Effect of mesopore spatial distribution of HZSM-5 catalyst on zinc state and product distribution in 1-hexene aromatization

1-hexene aromatization is a promising technology to convert excess olefin in fluid catalytic cracking(FCC)gasoline to high-value benzene(B),toluene(T),and xylene.Besides,the increasing market demand of xylene has put forward higher requirements for new generation of catalyst.For increasing xylene yield in 1-hexene aromatization,the effect of mesopore structure and spatial distribution on product distribution and Zn loading was studied.Catalysts with different mesopore spatial distribution were prepared by post-treatment of parent HZSM-5 zeolite,including NaOH treatment,tetra-propylammonium hydroxide(TPAOH)treatment,and recrystallization.It was found the evenly distributed mesopore mainly prolongs the catalyst lifetime by enhancing diffusion properties but reduces the aromatics selectivity,as a result of damage of micropores close to the catalyst surface.While the selectivity of high-value xylene can be highly promoted when the mesopore is mainly distributed interior the catalyst.Besides,the state of loaded Zn was also affected by mesopores spatial distribution.On the optimized catalyst,the xylene selectivity was enhanced by 12.4%compared with conventional Zn-loaded parent HZSM-5 catalyst at conversion over 99%.It was attributed to the synergy effect of mesopores spatial distribution and optimized acid properties.This work reveals the role of mesopores in different spatial positions of 1-hexene aromatization catalysts in the reaction process and the influence on metal distribution,as well as their synergistic effect two on the improvement of xylene selectivity,which can improve our understanding of catalyst pore structure and be helpful for the rational design of high-efficient catalyst.

Strong influences of polymerization temperature on ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization catalyzed by (2-PhInd)_2ZrCl_2/methyl aluminoxane

Ethylene/1-hexene was copolymerized by an unbridged zirconocene, (2-PhInd)2ZrCl2/MAO (methyl aluminoxane) at 0 °C and 50 °C respectively. High copolymerization activity and 1-hexene incorporation were observed at 0 °C, with the co- polymer formed having random sequence distribution and narrow molecular weight distribution. Ethylene polymerization at 50 °C showed high activity, but copolymerization at 50 °C showed much lower activity, which decreased sharply with increasing 1-hexene concentration in the monomer feed. Copolymer formed at 50 °C showed blocky sequence distribution and broad mo- lecular weight distribution. A mechanism model based on ligand rotation hindered by the propagation chain has been proposed to qualitatively explain the observed phenomena.

STUDY ON 1-HEXENE POLYMERIZATION BASED ON ZIEGLER-NATTA CATALYSTS WITH DOPED SUPPORT

A series of Ti/Mg supported catalysts are prepared by using ball-milled mixtures of MgCl2-ethanol adducts and NaCl as supports, and 1-hexene polymerizations catalyzed by the novel catalysts are studied. It is found that the molecular weight distribution of poly(1-hexene) becomes apparently narrower when catalysts with doped supports are used, indicating that changing the structure of the support is an effective way to regulate the active center distribution of heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst.

Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium for Extraction of Benzene from 1-Hexene Using Two Different Solvents

Two different solvents had been used to separate benzene from 1-hexene under atmosphere pressure by employing one of the following two solvents, viz.: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 298.15 K and 318.15 K, and furfural at 298.15 K. A series of liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data had been obtained and the distribution coefficient together with the separation factor were calculated from them. Both the NRTL and the UNIQUAC models could fit in with the experimental data quite well.

Thermodynamic Investigation on the Pyrolysis of 1-Hexene

The pyrolysis of 1-hexene can act as a prototype of pyrolytic mechanism in petro- leum processing. Details of C-C bond cleavage in the 1-hexene pyrolysis were investigated at the MP2/6-31 I＋＋G^＊＊ basis set level. The equilibrium geometries and key thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energies and thermal enthalpies were gained. Our theoretical results show that the entropy effect plays a significant role in dissociative processes. The dissociation of 1-hexene-4-yl radical into C4H6 and C2H5 is not an H-transfer and C-C rupture elementary reaction, but a process involving H-transfer and C-C rupture.

