METHODS OF FORMING ZSM-5 ZEOLITES FROM HALLOYSITE
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334652 titled 'METHODS OF FORMING ZSM-5 ZEOLITES FROM HALLOYSITE
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure relates to methods of forming a ZSM-5 zeolite, the method comprising calcining one or more clay mineral compositions to form metakaolin, wherein the one or more clay mineral compositions may comprise greater than or equal to 10 wt. % halloysite; forming a slurry by combining at least the metakaolin, ZSM-5 zeolite seeds, a basic compound, and a silica source; hydrothermally treating the slurry to form a hydrothermal product; and calcining the hydrothermal product to form a ZSM-5 zeolite. This disclosure also relates processes of cracking a hydrocarbon feed comprising contacting the hydrocarbon feed with steam in the presence of a cracking catalyst comprising the ZSM-5 zeolite in a reactor under reaction conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of the hydrocarbon feed to undergo one or more cracking reactions to produce a cracking effluent comprising light olefins, light aromatic compounds, or both.
