Unique Mesoporous Silicoaluminophosphate Assembled from Faujasite-type SAPO-37 Precursor: A Potential Catalyst for Isomerization

摘要

Unique mesoporous silicoaluminophosphate (MESO-SAPO-37) with uniform pores (3 nm) was synthesized for the first time by using a faujasite-type microporous SAPO-37 precursor. MESO-SAPO-37 contains hierarchical mesopores with a micro-porous secondary building unit. It possesses strong acidity and shows high catalytic activity for the conversion of 1-octene, with the exclusive formation of isomerized products (84%).
