SILICOALUMINOPHOSPHATE CATALYST FOR CHLOROMETHANE CONVERSION

摘要

Disclosed is a catalyst capable of producing an olefin from an alkyl halide, the catalyst comprising a silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) having a chabazite zeolite structure with the following chemical composition (SixAlyPz)O2, where x, y, and z represent the mole fractions of silicon, aluminum, and phosphorus, respectively, present as tetrahedral oxides, x is 0.01 to 0.30 and the sum of x + y + z is 1, and where the catalyst comprises silicon tetrahedral oxides that are connected with three or less aluminum tetrahedral oxide as shown by 29Si magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy peak(s) with peak(s) maxima between -93 ppm and -115 ppm.
