SAPOs

Crystalline molecular sieve zeoHtes, and related molecular sieve materials that are not technically zeoHtes, eg, siHcaHte, AlPO s, SAPOs, etc. 

Thirteen stmctures of various compositions, as AlPO SAPO, MeAPO, and MeAPSO, are available from UOP. 

Methanol to Ethylene. Methanol to ethylene economics track the economics of methane to ethylene. Methanol to gasoline has been flilly developed and, during this development, specific catalysts to produce ethylene were discovered. The economics of this process have been discussed, and a catalyst (Ni/SAPO 34) with almost 95% selectivity to ethylene has been claimed (99). Methanol is converted to dimethyl ether, which decomposes to ethylene and water the method of preparation of the catalyst rather than the active ingredient of the catalyst has made the significant improvement in yield (100). By optimizing the catalyst and process conditions, it is claimed that yields of ethylene, propylene, or both are maximized. This is still in the bench-scale stage. 

Ester hydrolysis in basic solution is called saponification, after the Latin word sapo, meaning "soap." As we ll see in Section 27.2, soap is in fact made by boiling animal fat with base to hydrolyze the ester linkages. 

Other materials, closely related to zeoHtes, with zeo-type structures are silico-aluminophosphates (SAPOs) and aluminophosphates (ALPOs) [6]. 

In the case of n-butene isomerization it was demonstrated (Figure 2) that the ideal micro-pore topology led to retardation of the C8 dimer intermediate and that the catalyst based on the ferrierite structure was close to optimal in this respect [1). For selective isodewaxing a one-dimensional pore structure which constrained the skeletal isomerization transition state and thereby minimized multiple branching such as the SAPO-11 structure was found to meet these criteria. Clearly, these are ideal systems in which to apply computational chemistry where the reactant and product molecules are relatively simple and the micro-porous structures are ordered and known in detail.

The family Sapindaceae consists of 140 genera and 1500 species of trees widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. Classic examples of Sapindaceae are the fruit trees Nephelium lappaceum L. and Litchi chinensis Sonn., which provide rambutan and litchi, respectively. Chemically Sapindaceae are well known to abound with saponins and tannins. An example of ornamental Sapindaceae is Koelreuteria paniculata L., or golden rain tree, cultivated in temperate regions. The berries of Sapindus saponaria L., were used as soap by South American Indians, hence the origin of the word Sapindus from sapo and Indus or the soap of the Indies.

In order to illustrate the general applicability of the methodology we have extended our approach to other large zeolite crystals, such as SAPO-34, SAPO-5 and ZSM-5. Our study on the rhombic SAPO-34 crystals reveals a four-pointed star fluorescence pattern at 445 K, which is transformed into a square-shaped feature at 550 K. This is illustrated in Figure 4a. Confocal fluorescence slices, summarized in Figures 4b-d, recorded at different temperatures show the cubical pattern, which proceed from the exterior of the crystal inwards. Both observations are consistent with a model which involves six components of equal tetragonal pyramids as illustrated in Figure 3b. 

In this paper, three zeolitic materials were used silicalite-2, pure silica ZSM-11 with MEL framework, synthesized according to Bibby et.al. [7] zeolite A synthesized via the Chamell hydrothermal method [8] SAPO STA-7 was synthesized according to Wright et. al. [9]... 

The 13C MAS NMR spectrum of CAL-4 is reported in Figure 1. For comparison, the spectra of SAPO-44 synthesized by traditional method with CyHA as SDA and of nBA ALPO-kan are also shown. From this figure, we can conclude that CAL-4 contains both nBA and CyHA occluded in the pores. 

In Ag-SAPO-ll/C2H4 zeolite the EPR at 77 K shows the spectra of Ag° atoms and C2H5 radicals. After annealing at 230 K those species disappeared and then an anisotropic EPR sextet was recorded. Based on DFT calculation the structure of complex was proposed in which two C2H4 ligands adopted eclipsed confirmation on either side of the Ag atom. As a result the overwhelming spin density is localised on ethylene orbitals.

MTO [Methanol to olefins] A catalytic process for converting methanol to olefins, mainly propylenes and butenes. Developed by Mobil Research Development Corporation and first demonstrated in 1985. Another version of this process was developed by UOP and Norsk Hydro and has been ran at a demonstration unit at Porsgrunn, Norway, since June 1995. It is based on fluidized bed technology using a SAPO molecular sieve catalyst. It converts 80 percent of the carbon in the feed to ethylene and propylene.
