Abstract

Molecular sieve catalyst compositions having decreased catalytic activity as a result of accumulating more than 2 weight-% carbonaceous coke deposits are restored essentially to their pre-coked activity by heating an essentially homogeneous mixture of particles thereof with particles of an inert refractory material in the weight ratio of from 1:2 to 1:10 in air at a temperature of from 500.degree. C. to 725.degree. C. for a period of time sufficient to decrease the carbonaceous coke to less than two weight percent.
