Positive Role of Synthesis Method and Hard Template on the Catalytic Performance of SAPO-34 in Methanol to Olefin Reaction.

Positive Role of Synthesis Method and Hard Template on the Catalytic Performance of SAPO-34 in Methanol to Olefin Reaction. Comb Chem High Throughput Screen. 2020 Jul 19;: Authors: Rimaz S, Katal R Abstract In the present study, SAPO-34 particles were synthesized using hydrothermal (HT) and dry gel (DG) conversion methods in the presence of diethyl amine (DEA) as an organic structure directing agent (SDA). Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were used as hard template in the synthesis procedure to introduce transport pores into the structures of the synthesized samples. The synthesized samples were characterized with different methods to reveal effects of synthesis method and using hard template on their structure and catalytic performance in methanol to olefin reaction (MTO). DG conversion method results in smaller particle size in comparison with hydrothermal method, resulting in enhancing catalytic performance. On the other side, using CNT in the synthesis procedure with DG method results in more reduction in particle size and formation of hierarchical structure which drastically improves catalytic performance.
