Patent ID: 8636976

Claim:
A method of making a crystalline molecular sieve, said crystalline molecular sieve having, in its as-synthesized form, an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima at 13.18±0.25 and 12.33±0.23 Angstroms, wherein the peak intensity of said d-spacing maximum at 13.18±0.25 Angstroms is at least as great as 90% of the peak intensity of said d-spacing maximum at 12.33±0.23 Angstroms, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a mixture comprising at least one source of at least one tetravalent element (Y), at least one source of at least one alkali or alkali earth metal element, at least one directing-agent (R), water, and optionally at least one source of at least one trivalent element (X), said mixture having the following molar ratio: Y:X 2 =10 to infinity H 2 O:Y =1 to 10000 OH − :Y =0.001 to 0.59 M + :Y =0.001 to 2 R:Y =0.001 to 2 wherein M is an alkali metal and R is at least one N,N,N,N′N′N′-hexamethyl-1,5-pentanediaminium salt (Me 6 -diquat-5 salt(s)), wherein said OH − :Y is calculated without trivalent element source correction; and (b) submitting the mixture at crystallization conditions to form a product comprising the desired crystalline molecular sieve, wherein the crystallization conditions comprise a temperature in the range of from 100° C. to 200° C., and a crystallization time from about 1 hour to 400 hours.
