A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964875B2) discloses a method for synthesizing an aluminosilicate molecular sieve of *MRE framework. The method involves preparing a reaction mixture containing a silicon atom source, an aluminum atom source, an organic structure directing agent, an alkali metal source, a source of hydroxide ions, and water. The reaction mixture is then subjected to crystallization conditions to form crystals of the aluminosilicate molecular sieve of *MRE framework. Importantly, the source of both the silicon atom and the aluminum atom is a Y-zeolite, highlighting a specific aspect of the synthesis process.

Furthermore, the patent outlines specific details regarding the composition of the reaction mixture in terms of molar ratios, as well as the crystallization conditions required for the synthesis process. The temperature for the crystallization conditions ranges from 100°C to 200°C, with a crystallization time varying from about 1 day to 21 days. These parameters are crucial for achieving the desired outcome of forming crystals of the aluminosilicate molecular sieve of *MRE framework. Overall, the method described in the patent provides a detailed and systematic approach to synthesizing this specific type of molecular sieve, offering potential applications in various industrial processes where such materials are utilized.
