon a

  • Publication number: 20090111959
    Abstract: A crystalline material has a DDR framework type and, in its calcined, anhydrous form, has a composition involving the molar relationship: (n)X2O3:YO2, wherein X is a trivalent element, Y is a tetravalent element and n is from 0 to less than 0.01 and wherein the crystals of said material have an average diameter less than or equal to 2 microns. The material is synthesized in the presence of an N-ethyltropanium compound as directing agent.

  • Patent number: 7094389
    Abstract: A crystalline material substantially free of framework phosphorus and comprising a CHA framework type molecular sieve with stacking faults or at least one intergrown phase of a CHA framework type molecular sieve and an AEI framework type molecular sieve, wherein said material, in its calcined, anhydrous form, has a composition involving the molar relationship: (n)X2O3:YO2, wherein X is a trivalent element; Y is a tetravalent element; and n is from 0 to about 0.5. The material exhibits activity and selectivity in the conversion of methanol to lower olefins, especially ethylene and propylene.

  • Patent number: 7067108
    Abstract: The synthesis of a crystalline material, in particular a high silica zeolite, having a chabazite-type framework is aided by the addition to the synthesis mixture of seeds of an AEI framework-type material. The chabazite-type product has a relatively small crystal size and exhibits activity and selectivity in the conversion of methanol to lower olefins, especially ethylene and propylene.

  • Patent number: 7008610
    Abstract: A crystalline material is described that has an AEI framework type, wherein the material, in its calcined, anhydrous form, has a composition involving the molar relationship: (n)X2O3:YO2, wherein X is a trivalent element, Y is a tetravalent element n is from 0 to less than 0.01. The material is normally synthesized in a halide, typically a fluoride, medium and exhibits activity and selectivity in the conversion of methanol to lower olefins, especially ethylene and propylene.
