Abstract: 

As a commercial MTO catalyst, SAPO-34 zeolite exhibits excellent  recyclability probably due to its intrinsic good hydrothermal stability.  However, the structural dynamic changes of SAPO-34 catalyst induced by  hydrocarbon pool (HP) species and the water formed during the MTO  conversion as well as its long-term stability after continuous  regenerations are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Herein, the  dynamic changes of SAPO-34 framework during the MTO conversion were  identified by 1D Al-27, P-31 MAS NMR, and 2D P-31-Al-27 HETCOR NMR  spectroscopy. The breakage of T-O-T bonds in SAPO-34 catalyst during  long-term continuous regenerations in the MTO conversion could be  efficiently suppressed by pre-coking. The combination of catalyst  pre-coking and water co-feeding is established to be an efficient  strategy to promote the catalytic efficiency and long-term stability of  SAPO-34 catalysts in the commercial MTO processes, also sheds light on  the development of other high stable zeolite catalyst in the commercial  catalysis. Stability of zeolite catalysts is a highly desirable property  for commercial methanol to olefins conversion but extremely challenging  to achieve. Here, the authors combine the catalyst pre-coking and water  co-feeding to develop an efficient strategy to enhance the long-term  stability of SAPO-34 catalyst.
