  • Patent number: 10493440
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processing for preparing crystalline pure-silica and heteroatom-substituted LTA frameworks in fluoride media using a simple organic structure-directing agent (OSDA), having a structure of Formula (I): where substituents R1 to R9 are defined herein. Aluminosilicate LTA is an active catalyst for the methanol to olefins reaction with higher product selectivities to butenes as well as C5 and C6 products than the commercialized catalysts. Titanosilicate LTA is an active catalyst for the epoxidation of allyl alcohol using aqueous H2O2.
