MAPO-18 (M Mg, Zn, Co): a new family of catalysts for the conversion of methanol to light olefins
Abstract
Incorporation of divalent metals Mg, Zn and Co into the structure of AlPO4-18 yields solid acid catalysts that generate 65 to 70% light olefin (ethene and propene) products with 100% conversion of methanol in the range 350 to 400 °C
