Abstract

The invention provides an activated silica enriched mazzite having a chemical formula in the anhydrous state, expressed in molar ratios of: a M.sub.2/n O; Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ; b SiO.sub.2 ; with a variation from 0 to 0.5, M being an alkaline cation of valency n and b being greater than 7, and which has an acid strength corresponding to an amount of heat measured by ammonia absorption microcalorimetry, greater than 190 KJ/mol, and a pore volume, measured by cyclohexane adsorption, greater than 0.09 ml/g. The activated mazzites are useful in the conversion of hydrocarbons, in particular, the isomerization of C.sub.4 to C.sub.8 paraffin, and as molecular sieves in processes for the separation of hydrocarbons.
