MOLECULAR SIEVES MeAPSO-82 STATEMENT OF PRIORITY [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Application No.62/341327 which was filed May 25, 2016, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to a new family of high charge density

metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate-based molecular sieves designated MeAPSO-82. They are represented by the empirical formula of:

where A is an alkali metal such as potassium, M is a divalent metal such as Zn ²⁺ , R is a least one quaternary ammonium cation such as ethyltrimethylammonium and E is a trivalent framework element such as aluminum or gallium. The MeAPSO-82 family of materials has the CGS topology and often exhibit“Si islands.” BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicate compositions which are microporous and which are formed from corner sharing [AlO _4/2 ]- and SiO _4/2 tetrahedra. Numerous zeolites, both naturally occurring and synthetically prepared are used in various industrial processes. Synthetic zeolites are prepared via hydrothermal synthesis employing suitable sources of Si, Al and structure directing agents (SDAs) such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, amines, or organoammonium cations. The structure directing agents reside in the pores of the zeolite and are largely responsible for the particular structure that is ultimately formed. These species balance the framework charge associated with aluminum and can also serve as space fillers. Zeolites are characterized by having pore openings of uniform dimensions, having a significant ion exchange capacity, and being capable of reversibly desorbing an adsorbed phase which is dispersed throughout the internal voids of the crystal without significantly displacing any atoms which make up the permanent zeolite crystal structure. Zeolites can be used as catalysts for hydrocarbon conversion reactions, which can take place on outside surfaces of the zeolite as well as on internal surfaces within the pores of the zeolite.

[0004] In 1982, Wilson et al. developed aluminophosphate molecular sieves, the so-called AlPOs, which are microporous materials that have many of the same properties of zeolites, but are silica free, composed of [AlO _4/2 ]- and [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ tetrahedra (See US 4319440). Subsequently, charge was introduced to the neutral aluminophosphate frameworks via the substitution of SiO _4/2 tetrahedra for [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ tetrahedra to produce the SAPO molecular sieves (See US 4440871). Another way to introduce framework charge to neutral aluminophosphates is to substitute

[M ²⁺ O _4/2 ] ^2- tetrahedra for [AlO - 4 _/2 ] tetrahedra, which yield the MeAPO molecular sieves (see US 4567029). These MeAPO materials generally showed low substitution levels of M ²⁺ for Al ³⁺ , generally on the order of 10%, while several materials, notably MeAPO-44 exhibited M ²⁺ for Al ³⁺ substitution levels of 40%. Later, MeAPO-50 also showed nearly 40% substitution of M ²⁺ for Al ³⁺ , but these examples of high Me ²⁺ substitution were few (See Zeolites, 1995, 15, 583- 590). It is furthermore possible to introduce framework charge on AlPO-based molecular sieves via the introduction both of SiO _4/2 and [M ²⁺ O _4/2 ] ^2- tetrahedra to the framework, giving MeAPSO molecular sieves (See US 4973785).

[0005] Before the SAPO materials of US 4440871 were known, there were attempts to make “phosphate zeolites,” i.e., substitution of phosphorus for silicon in an aluminosilicate. Such a substitution in an aluminosilicate zeolite, [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ for [SiO _4/2 ], represents a reduction of the negative charge on an aluminosilicate framework. The initial work by Flanigen and Grose co- precipitated the components of silicoaluminophosphate gels, isolated the resulting solid, suspended the resulting solids in alkali hydroxide solutions and treated them under hydrothermal conditions, yielding a series of phosphate zeolites, including those of LTL, CHA, LTA, and GIS topologies (See E. M. Flanigen and R. W. Grose, Advances in Chemistry Series No.101, ACS, Washington D. C, 1971). The low phosphate preparations, P/Al < 1 , 1, resulted in alkali silicoaluminophosphate species that were not as thermally stable as their aluminosilicate analogs, often less than 350– 400°C, and reduced adsorption capacity in some cases suggest the possibility of some occluded phosphate in pores and cages. Similarly, Wacks et al. disclose a process for preparing silicoaluminophosphate zeolites that entails digesting hydrated

aluminophosphate solids in the presence of sodium silicate solutions to make the desired silicoaluminophosphate materials, in which the claimed range of phosphate incorporation was given by P ₂ 0 ₅ /A1 ₂ 0 ₃ = 0 - 0.2, suggesting that Al/P > 5 in these materials (See K. Wacks et. al., US 3443892). While eight examples of this zeolite synthesis process are disclosed in US

