Methods of producing sapo-56, an afx-containing molecular sieve

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of preparing SAPO-56, (AFX) using a lower alkyl amine, preferably trimethylamine, and a 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane derivative, preferably comprising either 1,4-(1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)butyl cations or 1,5-(1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)pentyl cations, as structure directing agents (SDAs). A lower alkyl ammonium hydroxide, such as tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH), can be used to control the pH. The invention also relates to SAPO-56 comprising a lower alkyl amine, such as trimethylamine, and a 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane derivative, such as a compound comprising either 1,4-(1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)butyl cations or 1,5-(1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) pentyl cations.
