Effect of SAPO-34 molecular sieve morphology on methanol to olefins performance

The Synthesis of SAPO-34 at Different Crystallization Temperature and its Catalytic Performance for Methanol to Olefins Reaction

Methanol to olefins: activity and stability of nanosized SAPO-34 molecular sieves and control of selectivity by silicon distribution.

Nano-SAPO-34 molecular sieves synthesized in a microwave environment with 20 nm crystal size showed a longer lifetime than SAPO-34 prepared by the conventional hydrothermal method in the reaction of methanol to olefins. It has been found that silicon distribution strongly affects the lifetime and selectivity. Thus, silicon at the border of the silicon islands gives a higher lifetime and lower C...

Effect of Feedstock and Catalyst Impurities on the Methanol‐to‐Olefin Reaction over H‐SAPO‐34

Operando UV/Vis spectroscopy with on-line mass spectrometry was used to study the effect of different types of impurities on the hydrocarbon pool species and the activity of H-SAPO-34 as a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) catalyst. Successive reaction cycles with different purity feedstocks were studied, with an intermittent regeneration step. The combined study of two distinct impurity types (i.e., f...

Kinetic Modelling of Methanol to Propylene Process on Cerium-hierarchical SAPO-34 Catalyst

In this paper, conventional SAPO-34 and Cerium Hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolites are synthesized using a hydrothermal method for methanol-to-propylene (MTP) reaction. The Ce-H-SAPO-34 catalyst shows a slightly larger crystal size, bimodal pore size distribution (microporous and mesoporous) and lower surface acidity compared to conventional SAPO-34 catalysts. According to these physicochemical prope...

Application of Zeotype SAPO-34 Molecular Sieve as a Selective Adsorbent for Separation of Ethylene from Ethane

The process of ethylene production from ethane dehydrogenation is one of the interesting processes in the field of conversion the petroleum light gases to the valuable products. In this process, the outlet gaseous product is a combination of ethylene, ethane and hydrogen. Effective separation techniques are required for separation of ethylene from unreacted ethane. Here a new adsorbent approach...
