Abstract
Abstract A zeolite containing catalyst which is associated with finely dispersed metal is formed by decomposing a compound, whose anion contains a metal and a (CN) radical, which has been deposited on the host catalyst.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A process for preparing a zeolite containing uniformly distributed, finely divided metal particles which comprises treating a Y-type zeolite having a metal cation in exchangeable position with an aqueous solution containing a complex cyanide salt dissolved therein, the anion of the complex salt being capable of forming a water-insoluble salt with the exchangeable cation of the zeolite, exchanging the cation of the complex salt with the exchangeable cation of the zeolite and reacting the anion of the complex salt with the exchanged cation of the zeolite, separating the treated zeolite from the solution, drying the zeolite and subjecting the dried zeolite to a reducing gas treatment to decompose the cyanide and to form finely dispersed metal particles in the zeolite of a size below the limits of detection by x-ray radiation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A process for preparing a zeolite containing uniformly distributed, finely divided metal particles which comprises treating a Y-type zeolite having a metal cation in exchangeable position with an aqueous solution containing a complex cyanide salt dissolved therein, the anion of the complex salt being capable of forming a water-insoluble salt with the exchangeable cation of the zeolite, exchanging the cation of the complex salt with the exchangeable cation of the zeolite and reacting the anion of the complex salt with the exchanged cation of the zeolite, separating the treated zeolite from the solution, drying the zeolite and subjecting the dried zeolite to a reducing gas treatment to decompose the cyanide and to form finely dispersed metal particles in the zeolite of a size below the limits of detection by x-ray radiation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the zeolite contains after the treatment with the complex cyanide salt at least one of the metals selected from the group consisting of cobalt, iron, copper, manganese, nickel, tin, zinc, a rare earth metal of the Lanthanide series.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the anion of the complex cyanide salt is ferro or ferricyanide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the exchangeable cation of the zeolite is selected from the group consisting of transition metal and rare earth metals or mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the exchangeable cation of the zeolite and the cation of the complex cyanide salt are the same.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the exchangeable cation of the zeolite and the cation of the complex cyanide salt are different.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the quantity of dispersed metal particles in the zeolite is in the range from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight, based on the total weight of the volatile-free treated zeolite.
