摘　　要：SAPO-34, a silicoaluminophosphate zeolite, has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method with the addition of different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and has been characterized with XRD, SEM, N2adsorption–desorption, FT-IR, and NH3temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). We studied SAPO-34 as a catalyst in the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction, in a fixed-bed reactor. The results show that the chain length of PEG has a great influence on the particle size and morphology of SAPO-34. PEG acts as inhibitor in the crystallization process. With the increase of the chain length of PEG used in the synthesis, from a relative molecular weight of 400–6000, the morphology of SAPO-34 changes gradually from cubic to nanoplate-like and then changes to cubic again. The particle size decreases markedly at first and then increases to some extent. The catalytic stability in the MTO reaction also increases first and then decreases, with all the catalysts having almost the same selectivity to olefins. When the sample is synthesized with PEG800, the particles become nanoplate-like with a thickness of 46 nm on average, and the catalytic stability is appreciably prolonged, which is attributed to the shorter diffusion paths of the reactants in the zeolite. © 2017 The Author(s)SAPO-34, a silicoaluminophosphate zeolite, has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method with the addition of different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol(PEG), and has been characterized with XRD, SEM,N_2 adsorption–desorption, FT-IR, and NH_3 temperatureprogrammed desorption(NH_3-TPD).
