Preparation of High-performance Cu-SAPO-34 Catalysts without Removal of Templating Agents

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...
