Resumen

[0001] The present invention refers to a microporous crystalline material of zeolitic nature named ITQ-7, to the process of preparation thereof and to the use of ITQ-7 in processes of separation and transformation of organic compounds. In the calcined and anhydrous state, the chemical composition of the material ITQ-7 corresponds to the empirical formula: x(M1/nXO2):yYO2:SiO2 wherein x has a value lower than 0.06; it may be equal to zero; y has a value lower than 0.1; it may be equal to zero; M is H<+> or an inorganic cation of charge +n. X is a chemical element of oxidation state +3 (Al, Ga, B, Cr) and Y is a chemical element with oxidation state +4 (Ti, Ge, V). When x=0 and y=0, the material ITQ-7 may be described as a new polymorphic form of silica with a microporous nature. The zeolitic material of this invention is also characterized by its characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern and its microporous properties. [0002] The process of preparation is characterized in the use of one or several organic additives in a reaction mixture that is crystallized by heating.
