Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to processes using a new crystalline molecular sieve designated SSZ-96, which is synthesized using a 1-butyl-1-methyl-octahydroindolium cation as a structure directing agent.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A process for converting hydrocarbons comprising contacting a hydrocarbonaceous feed at hydrocarbon converting conditions with a catalyst comprising a molecular sieve having a mole ratio of at least 10 of (1) at least one oxide of at least one tetravalent element to (2) one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of trivalent elements, pentavalent elements, and mixtures thereof, and having, in its calcined form, an X-ray diffraction pattern substantially as shown in the following Table:

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the molecular sieve has a mole ratio of at least 10 of (1) silicon oxide to (2) and oxide selected from boron oxide, aluminum oxide, gallium oxide, indium oxide, and mixtures thereof.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the molecular sieve has a composition, as-synthesized and in its anhydrous form, in terms of mole ratios, as follows:

TO 2 /X 2 O n
≧10

Q/TO 2
0.05 to 0.5

M/TO 2
0.01 to 0.6

wherein:
(1) T is selected from the group consisting of tetravalent elements from Groups 4-14 of the Periodic Table, and mixtures thereof;
(2) X is selected from the group consisting of trivalent and pentavalent elements from Groups 3-13 of the Periodic Table, and mixtures thereof;
(3) n equals the valence state of X;
(4) Q is a 1-butyl-1-methyl-octahydroindolium cation; and
(5) M is selected from the group consisting of elements from Groups 1 and 2 of the Periodic Table.

4. The process of claim 3 , wherein T is selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, and mixtures thereof.

5. The process of claim 4 , wherein T is Si.

6. The process of claim 3 , wherein X is selected from the group consisting of B, Al, Ga, In, and mixtures thereof.

7. The process of claim 3 , wherein T is Si and X is Al.

8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the process is a process selected from the group consisting of hydrocracking, dewaxing, catalytic cracking, aromatics formation, isomerization, alkylation and transalkylation, conversion of paraffins to aromatics, isomerization of olefins, xylene isomerization, oligomerization, condensation of alcohols, methane upgrading and polymerization of 1-olefins.

9. The process of claim 8 , wherein the process is a dewaxing process comprising contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock under dewaxing conditions.

10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the process is a process for producing a C 20+ lube oil from a C 20+ olefin feed comprising isomerizing the olefin feed under isomerization conditions over the catalyst.
