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

Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons Product Distribution over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 Catalysts: The applicability of Thermodynamic Equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory Distribution

The product distribution of methanol to hydrocarbons conversion over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 catalysts was studied using thermodynamic equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distributions. The equilibrium compositions were calculated using constrained Gibbs free energy minimization. The effect of catalyst type was considered by setting upper limits to product carbon number due to sh...

Ultrasonic and Microwave Pretreatment for Hydrothermal Synthesis of Nanosized SAPO-34 and Their Catalytic Performance in MTO Reaction (RESEARCH NOTE)

In order to enhance the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 catalyst for the reaction of methanol to olefins (MTO), ultrasonic and microwave-assisted aging method were employed in static hydrothermal method to synthesize nano-sized SAPO-34. The effects of the application of this method on the chemical composition, morphology, surface area and total acidity of SAPO-34 were characterized by XRD, FE-...

Synthesis of Nanostructured MnNiAPSO-34 Catalyst: Catalytic Properties and Performance

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...

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...
