Abstract:
A temperature-programmed reduction method was developed to stabilize SAPO-37 and molybdenum-(oxy)-carbide-loaded SAPO-37 (SAP-37MoCR). The inorganic framework (Faujasite type SAPO-37) was retained for the first time even after treatment at 550 °C and was confirmed through powder XRD and SEM analysis. SAP-37MoCR exhibits strong acidic sites and is a promising catalyst for MTBE synthesis. Furthermore, the catalyst is stable and recyclable.
