<p>A method for enhancing the shape selectivity and adjusting catalytic activity of a crystalline zeolite, including a highly siliceous zeolite, is disclosed. Such a method involves contacting the zeolite with an ammonium fluoride solution in the absence of an aluminum source, optionally contacting the treated zeolite with a warm aqueous solution of an ammonium salt and then calcining the fluoride and ammonium treated zeolite to produce a more shape selective zeolite material. Such treated zeolites are useful in catalysts which promote shape selective conversion of organic compounds including, for example, hydrocarbon cracking reactions.</p> |
