A method including subjecting an ultra-stable Y-type zeolite having a low silica-to-alumina molar ratio (SAR), such as in a range of 3 to 6, to acid treatment and heteroatom incorporation contemporaneously to give a framework-modified ultra-stable Y-type zeolite.

Methods for modifying a ZSM-5 zeolite by contacting the zeolite with an alkaline solution prior to combining with a binder material to produce a modified ZSM-5 catalyst extrudate that has substantially longer catalyst life, relative to an untreated ZSM-5 catalyst, for converting light olefins to products that may be used as a liquid transportation fuel blend stock. The alkaline solution is optionally sodium hydroxide. The binder is optionally alumina, bentonite or silica.

Methods for interconverting olefins in an olefin-rich hydrocarbon stream include contacting the olefin-rich hydrocarbon stream with a catalyst system in an olefin interconversion unit to produce an interconverted effluent comprising ethylene and propylene. The contacting may be conducted at a reaction temperature from 450° C. to 750° C., a reaction pressure from 1 bar to 5 bar, and a residence time from 0.5 seconds to 1000 seconds. The catalyst system includes a framework-substituted beta zeolite. The framework-substituted beta zeolite has a *BEA aluminosilicate framework that has been modified by substituting a portion of framework aluminum atoms of the *BEA aluminosilicate framework with beta-zeolite Al-substitution atoms independently selected from the group consisting of titanium atoms, zirconium atoms, hafnium atoms, and combinations thereof.

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.

This invention belongs to the technical field of green preparation of environmentally friendly catalysts, and discloses a preparation method and application of mesoporous FeCu—ZSM-5 molecular sieve, in particular to a method for synthesizing mesoporous FeCu—ZSM-5 molecular sieve by one-pot method and the application in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration reaction. This invention firstly proposes to combine the two calcinations after demolding and ion exchange into one, that is, the original powder is directly calcined to prepare a FeCu—ZSM-5 molecular sieve. The molecular sieve has several advantages such as window with wide temperature window, low cost, good hydrothermal stability and high SCR denitrification activity. Besides, the synthesis process does not use a (large) pore template, nor does it use a post-treatment method to construct the mesopores. Therefore, the method of the invention not only has the advantages of simple process, simple operation, but also good economic and environmental benefits.