3443892, there is no data offered that shows that any P was actually incorporated into the zeolite product, which is possible since the claimed range extends to zero. Many attempts to make silicoaluminophosphate zeolites resembled reactions that would be used to make aluminosilicate zeolites, but carried out in the presence of phosphate, yielding little phosphate incorporation. Kuhl conducted syntheses of silicoaluminophosphate compositions, employing high levels of both phosphate and hydroxide, utilizing a combination of tetramethylammonium and sodium hydroxides for the latter, to make the LTA-related species ZK-21 and ZK-22 (See G. H. Kuhl, Inorganic Chemistry, 10, 1971, p.2488). These species exhibit low phosphate incorporation, Al/P > 8.9, and it was concluded that the phosphate was occluded in zeolitic cages rather than incorporated into the framework. Casci et al. disclose low phosphate chabazite materials in which the framework phosphorus is claimed to be between 0.05– 5 mole %, i.e., P/(Al + Si + P) = 0.0005– 0.05 (See US 2014/0193327). The amount of phosphate employed in the reaction mixtures of the examples is low (Al/P > 5.5) and no data is offered in the examples to show what the P incorporation actually is. An outlier disclosed in the SAPO patent (US 4440871) uses some sodium aluminate, tetramethylammonium hydroxide and low phosphate (P/Al = 0.4) to prepare SAPO-42 (Example 48), which has the LTA topology and a composition similar to that of ZK-21 and ZK-22 mentioned above as Al/P > 10. The SAPO-42 product is described by an essential formulation that does not include alkali, since US 4440871 only covers compositions of the formulation mR:(Si _x Al _y P _z )O ₂ . This patent also discloses the synthesis of SAPO-20 from the same reaction mixture treated at higher temperature (Example 28). The SAPO-20 product, which has the SOD topology, is not porous, but has a slightly enhanced P content as Al/P = 3.17. For many years now, a large gap has been present in the known compositions of microporous silicoaluminophosphates, between the SAPOs disclosed in US 4440817 and what are essentially the“phosphate zeolites” reviewed above. In particular, the materials of intermediate silicon and phosphorus levels are missing. These are materials of intermediate charge density, of higher charge density than the SAPOs originating from low level substitution of Si into neutral AlPO frameworks, but lower charge density than the phosphate zeolites.

[0006] A similar charge density gap exists for MeAPO-based materials. In the early 1990’s, high charge density molecular sieves, similar to the MeAPOs but without the Al, were developed by Bedard (See US 5126120) and Gier (See US 5152972). These metal phosphates (sometimes arsenates, vanadates) were based on M ²⁺ (M = Zn, Co), the general formula of which, in terms of the T-atoms, T ²⁺ - T ⁵⁺ , was A ⁺ T ²⁺ T ⁵⁺ O ₄ , having framework charge densities similar to Si/Al = 1 zeolites and were charge balanced by alkali cations, A ⁺ , in the pores. Later attempts to prepare metallophosphates of similar compositions but with organic SDAs led to porous, but interrupted structures, i.e., the structures contained terminal P-O-H and Zn– N bonds (See J. Mater. Chem., 1992, 2(11), 1127-1134.) Attempts at Al substitution in a zincophosphate network was carried out in the presence of both alkali and quaternary ammonium agents, specifically the most highly charged quaternary ammonium species, tetramethylammonium, but because of the high framework charge density, only the alkali made it into the pores to balance framework charge (See US 5302362). Similarly, in a high charge density zincophosphate system that yielded the zinc phosphate analog of zeolite X, the synthesis in the presence of Na ⁺ and TMA ⁺ yielded a product that contained considerably less TMA ⁺ than Na ⁺ (See Chem. Mater., 1991, 3, 27-29).

[0007] To bridge the rather large charge density gap between the MeAPOs of US 4567029 and the aforementioned alkali-stabilized Me ²⁺ -phosphates of Bedard and Gier, Stucky’s group developed a synthesis route using amines, often diamines in ethylene glycol. They were able to make high charge density, small pore MeAPOs in which the concentrations of Co ²⁺ and Al ³⁺ in R(CoxAl ₁ -x)P04were varied such that 0.33 < x < 0.9 in the so-called ACP series of materials, the aluminum cobalt phosphates (See Nature, 1997, 388, 735). Continuing with this synthesis methodology utilizing ethylene glycol reaction mixtures and matching the amines to framework charge densities fo the large pore materials UCSB-6, -8 and -10 were isolated (See Science, 1997, 278, 2080). Similarly, this approach also yielded MeAPO analogs of zeolite rho of the composition

where R = N, N’-diisopropyl-1, 3-propanediamine, M ²⁺ = Mg ²⁺ , Co ²⁺ and Mn ²⁺ . Cowley followed this ethylene glycol-based approach, which he described as“predominantly non- aqueous solvothermal conditions” to synthesize a high charge density CoGaPO-5,

(DABCO) ₂ [Co ₄ Ga ₅ P ₉ O ₃₆ ], with the DABCO SDA (See Zeolites, 1997, 18, 176-181). Cowley also utilized this strategy to prepare cobalt and zinc gallium phosphates using quinuclidine as the SDA, one of which has the CGS topology with a framework charge density of -0.125/T-atom (See Microporous and Mesoporous Materials 1999, 28, 163-172). Similarly, Lin and Wang used 1,2 diaminocyclohexane (DACH) with the ethylene glycol approach to prepare a Zn-Ga phosphate of CGS topology with higher Zn incorporation than the Cowley work, realizing a framework charge density of -0.25/T-atom for (H ₂ DACH)Zn ₂ Ga ₂ (PO ₄ ) ₄ (See Chemistry of Materials, 2000, 12, 3617-3623). The reliance of this non-aqueous synthesis approach on ethylene glycol solvent does not lend itself well to industrial scale, from both a safety and environmental point of view. This non-aqueous approach also leads to very large crystals, often with dimensions of hundreds of microns, which are too large for industrial use, where μ-sized or smaller crystals are often preferred (See Science, 1997, 278, 2080). Other than this work cited here, there has been little activity in this intermediate charge density region, where 0.2≤ x≤ 0.9 for the compositions.

