Abstract: A method of making a crystalline molecular sieve of MFI framework type, preferably ZSM-5, from a synthesis mixture comprising at least one source of tetravalent element (Y), at least one source of trivalent element (X), at least one source of alkali metal hydroxide (MOH), at least one structure directing; (R) and water, said synthesis mixture having the following molar composition: YO2, (p)X2O3: (q) MOH: (r) R: (s) H2O, wherein (p) is from 0.005 to 0.025, (q) is from 0.05 to 0.5, (r) is from 0.05 to 0.15 and (s) is from 35 to 45, wherein the ratio of the largest dimension (L) to the smallest dimension (S) of each crystal of the molecular sieve product is at least 5, and the smallest dimension (S) is from 20 nm to 200 nm.

Abstract: Methods are provided for synthesizing ZSM-58 crystals with an improved morphology and/or an improved size distribution. By controlling the conditions during synthesis of the ZSM-58 crystals, crystals of a useful size with a narrow size distribution can be generated. Additionally, by controlling the ratio of water content to silica content in the synthesis mixture, it has unexpectedly been found that ZSM-58 crystals can be formed with an improved morphology. The improved morphology can result in ZSM-58 crystals with a more uniform size across the various dimensions of the crystal, which allows for more uniform diffusion within the crystal. This is in contrast to conventionally synthesized crystals, where the size of the crystal can vary along different axes of the crystals.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) and/or aluminophosphate (ALPO) molecular sieves. The method includes maintaining the slurry of the as crystallized molecular sieve under substantially static conditions when stored after substantially complete crystallization and prior to recovery of the product.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for making a silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) molecular sieve from a reaction mixture comprising components present in amounts sufficient to form the SAPO, the reaction mixture having a first pH. The method comprises the steps of: adding an acid to the reaction mixture after the reaction mixture undergoes a change in pH from the first pH; and crystallizing the SAPO from the reaction mixture. The present invention is also directed to a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve made by this process.

Abstract: In SAPO manufacture, handling of the synthesis mixture is facilitated by providing an initial aluminium-containing aqueous slurry with an H2O:Al2O3 weight ratio of 3:1 to 8:1.
