Abstract: Microporous crystalline silico-alumino-phosphate (SAPO) compositions, catalytic materials comprising the composition, and use of these for production of olefins from methanol. The catalysts contain silico-alumino-phosphate materials with AEI/CHA-mixed phase composition. The catalysts have prolonged life compared to those belonging to the prior art.

Abstract: A process is provided for the froth flotation of oxide and salt type minerals utilizing as the collector a combination of a monoester of a dicarboxylic acid of the general formula ##STR1## in which R' is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with 7-21 carbon atoms, R" is a hydrocarbon radical with 2-6 carbon atoms and A is an alkylene oxide group derived from an alkylene oxide with 2-4 carbon atoms; and a monocarboxylic acid having the general formulaR'"COOH IIwherein R'" is a hydrocarbon group with 5-23 carbon atoms, the acid as being in an amount to increase the yield and/or the selectivity of the monoester in the flotation of alkaline earth metal-containing oxide and salt type minerals, such as apatite, fluorspar, calcite, baryte, scheelite, dolomite, and magnesite.
