An effective route to improve the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 in the methanol-to-olefin reaction

摘要

An effective route to improve the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 in the methanol-to-olefin reaction by simple oxalic acid treatment was investigated. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, N-2 adsorption-desorption, XRF, TG, Si-29 MAS NMR and NH3-TPD techniques. The results indicated that the external surface acidity of SAPO-34 was finely tuned by oxalic acid treatment, and the selectivity to C2H4 on SAPO-34 and the catalyst lifetime in the methanol-to-olefin reaction were greatly improved.
