Publication number: 20100249478Abstract: This invention relates to hydrocarbon conversion processes using a new family of crystalline aluminosilicate compositions designated the UZM-27 family. These include the UZM-27 and UZM-27HS which have unique structures. UZM-27 is a microporous composition which has a three-dimensional structure and is obtained by calcining the as synthesized form designated UZM-27P. UZM-27HS is a high silica version of UZM-27 and includes an essentially pure silica version of UZM-27.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2010Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: Mark A.
