Abstract

AbstractIn this work, a new zeolite named as ITQ‐69, has been synthesized, characterized and its application as selective adsorbent for industrially relevant light olefins/paraffins separations has been assessed. This material has been obtained as pure germania as well as silica‐germania zeolites with different Si/Ge ratios using a diquaternary ammonium cation as organic structure directing agent. Its structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐Ray diffraction showing a triclinic unit cell forming a tridirectional small pore channel system (8×8×8R). Also, it has been found that Si preferentially occupies some special T sites of the structure as deduced from Rietveld analysis of the powder X‐ray diffraction patterns. In addition, the new zeolite ITQ‐69 has been found to be stable upon calcination and thus, its adsorption properties were evaluated, showing a promising kinetic selectivity for light olefin separations in the C3 fraction.