[0008] Pursuing aqueous chemistry, Wright used highly charged triquaternary ammonium SDAs to make new MeAPO materials (See Chem. Mater., 1999, 11, 2456– 2462). One of these materials, STA-5 with the BPH topology, (Mg _2.1 Al _11.9 P ₁₄ O ₂₈ ), exhibited significant substitution of Mg ²⁺ for Al ³⁺ , up to 15%, but less substitution than seen in Stucky’s non-aqueous ethylene glycol approach.

[0009] Unlike the SAPO and MeAPO chemistry discussed in the previous paragraphs, there has been far less investigation in the MeAPSO compositional arena, perhaps because of the complicated nature of this 4-component class of materials. The MeAPO and SAPO materials already consist of 3 T-atom components derived from substitution of Me ²⁺ or Si into AlPO-based frameworks, respectively. In the prior art, the addition of the fourth T-atom component, either Si or Me ²⁺ , has generally been a perturbation of an existing MeAPO or SAPO material. Flanigen et al. review aluminophosphate molecular sieves and the periodic table and discuss the elements that may be substituted into AlPO-based frameworks along with the elements that have been incorporated in 22 different AlPO-based topologies (See Y. Murakami, A. Lijima, J. W.Ward (Eds.), Proc. of 7 ^th Int. Zeolite Conf., (Elsevier Amsterdam 1986), p.103-112). In each case where a MeAPSO composition exists, there is also an AlPO, SAPO, or MeAPO composition except for MeAPSO-46, which was actually found first as a MeAPSO composition, but later found in a MeAPO composition with the same SDA, di-isopropylamine (See J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 1993, 89, 4141-4147). There are many examples of MeAPSO compositions that are derivatives of previously known MeAPO or SAPO compositions, for instance MeAPSO-34, the derivatives often prepared to see the effects on catalytic and other material properties (See Applied Catalysis A, General 2011406, 59-62). The MeAPSO compositions, however, have not been the focus of new exploratory synthesis. For instance, the attempts to make higher charge density metalloaluminophosphates by Stucky, Cowley and others discussed above have not been extended to MeAPSO compositions. Hence, more than the MeAPOs and SAPOs discussed above, there is a lack of MeAPSO compositions of intermediate to high charge density, in other words, MeAPSOs that contain significant amounts of Me ²⁺ , Si ⁴⁺ , or both, above the minor to modest substitution levels described in US 4973785. In short, the compositions of MeAPSO materials have not progressed from what was disclosed in US 4973785.

[0010] More recently, Lewis et al. developed aqueous solution chemistry leading to higher charge density SAPO, MeAPO, and MeAPSO materials, enabling greater substitution of SiO _4/2 and [M ²⁺ O _4/2 ] ^2- into the framework for [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ and [AlO _4/2 ]-, respectively, using the

ethyltrimethylammonium (ETMA ⁺ ) and diethyldimethylammonium (DEDMA ⁺ ) SDAs. These materials include MeAPO, SAPO, and MeAPSO versions of ZnAPO-57 (US 8,871,178), ZnAPO-59 (US 8,871,177) and ZnAPO-67 (US 8,697,927), as well as the species MeAPSO-64 of BPH topology (US 8,696,886), which was not realized as a MeAPO or SAPO composition with these SDAs. The relationship between the increasing product framework charge densities and reaction parameters, namely the ETMAOH(DEDMAOH)/H ₃ PO ₄ ratios, were outlined in the literature (See Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 189, 2014, 49-63). [0011] Applicants have now synthesized a new family of charged

metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate framework materials designated MeAPSO-82 with the CGS topology. MeAPSO-82 exhibits higher charge densities than the MeAPSOs mentioned in US 4973785, most notably containing either more Me ²⁺ , more Si ⁴⁺ or both. The high charge density (HCD) MeAPSOs of this invention are synthesized in a mixed quaternary

ammonium/alkali SDA system, for example ETMA ⁺ /K ⁺ . The utility of alkali in AlPO-based systems is uncommon and is required here to achieve the higher charge density and higher Me ²⁺ and Si ⁴⁺ incorporation. The MeAPSO materials of this invention often contain“Si islands,” regions of“Si-O-Si” bonding. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0012] As stated, the present invention relates to a new family of

metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate molecular sieves designated MeAPSO-82. Accordingly, one embodiment of the invention is a microporous crystalline material having a three- dimensional framework of [MO _4/2 ] ^2- , [EO _4/2 ]-, [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ and SiO _4/2 tetrahedral units and an empirical composition in the as synthesized form and on an anhydrous basis expressed by an empirical formula of:

