Abstract

Silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO) with different framework structures and amounts of Bronsted acid sites, that is, SAPO-34, SAPO-41, SAPO-11, and SAPO-46, were synthesized and studied as catalysts for the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) conversion. Besides the well-known SAPO-34 catalyst, also SAPO-41 exhibits a good MTO performance with a methanol conversion of 100% and a selectivity to light olefins of about 70% at the reaction temperature of 723 K, which maintains up to a time-on-stream of 10 h. The Bronsted acid sites of silicoaluminophosphate catalysts employed in this study were characterized by means of 1H MAS NMR spectroscopy. These studies were performed with unloaded samples for studying the type and number of OH groups and after loading of ammonia for determining the amount of accessible Bronsted acid sites. The occluded organic species formed on the catalysts during the MTO reaction were analyzed by in situ UV/vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and gas chromatogra...
