Solvent-Free Synthesis of SAPO-34 Zeolite with Tunable SiO<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Ratios for Efficient Catalytic Cracking of 1-Butene

Solvent-free synthesis methodology is a promising technique for the green and sustainable preparation of zeolites materials. In this work, a solvent-free route was developed to synthesize SAPO-34 zeolite. The characterization results indicated that the crystal size, texture properties, acidity and S...

description Solvent-free synthesis methodology is a promising technique for the green and sustainable preparation of zeolites materials. In this work, a solvent-free route was developed to synthesize SAPO-34 zeolite. The characterization results indicated that the crystal size, texture properties, acidity and Si coordination environment of the resulting SAPO-34 were tuned by adjusting the SiO<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> molar ratio in the starting mixture. Moreover, the acidity of SAPO-34 zeolite was found to depend on the Si coordination environment, which was consistent with that of SAPO-34 zeolite synthesized by the hydrothermal method. At an SiO<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ratio of 0.6, the SP-0.6 sample exhibited the highest conversion of 1-butene (82.8%) and a satisfactory yield of light olefins (51.6%) in the catalytic cracking of 1-butene, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of the large SBET (425 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and the abundant acid sites (1.82 mmol/g).
