Abstract: A new family of coherently grown composites of TUN and IMF zeotypes have been synthesized. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula. NanMmk+TtAl1?xExSiyOz where “n” is the mole ratio of Na to (Al+E), M represents a metal or metals from zinc, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and or the lanthanide series of the periodic table, “m” is the mole ratio of M to (Al+E), “k” is the average charge of the metal or metals M, T is the organic structure directing agent or agents, and E is a framework element such as gallium. These zeolites are similar to TNU-9 and IM-5 but are characterized by unique compositions and synthesis procedures and have catalytic properties for carrying out various hydrocarbon conversion processes and separation properties for carrying out various separations.

Abstract: A zeolite X having (a) a Si/Al framework mole ratio in a range from 1.0 to 1.5; (b) a mean diameter not greater than 2.7 microns; and (c) a relative LTA intensity not greater than 0.35, as determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The relative LTA intensity is calculated as 100 times the quotient of a sample LTA XRD intensity divided by a reference XRD intensity of an LTA-type zeolite material. The intensities are summed for each LTA peak with Miller indices of (2 0 0), (4 2 0), and (6 2 2) at 7.27±0.16°, 16.29±0.34° and 24.27±0.50° 2?.

The zeolite X composition has an average Si/Al framework mole ratio in a range from 1.0 to 1.5, and a relative LTA intensity not greater than 1.0, as determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD).

Abstract: A catalyst for converting methanol to light olefins and the process for making and using the catalyst are disclosed and claimed. SAPO-34 is a specific catalyst that benefits from its preparation in accordance with this invention. A seed material is used in making the catalyst that has a higher content of the EL metal than is found in the principal part of the catalyst. The molecular sieve has predominantly a roughly rectangular parallelepiped morphology crystal structure with a lower fault density and a better selectivity for light olefins.
