Some of the key properties that make SAPO-34 effective in catalysis include:
Microporous Structure: The chabazite framework offers small pore sizes (around 3.8 Å), which are ideal for selective catalysis. Acidity: The material possesses moderate acidity, which is crucial for various catalytic transformations. Thermal Stability: SAPO-34 can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for industrial applications. Hydrothermal Stability: This property ensures that the material maintains its structural integrity under humid conditions.
