DELAMINATED MICROPOROUS SOLID

摘要

The invention concerns a microporous oxide material ITQ6, with a characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern, and surface areas for which microporous surface area may be of at least 20 m2/g the external surface area may be at least 350 m2/g and the total surface area may be at least 400 m2/g. It may be made via preparation of gel, its hydrothermal treatment, and the treatment of the resulting material with a swelling solution followed by at least partial delamination e.g., by mechanical agitation or ultrasonics. The final oxide material is calcined and, in its acid form or combined with metals, especially noble metals, is useful as catalyst for the isomerization of n-butene to isobutene, or in dewaxing and isodewaxing processes and as a catalytic cracking catalyst or as an additive in FCC catalysts.
