Zeolites have found tremendous applications in the chemical industry. However, dynamic nature of their active sites under flow adsorbate molecules for adsorption and catalysis is unclear, especially operando conditions, which could be different from as-synthesized structures. In present study, we report a structural transformation adsorptive SAPO-34 zeolite by using acetone as probe molecule va...

shape-selective methylation of naphthalene (naph) over sapo-11 zeolite was carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. some zeolites, such as h-beta (hβ), husy and zsm-5 were also evaluated for comparison with sapo-11 zeolite.the results showed that sapo-11 exhibited higher stability, higher selectivity of  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-dmn), and higher 2,6-/2,7-dmn ratio...

Methanol is a key reaction intermediate formed on MnO x that synergistically reacts with SAPO-34 to produce light olefins.

Silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO-34) molecular sieve doped with transition metals, Mn and Ni, with different molar ratios (Mn/Ni=0.33, 3) were investigated for their activity, selectivity and lifetime in biomethanol to olefins reaction. MnNiAPSO-34 nanostructured catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method and addition of metals was carried out by isomorphous substitution into the crystalline f...

Quantum chemistry calculations were done, using the ONIOM2 methodology at two different levels of calculation, B3LYP for the high level and UFF for the low level. These calculations were performed on Au3/SAPO-11, Au4/SAPO-11, CO-Au3/SAPO-11 and CO-Au4/SAPO-11 aggregates to analyze the geometries of small clusters of Au3 and Au4 on SAPO-11 support. Au3 cluster present a triangle structure in Au3...

Hydrocarbon species trapped in the catalyst that work as the reaction center and govern the conversion and product selectivity of chloromethane transformation were revealed by a very efficient home-made ultra-short contact time pulse reaction system over pre-coked SAPO-34.

This communication reports the discovery of several small-pore Cu-zeolites and zeotypes that produce methanol from methane and water vapor, and produce more methanol per copper atom than Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-mordenite. The new materials include Cu-SSZ-13, Cu-SSZ-16, Cu-SSZ-39, and Cu-SAPO-34.
