Abstract
SAPO-5, SAPO-17, SAPO-18 and SAPO-34 were successfully synthesised. The bridging Si-OH-Al groups (Brønsted acid sites) in these SAPOs were observed by means of diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. On the basis of temperature-programmed-desorption (TPD) of ammonia, it is inferred that the strength of the Brønsted acid sites is in the order SAPO-5<SAPO-17<SAPO-18<SAPO-34. SAPO-18 and SAPO-34, which have cages smaller than those of SAPO-5 and SAPO-17, exhibit high activity and selectivity towards light olefins for the conversion of methanol, whereas SAPO-5 has the longest life time among the SAPOs under investigation.
