Abstract:
1. A catalyst suitable for hydrocarbon conversion, said catalyst comprising: (i) at least one macrostructure having a three dimensional network of self supporting and self bound particles comprising a first porous inorganic material, said particles (a) having an average particle size of less than about 2 microns; (b) occupying less than 75% of the total volume of said at least one macrostructure; and (c) being joined together to form a three-dimensional interconnected network comprised of pores having diameters greater than about 20 Å, and (ii) a coating comprised of a second porous inorganic material and covering at least a portion of the external surface of said at least one macrostructure, wherein said first porous inorganic material and said second porous inorganic material are crystalline microporous molecular sieve, and said first porous inorganic material has a composition, or composition structure type, that is different from the composition, or composition structure type, of said second porous inorganic material.
