Chabazite-type molecular sieve, its synthesis and its use in the conversion of oxygenates to olefins

摘要

The synthesis of a crystalline material, in particular a high silica zeolite, having a chabazite-type framework is aided by the addition to the synthesis mixture of seeds of an AEI framework-type material. The chabazite-type product has a relatively small crystal size and exhibits activity and selectivity in the conversion of methanol to lower olefins, especially ethylene and propylene.
