Title: ZSM-5 catalysts having predominately framework gallium, methods of their preparation, and use thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5202105

This patent describes a method of introducing gallium as a zeolitic element in the framework of ZSM-5, wherein the resulting gallium incorporated ZSM-5 is substantially free of non-framework gallium. It comprises preparing a ZSM-5 crystallization reaction mixture by forming a hydrogel containing a source of SiO{sub 2} and a source of Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} wherein the SiO{sub 2} to the Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} is present in a molar ratio of less than 100/1; adding to the reaction mixture an amount of Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} such that the molar ratio of SiO{sub 2} to Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} ranges from 20/1 to 0.1/1 and is effective to cause the gallium content of the resulting zeolite to be a zeolitic framework element; maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions effective to cause formation of the gallium incorporated ZSM-5 and recovering the gallium incorporated ZSM-5.
