A comparison of isostructural H-SAPO-34 and H-chabazite in high space-veloc
ity experiments of the methanol to olefins (MTO) reaction has been performe
d. The initial selectivity was shown to be similar for both catalysts, and
also to be independent of acid site density. However, the deactivation rate
was critically dependent on the acid site density. Thus, low acid-site den
sity samples exhibited longer lifetimes at low space velocity conditions th
an their high acid-site density analogues. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. A
