Abstract
Abstract The aluminoborosilicate containing an alkaline earth metal element, e.g. calcium, characterized by the chemical composition and the X-ray diffraction pattern is prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of a reaction mixture containing the source materials of boron and the alkaline earth in a similar procedure to that for the preparation of ZSM-5 type zeolites. Different from the conventional ZSM-5 zeolites into which calcium ions are introduced by ion exchange, the calcium ions in the inventive aluminoborosilicate are not replaceable by ion exchange with protons or alkali metal ions. The aluminoborosilicate of the invention after conversion into the hydrogen form is an excellent catalyst for the conversion of methyl alcohol or dimethyl ether into lower olefins such as ethylene and propylene in respect of the selectivity and durability of the catalytic activity with remarkably decreased deposition of carbonaceous materials.