where R is an organoammonium cation selected from the group consisting of

ethyltrimethylammonium (ETMA ⁺ ), hexamethonium (HM ²⁺ ), choline [Me ₃ NCH ₂ CH ₂ OH] ⁺ , trimethylpropylammonium, trimethylisopropylammonium, trimethylbutylammonium, tetramethylammonium (TMA ⁺ ), diethyldimethylammonium (DEDMA ⁺ ), tetraethylammonium (TEA ⁺ ), tetrapropylammonium (TPA ⁺ ) and mixtures thereof,“r” is the mole ratio of R to P and has a value of 0.1 to 1.5,“p” is the weighted average valence of R and varies from 1 to 2, A is an alkali metal such as Li ⁺ , Na ⁺ , K ⁺ , Rb ⁺ and Cs ⁺ and mixtures thereof,“m” is the mole ratio of A to P and varies from 0.1 to 1.5, M is a divalent metal selected from the group Zn, Co, Mg, Mn and mixtures thereof,“w” is the mole ratio of M to P and varies from 0.2 to 0.9, E is a trivalent element selected from the group consisting of aluminum and gallium and mixtures thereof,“x” is the mole ratio of E to P and varies from 0.1 to 0.8,“y” is the mole ratio of Si to P and varies from 0.02 to 2.5, and“z” is the mole ratio of O to P and has a value determined by the equation:

z = (m + p x r + 2 x w + 3 x x + 5 + 4 x y)/2

and is characterized in that it has the x-ray diffraction pattern having at least the d-spacings and intensities set forth in Table A:

Table A

[0013] Another embodiment of the invention is a process for preparing the crystalline metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate molecular sieve described above. The process comprises forming a reaction mixture containing reactive sources of R, A, E, P, M and Si, and heating the reaction mixture at a temperature of 60°C to 200°C for a time sufficient to form the molecular sieve, the reaction mixture having a composition expressed in terms of mole ratios of the oxides of:

where“a” has a value of 2.1 to 120,“b” has a value of 0.1 to 8,“c” has a value of 0.25 to 8,“d” has a value of 1.69 to 30,“e” has a value from 0.1 to 16 and“f” has a value from 50 to 5000.

[0014] Yet another embodiment of the invention is a hydrocarbon conversion process using the above-described molecular sieve as a catalyst. The process comprises contacting at least one hydrocarbon with the molecular sieve at conversion conditions to generate at least one converted hydrocarbon. [0015] Still another embodiment of the invention is a separation process using the crystalline MeAPSO-82 material. The process may involve separating mixtures of molecular species or removing contaminants by contacting a fluid with the MeAPSO-82 molecular sieve. Separation of molecular species can be based either on the molecular size (kinetic diameter) or on the degree of polarity of the molecular species. Removing contaminants may be by ion exchange with the molecular sieve. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0016] Applicants have prepared a family of metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate-based molecular sieves designated MeAPSO-82. Compared to other MeAPSO materials in the prior art, the MeAPSO-82 family of materials contains much more Si or more M ²⁺ or both and exhibits high framework (FW) charge densities that require the use of alkali cations in addition to quaternary ammonium ions to balance the FW charge. Traditional MeAPSOs, such as those disclosed in US 4973785 chiefly use organic-based species for FW charge balance, most often amines, while the use of alkali is avoided. The instant microporous crystalline material (MeAPSO-82) has an empirical composition in the as-synthesized form and on an anhydrous basis expressed by the empirical formula:

where A is at least one alkali cation and is selected from the group of alkali metals. Specific examples of the A cations include but are not limited to lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and mixtures thereof. R is at least one quaternary ammonium cation, examples of which include but are not limited to ethyltrimethylammonium (ETMA ⁺ ), hexamethonium (HM ²⁺ ), choline [Me ₃ NCH ₂ CH ₂ OH] ⁺ , trimethylpropylammonium, trimethylisopropylammonium, trimethylbutylammonium, diethyldimethylammonium (DEDMA ⁺ ), tetramethylammonium (TMA ⁺ ) tetraethylammonium (TEA ⁺ ), tetrapropylammonium (TPA ⁺ ) and mixtures thereof and “r” is the mole ratio of R to P and varies from 0.1 to 1.5, while“p” is the weighted average valence of R and varies from 1 to 2. M and E are tetrahedrally coordinated and in the framework, M is a divalent element selected from the group of Zn, Mg, Co, Mn and mixtures thereof, while E is a trivalent element selected from aluminum and gallium and mixtures thereof. The value of “m” is the mole ratio of A to P and varies from 0.1 to 1.5,“w” is the mole ratio of M to P and varies from 0.2 to 0.9,“x” is mole ratio of E to P and varies from 0.1 to 0.8. The ratio of silicon to P is represented by“y” which varies from 0.02 to 2.5. Lastly,“z” is the mole ratio of O to E and is given by the equation:

When only one type of R quaternary ammonium cation is present, then the weighted average valence is just the valence of that cation, e.g., +1 or +2. When more than one R cation is present, the total amount of R is given by the equation:

the weighted average valence“p” is given by:

