Abstract
The invention is broadly drawn to a process to introduce mesoporosity in faujasite zeolites with Si/Al<5 and unit cell sizes below 24.58 Angstrom by an inventive sequence of acid and base treatments, yielding superior physico-chemical and catalytic properties compared to the materials prepared according to the teachings known in the state of the art. Part of the invention relates to the acid step which is executed in the presence of a salt of which the anion is able to form multi-ligand complexes with aluminum, and of which a specific amount of cations are protonic (ca. 90% to 20% of the total cations with −3<pK<6). The superior properties may be the combination of an enhanced mesoporosity with a higher Brønsted acidity, a higher microporosity, a higher mesoporosity, a higher crystallinity, and/or combinations hereof.
