Abstract

Low acidity refractory oxide-bound zeolite catalysts, for example, silica-bound ultrastable Y zeolite, possessing physical properties, e.g., crush strength, similar to those of their alumina-bound counterparts are described. Since low acidity refractory oxide-bound catalysts are inherently less active than alumina-bound zeolite catalysts, the former are particularly useful in hydrocarbon conversion processes in which reduced coke make increases catalyst cycle length. Due to their stability in acid environments, the low acidity refractory oxide-bound zeolite extrudate herein can be acid treated without unduly compromising its structural integrity.
