A one-pot direct synthesis of Cu-SAPO-34 has been achieved that allows more than 90% yield in the material synthesis. By this method it is easy to control the Cu-loading in the Cu-SAPO-34. It is presented that a maximum in hydrothermal stability with very high activity for NOx SCR with NH 3 is obtained for an optimum Cu loading. KeywordsOne-pot synthesis, silicoaluminophosphate, SAPO-34, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), nitrogen oxides (NOx) Highlights-Rational direct synthesis of Cu-SAPO-34 by using the co-directing templates.-Easy control of Cu-loading in Cu-SAPO-34 materials, and very high solid yields.-High activity and stability for SCR of NOx. In fact, the SCR of NOx experiment described by Xiao was performed on the sample with Si/Al ratio of 4.1 under mild conditions (low space velocity), and the stability of the synthesized samples under hydrothermal treatments was not studied. In addition to SSZ-13, the chabazite molecular sieve can be synthesized as silicoaluminophosphate form, . Cu-exchanged SAPO-34 has also been shown as a very stable and active material for SCR of NOx [14]. In the last years, some groups have attempted the direct preparation of Cu-SAPO-34 in order to achieve an inexpensive and more efficient synthetic route for this metal-substituted material [15].In those cases morfoline and copper oxide were used as organic structure directing with the tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA, 99%wt, Aldrich). This mixture was stirred for 2 hours until complete dissolution. Secondly, distilled water and phosphoric acid (85% wt, Aldrich) were added and stirred during 5 minutes. Third, alumina (75%wt, Condea) 7 and silica (Ludox AS40 40%wt, Aldrich) sources were introduced in the gel mixture.Finally, diethylamine (DEA, 99%wt, Aldrich) and SAPO-34 seeds (5%wt of expected final yield), if required, were added in the gel, and the mixture was stirred during 30 minutes. The resulting gel was transferred to an autoclave with a Teflon liner, and heated at 150ºC under static conditions during the required time (see experimental conditions for each sample in Table 1, Table 3, or Table 4). Crystalline products were filtered and washed with abundant water, and dried at 100ºC overnight. The samples were calcined at 550ºC in air to properly remove the occluded organic species. washed with distilled water, and dried at 100ºC overnight. The sample was calcined at 550ºC in air to remove the occluded organic species.In order to perform the Cu ion exchange on this SAPO-34 material, the calcined sample was first washed with NaNO 3 (0.04M), and afterwards, the sample was exchanged at room temperature with a Cu(CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 solution (solid/liquid ratio of 10g/L). Finally, the sample was filtered and washed with distilled water, and calcined at 550ºC for 4 h. 2.2.-CharacterizationX-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on a multisample Philips X'Pert diffractometer equipped with a graphite monochromator, operating at 40 kV and 45 mA, and usig Cu K α radiation (λ = 0,1542 nm).The chemical analyses were car...
The synthesis of crystalline microporous materials containing large pores is in high demand by industry, especially for the use of these materials as catalysts in chemical processes involving bulky molecules. An extra-large-pore silicoaluminophosphate with 16-ring openings, ITQ-51, has been synthesized by the use of bulky aromatic proton sponges as organic structure-directing agents. Proton sponges show exceptional properties for directing extra-large zeolites because of their unusually high basicity combined with their large size and rigidity. This extra-large-pore material is stable after calcination, being one of the very few examples of hydrothermally stable molecular sieves containing extra-large pores. The structure of ITQ-51 was solved from submicrometer-sized crystals using the rotation electron diffraction method. Finally, several hypothetical zeolites related to ITQ-51 have been proposed.aluminophosphate | extra-large microporous materials | zeolite synthesis
