Abstract

The synthesis of the microporous SAPO-34 molecular sieve goes from a combination of three templates: triethylamine, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, and morpholine under hydrothermal conditions. Two aluminum sources, namely aluminum hydroxide, and aluminum isopropoxide, were used exclusively to synthesize SAPO-34 zeolites. The effects of aluminum sources on the crystallization and physicochemical properties of SAPO-34 were studied thoroughly. The synthesized samples were characterized by using different characterization methods, including XRD, FE-SEM, N2 isotherm, EDS, and NH3-TPD. The results illustrate that the various sources of aluminum used for the synthesis of SAPO-34 materials extremely affect the crystallinity, morphology, and density of acid sites. Besides, the influence of aluminum sources on the performance of NH3-SCR technology was studied with Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts in a fixed-bed flow reactor. The two Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts promoted different NO and NH3 conversions between 200–600°C though they share similar Cu content, which was loaded by the ion-exchange method in aqueous solution. In addition, the different Cu species in the two catalyst samples are surveyed by H2-TPR, while the EPR method is also used to assess the coordination of the copper element in the two catalysts.
