Patent ID: 7682600

Claim:
A process for preparing a zeolite having the MTT framework topology defined by the connectivity of the tetrahedral atoms in the zeolite, said process comprising: (a) preparing a reaction mixture comprising (1) sources of potassium oxide; (2) optionally, sources of an oxide selected from the oxides of aluminum, boron, iron, gallium, titanium, vanadium or mixtures thereof (3) sources of silicon oxide; (4) a structure directing agent comprising a N,N,N,N′,N′N′-hexamethyl-propane-1,3-diammonium dication (hereinafter also referred to as “SDA Q”) and (5) water; (b) maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to form crystals of the zeolite; and (c) recovering the crystals of the zeolite.