[0017] The MeAPSO-82 of this invention is characterized by a high charge density compared to that known for most MeAPSO materials and can exhibit significant formation of“Si islands,” i.e., Si-O-Si bonding. The FW charge on ideal MeAPSO-82 in terms of the empirical formula given above is 2 x“w” +“x” -1 or 2 x M + Al– P. The charge on these materials is such that highly charged alkali cations are employed in addition to quaternary ammonium cations to balance the FW charge. Comparing MeAPSO materials to AlPO materials, two substitution mechanisms leading to FW charge are at work compared to the parent neutral AlPO materials, namely [M ²⁺ O _4/2 ] ^2- for [AlO _4/2 ]- and [SiO _4/2 ] for [PO _4/2 ] ⁺ .“Si” incorporation is observed in two different ways in the MeAPSO-82 materials. In one case, Si only substitutes for P, adding FW charge in the process as mentioned above. All FW phosphorous must be isolated because it can only be bonded to M or E in the framework via P-O-E(M) bonding, and therefore, the Si substituting for P is also isolated. However, unlike P, Si can also bond to itself through Si- O-Si bonding, forming what are known as“Si islands.”“Si islands” are known in the art even for lower charge density materials, for example, for SAPO-56 (See Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 28, (1999), 125– 137). In the present case of ideal MeAPSO-82, the presence of“Si islands” is apparent when, in terms of the empirical formula describing MeAPSO-82,“w” +“x” < 1 +“y”.

[0018] It has also been noted that in the MeAPSO-82 materials that a portion of M ²⁺ may also reside in the pores, likely in a charge balancing role.

[0019] The microporous crystalline metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate MeAPSO-82 is prepared by a hydrothermal crystallization of a reaction mixture prepared by combining reactive sources of R, A, E, phosphorous, M and silicon. A preferred form of the MeAPSO-82 materials is when E is Al. The sources of aluminum include but are not limited to aluminum alkoxides, precipitated aluminas, aluminum metal, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum salts, alkali aluminates and alumina sols. Specific examples of aluminum alkoxides include, but are not limited to aluminum ortho sec-butoxide and aluminum ortho isopropoxide. Sources of M include but are not limited to zinc acetate, zinc chloride, cobalt acetate, cobalt chloride, magnesium acetate, magnesium nitrate, manganese sulfate, manganese acetate and manganese nitrate. Sources of phosphorus include, but are not limited to, orthophosphoric acid, phosphorus pentoxide, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. Sources of silica include but are not limited to tetraethylorthosilicate, colloidal silica, alkali silicates and precipitated silica. Sources of the other E elements include but are not limited to precipitated gallium hydroxide, gallium chloride, gallium sulfate or gallium nitrate. Sources of the A metals include the halide salts, nitrate salts, hydroxide salts, acetate salts, and sulfate salts of the respective alkali metals. R is at least one quaternary ammonium cation selected from the group consisting of ethyltrimethylammonium (ETMA ⁺ ), hexamethonium (HM ²⁺ ), choline [Me ₃ NCH ₂ CH ₂ OH] ⁺ , trimethylpropylammonium, trimethylisopropylammonium, trimethylbutylammonium, diethyldimethylammonium

(DEDMA ⁺ ), tetramethylammonium (TMA ⁺ ) tetraethylammonium (TEA ⁺ ),

tetrapropylammonium (TPA ⁺ ) and mixtures thereof, and the sources include the hydroxide, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate and fluoride compounds. Specific examples include without limitation ethyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, ethyltrimethylammonium chloride,

hexamethonium dihydroxide, hexamethonium dichloride, choline hydroxide, choline chloride, diethyldimethylammonium chloride, diethyldimethylammonium hydroxide,

propyltrimethylammonium chloride and tetramethylammonium chloride. In one embodiment R is ETMA ⁺ . In another embodiment, R is DEDMA ⁺ . In yet another embodiment, R is a combination of ETMA ⁺ and at least one organoammonium cation selected from the group consisting of choline, DEDMA ⁺ , TMA ⁺ , HM ²⁺ , trimethylpropylammonium, TEA ⁺ , and TPA ⁺ .

[0020] The reaction mixture containing reactive sources of the desired components can be described in terms of molar ratios of the oxides by the formula:

aR _2/p O : bA ₂ O : cMO : E ₂ O ₃ : dP ₂ O ₅ : eSiO ₂ : fH ₂ O where“a” varies from 2.1 to 120,“b” varies from 0.1 to 8,“c” varies from 0.25 to 8,“d” varies from 1.69 to 30,“e” varies from 0.1 to 16 and“f” varies from 50 to 5000. If alkoxides are used, it is preferred to include a distillation or evaporative step to remove the alcohol hydrolysis products. The reaction mixture is now reacted at a temperature of 60°C to 200°C and preferably from 95°C to 175°C for a period of 1 day to 3 weeks and preferably for a time of 1 day to 14 days in a sealed reaction vessel at autogenous pressure. After crystallization is complete, the solid product is isolated from the heterogeneous mixture by means such as filtration or centrifugation, and then washed with deionized water and dried in air at ambient temperature up to 100°C. MeAPSO-82 seeds can optionally be added to the reaction mixture in order to accelerate or otherwise enhance the formation of the desired microporous composition.

[0021] The MeAPSO-82 metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate-based material, which is obtained from the above-described process, is characterized by the x-ray diffraction pattern, having at least the d-spacings and relative intensities set forth in Table A below.

Table A

[0022] The MeAPSO-82 may be modified in many ways to tailor it for use in a particular application. Modifications include calcination, ammonia calcinations, ion-exchange, steaming, various acid extractions, ammonium hexafluorosilicate treatment, or any combination thereof, as outlined for the case of UZM-4 in US 6,776,975 B1 which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In addition, properties that may be modified include porosity, adsorption, framework composition, acidity, thermal stability, ion-exchange capacity, etc.

