Separation and conversion processes using metal aluminophosphates

摘要

Novel class of crystalline microporous metal aluminophosphate compositions containing as lattice constituents in addition to AlO2 and PO2 structural units, one or a mixture of two or more of the metals Mg, Mn, Co and Zn in tetrahedral coordination with oxygen atoms. These compositions are prepared hydrothermally using organic templating agents and are suitably employed as catalysts or adsorbents.
