Effect of combining the metals of group VI supported on H-ZSM-5 zeolite as catalysts for non-oxidative conversion of natural gas to petrochemicals

The most prestigious catalyst applied in natural gas （methane） non-oxidative conversion to petrochemicals is 6%Mo/H-ZSM-5. Chromium, molybdenum and tungsten are the group VI metals. Hence, in this work, 6%Mo/H-ZSM-5 was correlated with 3%Cr＋3%Mo/H-ZSM-5 and 3%W＋3%Mo/H-ZSM-5 as catalysts to examine their promoting or inhibiting effects on the various reactions taking place during methane conversion. The catalytic activities of these catalysts were tested in a continuous flow fixed bed reactor at 700℃ and a GHSV of 1500 ml·g^-1·h^-1 Characterization of the catalysts using XRD, TGA and TPD were investigated. XRD and NH3-TPD showed greater interaction between the W-phase and the Bronsted acid sites in the channels of the zeolite than between Cr-phase and the acid sites in the zeolite.

Optimization of hydrothermal synthesis of H-ZSM-5 zeolite for dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether using full factorial design

H-ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The effects of different synthesis parameters, such as hydrothermal crystallization temperature （170-190 ℃） and Si/A1 molar ratio （100-150）, on the catalytic performance of the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether （DME） over the synthesized H-ZSM-5 zeolite were studied. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, NH3-TPD, TGA/DTA, and SEM techniques. The full factorial design of experiments was applied to the synthesis of H-ZSM-5 zeolite and the effects of synthesis conditions and their interaction on the yield of DME as the response variable were determined. Analysis of variance showed that two variables and their interaction significantly affected the response. According to the experimental results, the optimized catalyst prepared at 170℃ with the Si/A1 molar ratio of 100 showed the best catalytic performance among the tested H-ZSM-5 zeolite.

Removal of Organochlorine from Model Oil Using Mg-Modified ZSM-5 Zeolite:Dechlorination Performance,Regeneration,and Thermodynamics

Various metal-modified ZSM-5 zeolite adsorbents prepared by the impregnation method were applied to the removal of organic chlorides from model naphtha.The adsorption performance and regeneration stability were investigated by static adsorption experiments.The morphologies,structural features,and physicochemical properties of the adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction,Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis,NH3 temperature-programmed desorption,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy.The Mg/ZSM-5 zeolite adsorbent possessed a relatively high specific surface area and good metal dispersion and exhibited the best dechlorination and regeneration performance.The characterization results revealed that introduction of the metal exerted a significant influence on the acidic properties of the catalyst surface.A decrease in the ratio of Brønsted acidic sites to Lewis acidic sites and an increase in the amount of moderately acidic sites were confirmed to be responsible for the excellent adsorption performance of the Mg-modified ZSM-5 zeolite.Furthermore,the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was applied to study the adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics of the Mg/ZSM-5 adsorbent under mild conditions.The results revealed that the removal of 1,2-dichloroethane by the Mg/ZSM-5 adsorbent was endothermic,spontaneous,disordered,and primarily involved physical adsorption.

环状ZSM-5分子筛在苯和乙醇烷基化反应中的应用

低温下采用水热晶化法合成了环状中空ZSM-5分子筛,并以磷酸二氢铵为前体,制备了不同磷负载量的环状中空ZSM-5催化剂,采用XRD,SEM,NH_(3)-TPD,Py-FTIR等方法对催化剂进行表征,并在气相连续流动固定床反应器上对苯和乙醇烷基化制乙苯进行性能评价和稳定性考察。实验结果表明,环状中空ZSM-5催化剂进行磷改性后,催化剂的酸强度降低,随着磷负载量的增加,乙苯选择性逐渐增加,甲苯和丙苯选择性逐渐降低;当磷负载量达到3%(w)后,催化剂外表面强酸位基本消失,此时乙苯选择性最高;在n(苯)∶n(乙醇)=8∶1、340℃、1.0 MPa、WHSV=1 h^(-1)条件下,对该催化剂进行了寿命考察,在300 h反应过程中,乙醇转化率超过99.9%,苯的转化率维持在11%左右,乙基苯的选择性最高达到98.4%,二甲苯相对含量最低达到0.11%。

Effects of Light Rare Earth on Acidity and Catalytic Performance of HZSM-5 Zeolite for Catalytic Cracking of Butane to Light Olefins