[0023] As synthesized, the MeAPSO-82 material will contain some of the exchangeable or charge balancing cations in its pores. These exchangeable cations can be exchanged for other cations, or in the case of organic cations, they can be removed by heating under controlled conditions. Sometimes, organic cations may be removed directly by ion-exchange, heating may not be necessary. If heating is necessary to remove organic cations, a preferred method of their removal from the pores is ammonia calcination. Calcination in air converts the organic cations in the pores to protons, which can lead to the loss of some metal, for example Al, from the framework upon exposure to ambient atmospheric water vapor. When the calcination is carried out in an ammonia atmosphere, the organic cation in the pore is replaced by NH ⁺

4 cation and the framework remains intact (See Studies in Surface Science, (2004) vol.154, p.1324 - 1331). Typical conditions for ammonia calcinations include the use of gaseous anhydrous ammonia flowing at a rate of 1.1 l/min while ramping the sample temperature at 5°C/min to 500°C and holding at that temperature for a time ranging from 5 minutes to an hour. The resulting ammonium/alkali form of MeAPSO-82 has essentially the diffraction pattern of Table A. Once in this form, the ammonia calcined material may be ion-exchanged with H ⁺ , NH ⁺

4 , alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, or any mixture thereof, to achieve a wide variety of compositions with the MeAPSO-82 framework in superior condition.

[0024] When MeAPSO-82 or its modified forms are calcined in air, there can be a loss of metal from the framework, such as Al, which can alter the x-ray diffraction pattern from that observed for the as-synthesized MeAPSO-82 (See Studies in Surface Science, (2004) vol.154, p.1324 - 1331). Typical conditions for the calcination of the MeAPSO-82 sample include ramping the temperature from room temperature to a calcination temperature of 400– 600 °C, preferably a calcination temperature of 450– 550 °C at a ramp rate of 1 to 5°C/min, preferably a ramp rate of 2 to 4°C/min, the temperature ramp conducted in an atmosphere consisting either of flowing nitrogen or flowing clean dry air, preferably an atmosphere of flowing nitrogen. Once at the desired calcination temperature, if the calcination atmosphere employed during the temperature ramp is flowing clean dry air, it may remain flowing clean dry air. If the calcination atmosphere during the ramp was flowing nitrogen, it may remain flowing nitrogen at the calcination temperature or it may be immediately converted to clean dry air; preferably at the calcination temperature the calcination atmosphere will remain flowing nitrogen for a period of 1– 10 hr and preferably for a period of 2-4 hours before converting the calcination atmosphere to flowing clean dry air. The final step of the calcination is a dwell at the calcination temperature in clean dry air. Whether the calcination atmosphere during the initial temperature ramp was flowing nitrogen or flowing clean dry air, once at the calcination temperature and once the calcination atmosphere is clean dry air, the MeAPSO-82 sample will spend a period of 1–24 hr and preferably a period of 2–6 hr under these conditions to complete the calcination process.

[0025] The crystalline MeAPSO-82 materials of this invention can be used for separating mixtures of molecular species, removing contaminants through ion exchange and catalyzing various hydrocarbon conversion processes. Separation of molecular species can be based either on the molecular size (kinetic diameter) or on the degree of polarity of the molecular species.

[0026] The MeAPSO-82 compositions of this invention can also be used as a catalyst or catalyst support in various hydrocarbon conversion processes. Hydrocarbon conversion processes are well known in the art and include cracking, hydrocracking, alkylation of both aromatics and isoparaffin, isomerization, polymerization, reforming, hydrogenation,

dehydrogenation, transalkylation, dealkylation, hydration, dehydration, hydrotreating, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, methanol to olefins, methanation and syngas shift process. Specific reaction conditions and the types of feeds which can be used in these processes are set forth in US 4,310,440, US 4,440,871 and US 5,126,308, which are incorporated by reference. Preferred hydrocarbon conversion processes are those in which hydrogen is a component such as hydrotreating or hydrofining, hydrogenation, hydrocracking,

hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, etc. [0027] Hydrocracking conditions typically include a temperature in the range of 400° to 1200°F (204-649°C), preferably between 600° and 950°F (316-510°C). Reaction pressures are in the range of atmospheric to 3,500 psig (24,132 kPa g), preferably between 200 and 3000 psig (1379– 20,685 kPa g). Contact times usually correspond to liquid hourly space velocities (LHSV) in the range of 0.1 hr ^-1 to 15 hr ^-1 , preferably between 0.2 and 3 hr ^-1 . Hydrogen circulation rates are in the range of 1,000 to 50,000 standard cubic feet (scf) per barrel of charge (178-8,888 std. m ³ /m ³ ), preferably between 2,000 and 30,000 scf per barrel of charge (355-5,333 std. m ³ /m ³ ). Suitable hydrotreating conditions are generally within the broad ranges of hydrocracking conditions set out above.

