Abstract

A process for converting hydrocarbons comprising the step of contacting said hydrocarbons under conversion conditions with a crystalline molecular sieve having a pore size in the range of from about 2 to about 19 Å, said molecular sieve made by a method comprising the steps of (a) providing a mixture comprising at least one source of ions of tetravalent element (Y), at least one trivalent element hydroxide source (OH⁻), and water, said mixture having a solid-content in the range of from about 15 wt. % to about 50 wt. %. %, preferably of from about 20% to about 30%; and (b) treating said mixture to form the desired crystalline molecular sieve with stirring at crystallization conditions sufficient to obtain a weight hourly throughput from about 0.005 to about 1 hr⁻¹, wherein said crystallization conditions comprise a temperature in the range of from about 200° C. to about 500° C. and a crystallization time less than 100 hr, wherein said crystalline molecular sieve has a zeolite framework type of MFI.
