Synthesis and Modification of SAPO-34 Nanoparticles by Incorporation of Metal Ions Using Rapid High Temperature Method

Abstract:

Considering studies done on the result of methanol conversion over SAP-34 molecular sieve, it is understood that increase of selectivity is ascribed to the increase of acidity in acid sites which is a result of incorporation of metal in crystal structure and decrease of crystal size. In this study, metal incorporation in the SAPO-34 structure leaded to increase of acid sites concentration but did not affect the acid strength distribution. The catalytic performance of the SAPO-34 nanoparticles in the MTO reaction varied according to their crystallite size. Decreasing particle size results in larger increase of external surface area and shorter diffusion path, both cause reduction in mass and heat transfer resistances in catalysis and sorption. In this work a rapid high-temperature synthesis method was developed to synthesis uniform nanoparticles of SAPO 34 zeolite with high crystallinity and metal was successfully incorporated in crystal structure. In order to investigate the effects of temperature and synthesis time on purity and crystallinity of the synthesized samples, the crystallization temperature was increased from 350 to 550 K while the synthesis time was decreased from 24 h to 45 min. The samples were characterized by XRD, BET and SEM analysis techniques. It was found that by using high temperature and short synthesis time the particle size decreased and the metal was properly incorporated into the crystal structure.
