The preparation of zeolite bound zeolite comprising zeolite core crystals
other than MFI structure zeolite which are bound by MFI structure type
zeolite and the use of the zeolite bound by MFI structure type zeolite
prepared by the process as an adsorbent or as a catalyst for hydrocarbon
conversion. The zeolite bound zeolite is produced by including seed
crystals of MFI structure type zeolite into the silica bound aggregate
forming mixture and then converting the silica binder of the aggregate to
the MFI binder crystals. The resulting zeolite bound zeolite has good
strength and integrity.
