Patent ID: 6906233

Claim:
A hydrocarbon conversion process comprising the steps of: (a) introducing a feedatock to a reactor system in the presence of a microcrystalline metalloaluminophosphate molecular sieve having the AFX framework type and comprising within its cages and/or channels a compound containing at least one M-O group, wherein the compound containing at least one M-O group was formed by introducing a compound containing at least one M-X group within the cages of said microporous molecular sieve, wherein M is boron and X is halogen and the compound containing at least one M-O group occupies up to 50% of the volume of the cages and channels of the molecular sieve; (b) withdrawing from the reactor system an effluent stream; and (c) passing the effluent gas through a recovery system recovering at least the one or more conversion products.
