Abstract

Hydrothermal treatment of silicoaluminophosphate molecular-sieves at temperatures in excess of about 700.degree. C. for periods sufficient to destroy a large proportion of their acid sites while retaining at least 80 percent of their crystallinity is found to result in a catalyst for converting methanol to lower olefins having increased catalyst life, increased selectivity for C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins and decreased selectivity for paraffin production than the untreated SAPO-n starting composition.
