The subject invention is a novel UZM-63 material which comprises globular aggregates of crystallites having a DDR framework type with a mesopore volume of at least 0.025 cc/g, the nanocrystals having an average diameter of less than 60 nm. The novel UZM-63 material is useful for hydrocarbon conversion processes as well as separation applications, particularly the separation of olefins from paraffins.

A molecular sieve material, EMM-17, has in its as-calcined form, a total surface area of greater than 550 m.sup.2/g and/or an external surface area of greater than about 100 m.sup.2/g as measured by the BET Method, and a specific X-ray diffraction pattern.

A process is presented for the removal of contaminants like sulfur compounds from hydrocarbons. The sulfur compounds are removed from hydrocarbons that may be a feed to cracking units. A feed stream is treated with a clinoptilolite or a barium exchanged zeolite adsorbent to effectively remove carbon disulfides from the feed hydrocarbon. The adsorbent may be regenerated by a hydrogen stream, a hydrocarbon stream or a mixture thereof.

Provided herein are methods and systems of making a high quality isoparaffinic base stock which include contacting an adsorbent material with a hydrocarbon feedstock and a solvent and separating at least some of the one or more high VI components from the hydrocarbon feedstock to produce a first fraction base stock having a first fraction base stock viscosity index. The adsorbent material is desorbed with a second solvent to produce a second fraction base stock having a second fraction base stock viscosity index. In these methods, the first fraction base stock viscosity index is less than the hydrocarbon feedstock viscosity index and the second fraction base stock viscosity index is greater than the hydrocarbon feedstock viscosity index.
