Patent ID: 7157075

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 an alkali metal oxide, alkaline earth metal oxide or mixtures thereof; (2) optionally, sources of an oxide selected from the oxides of aluminum, boron, iron, gallium, indium, titanium, vanadium or mixtures thereof; (3) sources of silicon oxide; and (4) at least one nitrogen-containing organic compound selected from the group consisting of the following: where pol. indicates that the molecule is polymeric where pol. indicates that the molecule is polymeric 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.
