SAPO-34 and the isomorphously substituted MeAPSO-34 (Me = Co, Mn, Cr) molecular sieves have been synthesized. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) profiles and the reaction rates of methanol dehydration have been measured on these samples in comparison with H-ZSM-5. The acidity strength of samples has been determined qualitatively from the temperatures of dimethyl ether desorption peaks, and the following sequence has been obtained: H-ZSM-5 > MnAPSO-34 > CoAPSO-34 > CrAPSO-34 > SAPO-34. The following sequence of catalytic acitivty has been observed: H-ZSM-5 [much gt] SPAO-34 > CrAPSO-34 > CoAPSO-34 > MnAPSO-34. The selectivities for the formation of low olefines have been observed to decrease rapidly with time on stream for all catalysts in the SAPO-34 and MeAPSO-34 series as a consequence of coking. The highest selectivity to ethane production among these catalysts has been found for MnAPSO-34.
