Patent ID: 8080234

Claim:
A molecular sieve manufactured by a method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a mixture comprising at least one source of ions of a tetravalent element, at least one source of an alkali metal hydroxide, at least one directing-agent (R), water, and optionally at least one source of ions of a trivalent element, said mixture having the following mole composition: Y:X 2 =10 to infinity H 2 O:Y=1 to 20 OH − :Y=0.001 to 2 M + :Y=0.001 to 2 R:Y=0.001 to 0.34 wherein Y is a tetravalent element, X is a trivalent element, M is an alkali metal; (b) treating said mixture to form said molecular sieve at crystallization conditions, wherein said crystallization conditions comprise a temperature in the range of from about 165° C. to about 250° C., and crystallization time less than 72 hr; and (c) recovering said molecular sieve, wherein said molecular sieve is characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima at 12.4±0.25, 3.57±0.07 and 3.42±0.07 Angstroms and at least one peak between 26.6° and 29° (2θ).