Copolymerization of 1-butene and 1-hexene with supported titanium catalyst

With TiCl4/MgCl2(Ti)and Al(i-Bu)3(Al)as catalysts,the thermoplastic copolymer of 1-butene(Bt)and 1-hexene(He)was synthesized successfully.The effects of Bt/He,Ti/(He+Bt),Al/Ti,temperature and reaction time on conversion,catalyst efficiency(CE),intrinsic viscosity([g])and insoluble content were studied.The copolymer was analyzed with Fourier transform-infrared(FTIR)and nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR).Results showed that the optimal polymerization conditions were:He/Bt=0.25,temperature 40℃–50℃,Al/Ti=400–500,Ti/(Bt+He)=3x10-5-4x10-5,time 4 h.Intrinsic viscosity was found to increase with increasing Ti/(Bt+He)and decreasing Al/Ti and polymerization temperature.When the molar content of He,Al/Ti and polymerization temperature increased,the insoluble content in CH2Cl2 of copolymers decreased.When Ti/(Bt+He)and reaction time increased,the insoluble con-tent in CH2Cl2 of copolymers also increased.The crystal-lization and stereoregularity of poly(1-butene)decreased with the addition of He.

EFFECTS OF EXTERNAL DONOR ON ACTIVE CENTER DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPORTED ZIEGLER-NATTA CATALYST

The composition distribution (CD) and microisotacticity distribution (ID) of propene/1-hexene copolymer synthesized by MgCl2/DIBP/TiCl4 (DIBP: diisobutyl phthalate) were determined by fractionating the copolymers according to crystallinity and characterizing the fractions by (CNMR)-C-13. The effects of two alkoxysilane donors, triethoxyphenylsilane (PTES) and dimethoxydi-tert-butylsilane (TBMS), on CD and ID of the copolymers were compared. Three main parts in the CD diagram of each copolymer were distinguished, which were correlated to active center distribution (ACD) based on three groups of different active centers. By studying the changes in l-hexene content, microisotacticity and reactivity ratio product of three typical fractions, the effects of external donor on ACD were better elucidated. It was found that TBMS shows much stronger effects on ACD than PTES. In the former system, most fractions were produced on active centers with relatively lower r(1)r(2), higher reactivity to I-hexene, and higher stereospecificity as compared to the system without external donor. It is concluded that the observed very extensive changes in ACD are mainly resulted by the formation of new types of active centers, possibly by coordination of external donor to certain positions on the catalyst.

Aromatic compounds-mediated synthesis of anatase-free hierarchical TS-1 zeolite:Exploring design strategies via machine learning and enhanced catalytic performance

Simultaneous achievement of constructing mesopores and eliminating anatase is a long-term pursuit for enhancing the catalytic performance of TS-1.Here,we developed an aromatic compounds-mediated synthesis method to prepare anatase-free and hierarchical TS-1 for olefin epoxidation.A series of hierarchical TS-1 zeolites were prepared by introducing aromatic compounds containing different functional groups via the crystallization process.The formation of intercrystalline mesopores and insertion of titanium into framework were facilitated at different extent.The synergistic coordination of carboxyl and hydroxyl in aromatic compounds with Ti(OH)4 realizes the uniform distribution of titanium species and eliminates the generation of anatase.Noteworthily,eight machine learning models were trained to reveal the mechanism of additive functional groups and preparation conditions on anatase formation and microstructure optimization.The prediction accuracy of most models can reach more than 80%.Benefiting from the larger mesopore volumes(0.37 cm3⋅g−1)and higher content of framework Ti species,TS-DHBDC-48h samples exhibit a higher catalytic performance than other zeolites,giving 1-hexene conversion of 49.3%and 1,2-epoxyhenane selectivity of 99.9%.The paper provides a facile aromatic compounds-mediated synthesis strategy and promotes the application of machine learning toward the design and optimization of new zeolites.

Enantiomeric Binaphtyl-brided SALEN Zirconium Complexes as Catalysts for Stereoselective Polymerization of Chiral Olefins

1 Results Chiral Schiff-base complexes have been used as catalysts for several stereoselective organic transformations,but they have never been tested for the polymerization of chiral olefins.The preferential polymerization of a single monomeric enantiomer (stereoselective polymerization) pursues two intriguing goals: i) the development of polymeric materials with peculiar optical or physical properties and ii) the kinetic resolution of racemic alkenes.
