Preparation of zeolite

摘要

A process is provided for preparing zeolite, particularly ÄAlÜ-SSZ-31, which comprises the steps of providing a mixture of a zeolite source, an aluminum-containing material, an organic structure directing substance, preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of N,N'-bis-triethyl-1,6-hexanediyl-diammonium dihydroxide, N,N'-bis-triethyl-1,7-heptanediyl-diammonium dihydroxide, N,N'-bis-triethyl-1,8-octanediyl-diammonium dihydroxide, N,N'-bis-triethyl-1,9-nonanediyl-diammonium dihydroxide, N,N'-bis-triethyl-1,10-decanediyl-diammonium dihydroxide, and their salts, and water; drying said mixture to form a powdered dry gel; and contacting and reacting said dry gel with steam at a saturated vapor pressure to produce an aluminum-containing zeolite ÄAlÜ-SSZ-31.
