Abstract: This disclosure relates to a crystalline MCM-22 family molecular sieve composition having, in its as-synthesized form, an X-ray diffraction pattern including a peak at d-spacing maximum of 12.33±0.23 Angstroms, a distinguishable peak at a d-spacing maximum between 12.57 to about 14.17 Angstroms and a non-discrete peak at a d-spacing maximum between 8.8 to 11. Angstroms, wherein the peak intensity of the d-spacing maximum between 12.57 to about 14.17 Angstroms is less than 90% of the peak intensity of the d-spacing maximum at 12.33±0.23 Angstroms. This disclosure also relates to methods of making the crystalline MCM-22 family molecular sieve composition.

Abstract: The present invention is a method that perturbs the initial crystallization of a material from a less desired phase into a more desired phase. More specifically, the present invention is a method to form a different crystallization of a zeolite, mesoporous material, SAPO4, AlPO4 or porous inorganic oxide after the hydrothermal synthesis has started and a precursor crystalline phase has formed.

Abstract: The present invention includes a microporous or mesoporous composition of matter in which the composition is formed continuously or semi-continuously in a heated reactor zone at a temperature between 200° C. and 500° C. with a residence time less than 24 hours. The reagents are solid and liquid reagents in which the solid reagents have a weight percent between 45% and 98% of the total reagents. The invention also includes a continuous or semi-continuous process for the hydrothermal manufacture of the microporous or mesoporous composition.
