Patent ID: 7846418

Claim:
A process for hydrocarbon conversion, said process comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock with an MCM-22 family molecular sieve under conversion conditions to form a product, wherein the MCM-22 family molecular sieve is made by a method comprising the steps of: (i) combining at least one silicon source, at least one source of alkali metal hydroxide, at least one directing-agent (R), water, and one aluminum source to form a mixture having the following mole composition: Si:Al 2 =15 to 50 H 2 O:Si=5 to 15 OH − :Si=0.1 to 0.3 M + :Si=0.1 to 0.3 R:Si=0.1 to 0.34 wherein M is an alkali metal; (ii) treating said mixture at crystallization conditions for less than 72 hr to form a product having said MCM-22 family molecular sieve, wherein said crystallization conditions comprises a temperature range from about 160° C. to about 250° C.; and (iii) recovering said molecular sieve; and (b) withdrawing said product.
