Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a zeolitic material SiO2 and X2O3 in its framework structure, wherein X stands for a trivalent element, wherein said process comprises interzeolitic conversion of a first zeolitic material comprising SiO2 and X2O3 in its framework structure, wherein the first zeolitic material has an FER-, TON-, MTT-, BEA-, MEL-, MWW-, MFS-, and/or MFI-type framework structure to a second zeolitic material comprising SiO2 and X2O3 in its framework structure, wherein the second zeolitic material obtained in (2) has a different type of framework structure than the first zeolitic material. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a zeolitic material per se as obtainable and/or obtained according to the inventive process and to its use, in particular as a molecular sieve, as an adsorbent, for ion-exchange, or as a catalyst and/or as a catalyst support.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A process for preparing a zeolite material having a framework structure comprising SiO 2 and X 2 O 3 , wherein X is a trivalent element, the process comprising:
(1) preparing a mixture comprising a structure directing agent and a first zeolite material having a framework structure comprising SiO 2 and X 2 O 3 , wherein the first zeolite material has an FER-, TON-, MTT-, BEA-, MEL-, MWW-, MIS-, and/or MFI-type framework structure; and
(2) heating the mixture, to obtain a second zeolite material having a framework structure comprising SiO 2 and X 2 O 3 ,
wherein the second zeolite material obtained in (2) has a different type of framework structure than the first zeolite material comprised in the mixture prepared in (1)
wherein the second zeolite material obtained in (2) has a CHA-type framework structure or an AEI-type framework structure, and wherein the mixture prepared in (1) and heated in (2) further comprises one source for OH—, wherein said one source consists of sodium hydroxide.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the mixture prepared in (1) further comprises a solvent.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the second zeolite material obtained in (2) has a CHA-type framework structure.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the second zeolite material obtained in (2) has an AEI-type framework structure.

5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the structure directing agent comprises a tetraalkylammonium cation R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 N+-containing compound,
wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently from one another stand for alkyl, and
wherein R 3 and R 4 form a common alkyl chain.

6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the structure directing agent comprises a quaternary phosphonium cation R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 P + -containing compound,
wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are independently from one another optionally substituted and/or optionally branched (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl.

7. The process of claim 1 , wherein X is selected from the group consisting of Al, B, In, Ga, and mixtures of two or more thereof.

8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the heating in (2) is conducted under autogenous pressure.

9. The process of claim 1 , further comprising
(3) calcining the second zeolite material obtained in (2).

10. The process of claim 1 , further comprising
(4) subjecting the second zeolite material obtained in (2) to an ion-exchange procedure, optionally after calcining the second zeolite material.

11. A zeolite material, obtainable and/or obtained by the process of claim 1 .

12. The zeolite material of claim 11 , wherein the zeolite material has a CHA-type framework structure.

13. The zeolite material of claim 11 , wherein the zeolite material has an AEI-type framework structure.

14. A process of producing a molecular sieve, an adsorbent, a catalyst and/or a catalyst support, the process comprising obtaining the zeolite material of claim 11 .
