Diversification of RTH-type zeolite and its catalytic application

Abstract

The RTH-type zeolite (see picture) has an attractive pore structure, but its compositional variation is limited. Now, metallosilicates with the RTH-topology can be synthesized by two routes, one of which does not use structure-directing agents. Thus prepared Al-containing RTH-type zeolites exhibited a remarkable catalytic performance for the methanol-to-olefins reaction, producing propene with high selectivity. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
