Abstract
A method of forming AEI-type zeolites in a hydrothermal synthesis without the use of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and in the presence of an FAU zeolite NaY with SAR ≤5, a Y zeolite with a SAR ≥5, or a combination thereof. A gel composition formed upon using this method includes one or more sources of silica, alumina, organic structure directing agents (OSDA), and alkali metal ions; zeolite seeds; and water. This gel composition is defined by the molar ratios of: SiO/AIO18:1 to 100:1; MO/SiO0.15:1 to 0.30:1; ROH/SiO0.05:1 to 0.13:1; and HO/SiO5:1 to 20:1; wherein M is the alkali metal ion and R is an organic moiety derived from the OSDA. This gel composition, after reacting at a temperature between 135° C. to about 200° C. for 10 hours to 168 hours forms the crystalline AEI-type zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio (SiO:AIO) that is greater than 15:1.