[0028] The reaction zone effluent is normally removed from the catalyst bed, subjected to partial condensation and vapor-liquid separation and then fractionated to recover the various components thereof. The hydrogen, and if desired some or all of the unconverted heavier materials, are recycled to the reactor. Alternatively, a two-stage flow may be employed with the unconverted material being passed into a second reactor. Catalysts of the subject invention may be used in just one stage of such a process or may be used in both reactor stages.

[0029] Catalytic cracking processes are preferably carried out with the MeAPSO-82 composition using feedstocks such as gas oils, heavy naphthas, deasphalted crude oil residua, etc. with gasoline being the principal desired product. Temperature conditions of 850° to 1100°F (455°C to 593°C), LHSV values of 0.5 hr ^-1 to 10 hr ^-1 and pressure conditions of from 0 to 50 psig (0-345 kPa ) are suitable.

[0030] Alkylation of aromatics usually involves reacting an aromatic (C ₂ to C ₁₂ ), especially benzene, with a monoolefin to produce a linear alkyl substituted aromatic. The process is carried out at an aromatic: olefin (e.g., benzene:olefin) ratio of between 5:1 and 30:1, a LHSV of 0.3 to 6 hr ^-1 , a temperature of 100° to 250°C and pressures of 200 to 1000 psig (1,379– 6,895 kPa). Further details on apparatus may be found in US 4,870,222 which is incorporated by reference.

[0031] Alkylation of isoparaffins with olefins to produce alkylates suitable as motor fuel components is carried out at temperatures of–30° to 40°C, pressures from atmospheric to 6,894 kPa (1,000 psig) and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 0.1 hr ^-1 to 120 hr ^-1 . Details on paraffin alkylation may be found in US 5,157,196 and US 5,157,197, which are incorporated by reference.

[0032] The conversion of methanol to olefins is effected by contacting the methanol with the MeAPSO-82 catalyst at conversion conditions, thereby forming the desired olefins. The methanol can be in the liquid or vapor phase with the vapor phase being preferred. Contacting the methanol with the MeAPSO-82 catalyst can be done in a continuous mode or a batch mode with a continuous mode being preferred. The amount of time that the methanol is in contact with the MeAPSO-82 catalyst must be sufficient to convert the methanol to the desired light olefin products. When the process is carried out in a batch process, the contact time varies from 0.001 hrs to 1 hr and preferably from 0.01 hr to 1.0 hr. The longer contact times are used at lower temperatures while shorter times are used at higher temperatures. Further, when the process is carried out in a continuous mode, the Weight Hourly Space Velocity (WHSV) based on methanol can vary from 1 hr ^-1 to 1000 hr ^-1 and preferably from 1hr ^-1 to 100 hr ^-1 .

[0033] Generally, the process must be carried out at elevated temperatures in order to form light olefins at a fast enough rate. Thus, the process should be carried out at a temperature of 300 °C to 600 °C, preferably from 400 °C to 550 °C and most preferably from 450 °C to 525 °C. The process may be carried out over a wide range of pressure including autogenous pressure. Thus, the pressure can vary from 0 kPa (0 psig) to 1724 kPa (250 psig) and preferably from 34 kPa (5 psig) to 345 kPa (50 psig).

[0034] Optionally, the methanol feedstock may be diluted with an inert diluent in order to more efficiently convert the methanol to olefins. Examples of the diluents which may be used are helium, argon, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, steam, paraffinic hydrocarbons, e. g., methane, aromatic hydrocarbons, e. g., benzene, toluene and mixtures thereof. The amount of diluent used can vary considerably and is usually from 5 to 90 mole percent of the feedstock and preferably from 25 to 75 mole percent.

[0035] The actual configuration of the reaction zone may be any well-known catalyst reaction apparatus known in the art. Thus, a single reaction zone or a number of zones arranged in series or parallel may be used. In such reaction zones the methanol feedstock is flowed through a bed containing the MeAPSO-82 catalyst. When multiple reaction zones are used, one or more MeAPSO-82 catalysts may be used in series to produce the desired product mixture. Instead of a fixed bed, a dynamic bed system, e. g., fluidized or moving, may be used. Such a dynamic system would facilitate any regeneration of the MeAPSO-82 catalyst that may be required. If regeneration is required, the MeAPSO-82 catalyst can be continuously introduced as a moving bed to a regeneration zone where it can be regenerated by means such as oxidation in an oxygen containing atmosphere to remove carbonaceous materials.

[0036] The following examples are presented in illustration of this invention and are not intended as undue limitations on the generally broad scope of the invention as set out in the appended claims. The products will be designated with the name MeAPSO-82 that contains the suffix“-82” to indicate the“-82” structure (CGS topology) and the prefix that reflects the compositional nature of the product, namely“MeAPSO” for a

metalloalumino(gallo)phosphosilicate, where it is understood that Al may be replaced in part or fully by Ga in any of these examples.

[0037] The structure of the MeAPSO-82 compositions of this invention was determined by x-ray analysis. The x-ray patterns presented in the following examples were obtained using standard x-ray powder diffraction techniques. The radiation source was a high-intensity, x-ray tube operated at 45 kV and 35 mA. The diffraction pattern from the copper K-alpha radiation was obtained by appropriate computer based techniques. Flat compressed powder samples were continuously scanned at 2° to 56° (2T). Interplanar spacings (d) in Angstrom units were obtained from the position of the diffraction peaks expressed as T where T is the Bragg angle as observed from digitized data. Intensities were determined from the integrated area of diffraction peaks after subtracting background,“Io” being the intensity of the strongest line or peak, and“I” being the intensity of each of the other peaks.

