Abstract

A family of highly charged crystalline microporous metallophosphate molecular sieves designated PST-19 has been synthesized. These high charge density metallophosphates are represented by the empirical formula of:

R p+ r A + m M 2+ x E y PO z

where A is an alkali metal such as potassium, R is an organoammonium cation such as tetraethylammonium, M is a divalent metal such as zinc and E is a trivalent framework element such as aluminum or gallium. The molecular sieves of the invention as synthesized exhibit an x-ray diffraction pattern as shown in Table A and are modified by a process selected from calcination, ammonia calcination or ion-exchange. The PST-19 family of materials are among the first MeAPO-type molecular sieves to be stabilized by combinations of alkali and quaternary ammonium cations, enabling unique compositions. The PST-19 family of molecular sieves has the SBS topology and catalytic properties for carrying out various hydrocarbon conversion processes and separation properties for separating at least one component.

R p+ r A + m M 2+ x E y PO z
where R is at least one quaternary ammonium cation selected from the group consisting of tetraethylammonium (TEA + ), triethylpropylammonium (TEPA + ), diethylmethylpropylammonium (DEMPA + ), dimethylethylpropylammonium (DMEPA + ), dimethyldipropylammonium (DMDPA + ), methyltriethylammonium (MTEA + ), ethyltrimethylammonium (ETMA + ), diethyldimethylammonium (DEDMA + ), choline, hexamethonium (HM 2+ ), propyltrimethylammonium (PTMA + ), butyltrimethylammonium (BTMA + ), tetramethylammonium (TMA + ), tetrapropylammonium (TPA + ) and mixtures thereof, “r” is the mole ratio of R to P and has a value of about 0.04 to about 1.0, “p” is the weighted average valence of R and varies from 1 to 2, A is an alkali metal selected from the group consisting of Li + , Na + , K + , Rb + and Cs + and mixtures thereof, “m” is the mole ratio of A to P and varies from 0.1 to 1.0, M is a divalent element selected from the group of Zn, Mg, Co, Mn and mixtures thereof, “x” is the mole ratio of M to P and varies from 0.2 to about 0.9, E is a trivalent element selected from the group consisting of aluminum and gallium and mixtures thereof, “y” is the mole ratio of E to P and varies from 0.1 to about 0.8 and “z” is the mole ratio of 0 to P and has a value determined by the equation:
z =( m+p·r+ 2· x+ 3· y+ 5)/2

and is characterized in that it has the x-ray diffraction pattern having at least the d-spacings and intensities set forth in Table A:
