Nanocrystalline SSZ-39 zeolite as an efficient catalyst for the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Apr 26;52(36):6072-5. doi: 10.1039/c5cc09719c.

Abstract

The synthesis of nanosized SSZ-39 zeolite has been achieved using a high silica FAU zeolite as the Si and Al source and tetraethylphosphonium (TEP) cations as OSDAs. The obtained SSZ-39 material shows a remarkably high catalyst lifetime compared to conventional SSZ-13 and SSZ-39 materials.
