[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the application of the above-mentioned AEI-type silica-alumina molecular sieve is also provided, which is used for the denitration of automobile exhaust gas of different kinds of diesel engines and petrochemical and chemical chemical industries. In addition to using the above-mentioned AEI silico-alumina molecular sieve as a catalyst for the purification of automobile exhaust, it is reported that the global annual demand for catalysts will increase by 6.0%. In 2012, the global catalyst market reached 16.3 billion US dollars and the output reached 5.3 million tons. After 2012, polymerization catalysts will grow the fastest. One of the reasons is the rapid economic growth in Africa/Middle East and Asia Pacific. Due to the steady increase in the demand for hydroprocessing catalysts and the high oil production in Africa/Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions, the demand for catalysts in the refining industry is also booming. The above-mentioned AEI silico-alumina molecular sieve of the present invention has excellent high and low-temperature hydrothermal stability, and is particularly suitable as a carrier of the above-mentioned catalyst, and therefore has broad applications in petrochemical and chemical industries. Since 1977, catalysts prepared from SAPO molecular sieves (MTO for short) have been used in the reaction of alcohols to olefins. Alcohols produced from coal cracking or natural gas can be used to generate olefins and propylene through MTO catalysts. Polyolefin materials are generated through polymerization, which can be processed into plastic products. It is estimated that in the next 5 years, China will form 12 million tons/year of MTO production capacity, and the annual consumption of catalysts will reach about 12,000 tons. Accordingly, the MTO catalyst market will exceed 2 billion yuan/year. By then, the demand for catalysts will far exceed the current domestic supply capacity. In this development process, catalyst suppliers will usher in good market opportunities. The above-mentioned AEI silico-alumina molecular sieve of the present invention is also particularly suitable as a carrier of the above-mentioned catalyst, and therefore has broad applications in petrochemical and chemical industries.
