SAPO-44 and the isomorphously substituted MeAPSO-44 (Me = Co, Mn, Cr, Zn, Mg) molecular sieves have been synthesized. The temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectra and the reaction rates of methanol dehydration have been measured on these samples in comparison with AlPO[sub 4]-5 and AlPO[sub 4]-14 samples. The acidity strength of samples has been determined qualitatively from the temperatures of dimethylether desorption peaks, and the following sequence has been obtained: MnAPSO-44 > CoAPSO-44 [approx] ZnAPSO-44 > MgAPSO-44 > CrAPSO-44 > SAPO-44 [much gt] AlPO[sub 4]-5 [approx] AlPO[sub 4]-14. The following sequence of catalytic activity has been observed: AlPO[sub 4]-14 > AlPO[sub 4]-5 [approx] SAPO-44 > CoAPSP-44 > MnAPSP-44. The highest selectivity to ethene production among these catalysts has been found for CoAPSO-44. The selectivities to ethene of SAPO-44 and MeAPSO-44 (Me = Co, Mn, Cr) samples are about three times higher than the selectivities of SAPO-34 and MeAPSO-34 (Me = Co, Mn, Cr) samples. The selectivities of transition-metal-substituted MeAPSO-44 samples follow the Irving-Williams transition metal-ligand complex stability order. 20 refs., 8 figs., 7 tabs.
