Synthesis and catalytic properties of MAPO-36 molecular sieve

The effects of the conditions of hydrothermal synthesis and the composition of the starting gels on MAPO-36 synthesis have been examined. Pure MAPO-36 was obtained from the gel with Mg/P = 0.08–0.25 after hydrothermal synthesis at 373 K for 44 h and then at 423 K for 22 h.
