“…Among these molecular sieves, SAPO-11 molecular sieve has been proved to show high catalytic performances in the methylation of naphthalene with methanol (Liu et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013;. First of all, SAPO-11 is a one-dimensional pore zeolite with pore opening of 0.39 nm × 0.64 nm Zhang et al, 2007), which is between the pore size of large-pore molecular sieves and the pore size of medium-pore molecular sieves, making it an interesting material for catalytic cracking, reforming and alkylation (Subramanian et al, 1997;Prakash et al, 1996;Han et al, 2014;Liu et al, 1991;Rabaev et al, 2015;Tian et al, 2014;. Similar to ZSM-12, SAPO-11 also possesses one dimensional and non-intersecting channels (Zhang et al, 2010), which shows excellent resistance to deactivation by carbonaceous deposition.…”
