Selective production of propylene was investigated with preparation routes to MSE-type zeolite catalysts, microporous aluminosilicates with a 12-10-10-ring micropore system and examples of atalytic application including the conversions of petroleum and non-petroleum resources were reviewed.Variation of the synthetic route provided characteristic aluminosilicate MSE-type materials that exhibited improved catalytic performances for hexane cracking. La-modification is effective for enhancing the catalytic performance in hexane cracking. P-loaded MCM-68 catalyst was prepared by impregnation and subsequent calcination to control the acid sites distribution in MCM-68 zeolite catalyst. Phosphate impregnation increased the selectivity to propylene and butenes in the dimethyl ether-to-olefin (DTO) reaction. The propylene/ethylene ratio in the products was significantly increased by phosphate modification. Phosphate-modified MCM-68 showed high resistance to coke formation, indicating that this modification technique is useful to obtain long-lived catalysts in the DTO reaction. Ce-modification of dealuminated MCM-68 enhanced the stability.