[0038] As will be understood by those skilled in the art the determination of the parameter 2T is subject to both human and mechanical error, which in combination can impose an uncertainty of r0.4° on each reported value of 2T. This uncertainty is, of course, also manifested in the reported values of the d-spacings, which are calculated from the 2T values. This imprecision is general throughout the art and is not sufficient to preclude the differentiation of the present crystalline materials from each other and from the compositions of the prior art. In some of the x-ray patterns reported, the relative intensities of the d-spacings are indicated by the notations vs, s, m, and w which represent very strong, strong, medium, and weak, respectively. In terms of 100 x I/Io, the above designations are defined as:

w = 0-15; m = 15-60: s = 60-80 and vs = 80-100

[0039] In certain instances the purity of a synthesized product may be assessed with reference to its x-ray powder diffraction pattern. Thus, for example, if a sample is stated to be pure, it is intended only that the x-ray pattern of the sample is free of lines attributable to crystalline impurities, not that there are no amorphous materials present.

[0040] In order to more fully illustrate the invention, the following examples are set forth. It is to be understood that the examples are only by way of illustration and are not intended as an undue limitation on the broad scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. Example 1

[0041] A Teflon bottle was charged with 116.00 g DEDMAOH (20%, SACHEM, Inc.) followed by the addition of 5.17 g tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS, 98%, Sigma-Aldrich). A stirbar was added and the bottle was sealed. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hr to hydrolyze TEOS and then transferred to a Teflon beaker and placed under a high speed stirrer. Pre-ground aluminum isopropoxide (13.2% Al), 4.97 g, was added to the reaction mixture and dissolved with stirring, followed by the addition of 25.00 g de-ionized water. Then 16.69 g H ₃ PO ₄ (85.7%) was added dropwise to the stirring reaction mixture. Separately, 5.34 g Zn(OAc) ₂ *2H ₂ O was dissolved in 25.00 g de-ionized water and this solution was added dropwise over the course of three stages. Another solution was prepared by dissolving 1.19 g KOAc (99.4%) in 10.64 g de- ionized water, which was added to the reaction mixture intermittently in a dropwise fashion. The reaction mixture was homogenized further before it was distributed among 7 Teflon-lined autoclaves, which were quiescently digested at autogenous pressure at temperatures of 95, 125, 150, and 175 °C, for either 48 or 168 hr or both. The solid products were isolated by

centrifugation, washed with de-ionized water and dried at room temperature. The products isolated from all of the digestions were identified as containing MeAPSO-82 with the CGS topology as the major product by powder x-ray diffraction. However, the products isolated from the 95°C/168 hr and 175°C/48 hr digestions yielded MeAPSO-82 free of other diffraction lines. The representative diffraction lines for the product from the 175 °C/48 hr digestion are shown in Table 1 below. Elemental analysis showed this product was composed of the elemental ratios Al/P = 0.54, Zn/P = 0.52, K/P = 0.24, Si/P = 0.52 and N/P = 0.30, consistent with the stoichiometry DEDMA _0.30 K _0.24 Zn _0.52 Al _0.54 Si _0.52 P.

[0042] A Teflon bottle was charged with 102.35 g ETMAOH (20 %, SACHEM, Inc.).

Additionally, 5.17 g TEOS (98%) and a stirbar were added. The bottle was sealed and the solution was stirred to hydrolyze the TEOS. The solution was then transferred to a Teflon beaker and placed under a high speed stirrer. Pre-ground aluminum isopropoxide (13.2% Al), 4.97 g, was added and dissolved with stirring. Next, 16.69 g H ₃ PO ₄ (85.7%) was added to the reaction mixture in a dropwise fashion. This was followed by the addition of 37.00 g de-ionized water to the reaction mixture. Separately, 5.34 g Zn(OAc) ₂ *2H ₂ O was dissolved in 25.00 g de-ionized water and the resulting solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture. Additionally, 1.19 g KOAc (99.4%) was dissolved in 9.50 g de-ionized water and added to the reaction mixture in a dropwise fashion. The reaction mixture was homogenized further before it was distributed among 7 Teflon-lined autoclaves, which were quiescently digested at autogenous pressure at temperatures of 95, 125, 150, and 175 °C, for either 88 or 188 hr or both. The solid products were isolated by centrifugation, washed with de-ionized water and dried at room temperature. The products isolated from all of the digestions were identified as containing MeAPSO-82 with the CGS topology as the major product by powder x-ray diffraction. However, the product isolated from the 95°C/188 hr digestion yielded MeAPSO-82 that was nearly pure. The representative diffraction lines for the product from the 95 °C/188 hr digestion are shown in Table 2 below. Elemental analysis showed this product was composed of the elemental ratios Al/P = 0.56, Zn/P = 0.52, K/P = 0.25, Si/P = 0.56 and N/P = 0.32, consistent with the stoichiometry ETMA _0.32 K _0.25 Zn _0.52 Al _0.56 Si _0.56 P.
