Abstract

SAPO-56 crystals were synthesized via microwave heating. The resultant crystals displayed high catalytic activity in the synthesis of chloropropene carbonate from CO₂ and epichlorohydrin. The enhanced catalytic activity of SAPO-56 crystals was related to their high CO₂ adsorption capacity, small crystal size, and the presence of acid sites.
