Process for producing crystalline aluminosilicates having in the hydrogen form an X-ray diffraction pattern substantially as set forth in Table 1 of this specification and the following composition in terms of the mole ratios of the oxides:… 0.9 + 0.2 M2/nO:Al2O3:SiO2:yH2O:zNH3… wherein M is at least one cation having a valence n, x is at least 10, y/x is from 0 to 5 and z/x is 0-5. The process comprises mixing a source of silica, a source of alumina, a source of alkali metal(s), water and ammonia until a homogeneous gel is formed and crystallising the gel at a temperature above 70 DEG C for a period of at least 2 hours. The crystalline aluminosilicate thus produced can be used, whether or not impregnated and/or ion-exchanged, as catalysts for any one of the following reactions: alkylation, dealkylation, dehydrocyclodimerisation, aromatisation, transalkylation, isomerisation, dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, cracking, cyclisation, oligomerisation, polymerisation, and dehydration reactions. |
