Abstract

A surface-inactive shape selective metallosilicate catalyst, useful for the conversion of lower molecular weight olefins to liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline, distillate, and high viscosity lube oils, is prepared by forming a silica shell on a medium pore metallosilicate core by crystallizing silica in the presence of fluoride ion onto the surface of the core. A novel catalyst composition is provided comprising an inner core portion and an outer portion disposed as a porous shell around the inner portion, wherein the inner portion consists essentially of metallosilicate zeolite having a medium pore structure, such as ZSM-5 or ZSM-23, and the outer portion comprising a fluoride-containing crystalline shell consisting essentially of silica substantially free of acid sites and having substantially the same crystalline structure as the inner core portion.
