  • Patent number: 7208137
    Abstract: Zeolites having the IFR structure and containing aluminum in their crystal structure can be made by preparing a reaction mixture comprising a zeolite which is an active source of aluminum oxide, an active source of alkali metal oxide, an active source of an oxide of a tetravalent element, an organic template selected from the group consisting of a 1-benzyl-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane cation and a N-benzyl quinuclidinium cation, and maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to form crystals of the zeolite.

  • Publication number: 20070048214
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of making a small crystal SSZ-32 zeolite, known as SSZ-32X. The catalyst is suitable for use in a process whereby a feed including straight chain and slightly branched paraffins having 10 or more carbon atoms is dewaxed to produce an isomenized product, with increased yield of isomerized material and decreased production of light ends.
