SAPO-34 is a well-known catalyst for methanol to olefins (MTO) process, but is rapidly deactivated by coke formation. It is necessary to improve the catalyst lifetime of SAPO-34 for MTO process. In the present work, SAPO-34 catalysts were synthesized with a variety of structure directing agent, and the physicochemical properties of the catalysts were examined by $N_2$-isotherm, XRD, SEM, and $NH_3$-TPD. It was found that mixed structure directing agents, especially DEA and TEAOH, gave well developed SAPO-34 crystal structure and reduced the crystal size and moderated acidity of SAPO-34 under the same synthetic conditions as that of various structure directing agents. Also, we could find that SAPO-34 catalyst prepared by mixed templates of DEA and TEAOH had the superior catalytic activity and the longer lifetime in MTO reaction.

To use the filter materials for reduction of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke, the bead type cation and anion exchangers were synthesized by the suspension polymerization of GMA and DVB followed by the subsequent functionalization with sodium sulfite and diethylamine, respectively. FT-IR/ATR was used to characterize functionalized copolymer formation by sulfonation and amination, and the morphology change of ion exchangers according to the adsorption of cigarette mainstream smoke were observed by SEM. Ion exchange capacity, functionalization yield and adsorption properties of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke were investigated. The highest functionalization yields and ion exchange capacity were obtained at 5 wt% DVB content in co-monomer. The adsorption amount of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke of anion exchanger was higher than that of cation exchanger because of its electron delocalization in carbonyl group. The adsorption efficiency was increased in the presence of moisture. This results indicated that the anion exchanger was applicable for cigarette filter material because of its large ion exchange capacity and rapid ion exchange reaction.
