Abstract
SAPO-18 molecular sieve was synthesized by a dry gel conversion (DGC) and hydrothermal (HT) synthesis methods using methyltriethoxysilane as the only Si source (DGC-Me-SAPO-18 and HT-Me-SAPO-18). Their physicochemical and catalytic properties on dimethylether-to-olefin (DTO) reaction were compared with those of conventional SAPO-18 molecular sieves synthesized by a hydrothermal synthesis method (HT-SAPO-18). An NH3-TPD measurement revealed that the desorption peak position of Brønsted acid of the Me-SAPO-18 samples moved to lower temperature, indicating that Brønsted acidic strength of the Me-SAPO-18 samples was lower than that of the HT-SAPO-18 samples. The DME conversions and yields of light olefins over DGC-Me-SAPO-18 decreased at a slower rate than those of HT-SAPO-18. The decreased acidic strength and flake-like morphology of DGC-Me-SAPO-18 could retard the coke formation, leading to the prolonged catalytic lifetime.
