Abstract

Two kinds of crystalline microporous metal aluminophosphate molecular sieves, magnesium cobalt aluminophosphate (MgCoAPO-5) and manganese cobalt aluminophosphate (MnCoAPO-5), were synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization method in order to improve the surface acidity and catalytic activity of AlPO₄-5. The results of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra and chemical compositions of MgCoAPO-5 and MnCoAPO-5 indicate that Mg-Co or Mn-Co enter the framework of AlPO₄-5 molecular sieve without disrupting the microporous framework. However, the results of catalytic studies show that MgCoAPO-5 and MnCoAPO-5 possess much higher surface acidity and catalytic activity than the unmodified AlPO₄-5.
