Abstract
Selective and controlled dealumination of an aluminosilicate zeolite is achieved by filling the pore system of the zeolite with a foreign material, for example coke, removing part of the foreign material from the outer portion of the zeolite, for example by heating in a gas stream comprising oxygen, dealuminating the outer portion, and then removing the remainder of the foreign material. Use of such a partially dealuminated zeolite as catalyst in a toluene disproportionation reaction leads to greater selectivity to paraxylene.
