Ionothermal Synthesis of Triclinic SAPO-34 Zeolites

Synthesis of SAPO-34 catalysts via controlled crystal growth

Introduction SAPO-34 is a silicoaluminophosphate zeolite with 8-membered ring windows (~0.38nm) displaying chabazite structure. SAPO-34 is an efficient catalyst showing improved catalytic performance in reactions such as methanol conversion to olefins [1], oxidative dehydrogenation of propane [2], conversion of light alkenes [3]. Its catalytic properties are mainly attributed to its mild acidit...

Optimizing the crystallinity and acidity of H-SAPO-34 by fluoride for synthesizing Cu/SAPO-34 NH3-SCR catalyst.

A series of H-SAPO-34 zeolites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in fluoride media. The as-synthesized H-SAPO-34 zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 physisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The results showed that a certain concentration of F(-) anions p...

Organosilane surfactant-directed synthesis of hierarchical porous SAPO-34 catalysts with excellent MTO performance.

Using an organosilane surfactant as the mesopore director, hierarchical porous silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-34 is obtained as an assembly of nanocrystallites intergrown into cubic micrometer-sized crystals, which show excellent performance in MTO reactions with a remarkably prolonged catalyst lifetime and enhanced selectivity of ethylene and propylene compared to the conventional microporous SAP...

Effect of Synthesis Parameters on Phase Purity, Crystallinity and Particle Size of SAPO-34

An account is presented on investigation of the effects of synthesis parameters, i.e., reaction sources, silica to alumina ratio, acid molar ratio and crystallization conditions on the crystallinity, morphology and particle size of SAPO-34. The synthesis conditions were designed to produce small particles with narrow size range. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD and SE...
