Abstract:
1. A modified zeolite Y having a modified faujasite structure, whose intracrystalline structure has at least one network of micropores, at least one network of small mesopores with a mean diameter of 2 to 5 nm, and at least one network of large mesopores with a mean diameter of 10 to 50 nm, these various networks being interconnected, wherein the ratio Vs/Vl of the volume of the small mesopores (Vs) to the volume of the large mesopores (Vl) of the modified zeolite Y is greater than or equal to 1, and the Si/Al atomic ratio of the modified zeolite Y is from 17 to 35; and wherein the modified zeolite Y is produced by a process comprising (i) suspending a zeolite Y or a composite material comprising the zeolite Y in a basic aqueous solution comprising at least one strong base at a concentration ranging from 0.001 to 0.5 M, at room temperature, with magnetic or mechanical stirring, b) filtering off the product obtained in step (a) and washing with a solvent, c) optionally drying the product obtained in step (b), d) placing the product obtained in step (c) in contact, with stirring, in a solution of NH e) washing the product obtained in step (d) with distilled water to neutral pH, f) calcining the product obtained in step (e), and g) recovering the product obtained in step (f), which is the modified zeolite Y.