The effects of rare earth（RE）on the structure,acidity,and catalytic performance of HZSM-5 zeolite were investigated.A series of RE/HZSM-5 catalysts,containing 7.54% RE（RE=La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Sm,Eu or Gd）,were prepared by the impregnation of the ZSM-5 type zeolites（Si/Al=64：1）with the corresponding RE nitrate aqueous solutions.The catalysts were characterized by means of FT-IR,UV-Vis,NH3-TPD,and IR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine.The catalytic performances of the RE/HZSM-5 for the catalytic cracking of mixed butane to light olefins were also measured with a fixed bed microreactor.The results revealed that the addition of light rare earth metal on the HZSM-5 catalyst greatly enhanced the selectivity to olefins,especially to propylene,thus increasing the total yield of olefins in the catalytic cracking of butane.Among the RE-modified HZSM-5 samples,Ce/HZSM-5 gave the highest yield of total olefins,and Nd/HZSM-5 gave the highest yield of propene at a reaction temperature of 600℃.The presence of rare earth metal on the HZSM-5 sample,not only modified the acidic properties of HZSM-5 including the amount of acid sites and acid type,that is,the ratio of L/B（Lewis acid/Brnsted acid）,but also altered the basic properties of it,which in turn promoted the catalytic performance of HZSM-5 for the catalytic cracking of butane.

Aromatization over nanosized Ga-containing ZSM-5 zeolites prepared by different methods:Effect of acidity of active Ga species on the catalytic performance

Nanosized Ga-containing ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared via isomorphous substitution and impregnation followed by characterized using various techniques. The catalytic performance of the zeolites for the aromatization of 1-hexene was investigated. The results indicate that isomorphous substitution promotes the incorporation of Ga heteroatoms into the framework along with the formation of extra-framework GaO;species（[GaO;]a） that have stronger interactions with the negative potential of the framework. In addition, based on the Py-IR results and catalytic performance, the [GaO;]aspecies with stronger Lewis acid sites produced a better synergism with moderate Br?nsted acid sites and thus improved the selectivity to aromatic compounds. However, the impregnation results in the formation of Ga;O;phase and small amounts of GaO;species that are mainly located on the external surface（[GaO;];）, which contribute to weaker Lewis acid sites due to weaker interactions with the zeolite framework. During 1-hexene aromatization, the nanosized Ga isomorphously substituted ZSM-5 zeolite samples（Gax-NZ5） exhibited better catalytic performance compared to the impregnated samples, and the highest aromatic yield（i.e.,65.4 wt%） was achieved over the Ga4.2-NZ5 sample, which contained with the highest Ga content.

Adsorption of Benzene and Propylene in Zeolite ZSM-5:Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations

The adsorption behavior of benzene and propylene in zeolite ZSM-5 was studied by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo（GCMC） simulations. It could be found that benzene and propylene molecules showed different adsorption behavior in the zeolite cavities. The loadings of propylene were significantly larger than those of benzene at 100 kPa. From the figures of potential energy distribution, the potential energy of benzene/zeolite was more negative than that of propylene/zeolite, so benzene could be adsorbed more stably than propylene. When the temperature was in- creased from 298 to 443 K at 100 kPa, the loading ofpropylene was reduced from 99 to 82 molecules, whereas that of benzene changed little. When benzene and propylene were adsorbed in zeolite simultaneously, the competitive adsorption of them occurred; therefore, the potential energy distribution could be changed significantly. Besides, the adsorption isotherms of benzene and propylene in ZSM-5 at 298 and 443 K were simulated. The results exhibit that the different factors influenced the molecular adsorption at various temperatures and pressures, leading to the diffe- rent rules for the adsorption of benzene and propylene molecules in the zeolite. At a low pressure, the unfavorable energy of propylene/zeolite and the ＂commensurate freezing＂ phenomenon of benzene would make the loadings of itself higher than those of propylene. When pressure was higher than 5 kPa, the adsorption of benzene in ZSM-5 would nearly reach saturation.

等级孔结构协同Fe改性提升ZSM-5分子筛催化苯甲醇烷基化性能

针对ZSM-5分子筛微孔扩散限制和催化活性位单一的问题,使用有序大孔-介孔碳模板为硬模板并结合原位引入金属策略,一步晶化合成了具有高结晶度、高比表面积的有序贯通大孔-介孔-微孔等级结构的Fe/ZSM-5分子筛单晶.通过X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见光谱(UV-Vis)、H_(2)程序升温还原实验(H2-TPR)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等手段对催化剂中活性Fe的存在形式进行了表征.结果表明,该材料中位于离子交换位及铁氧八面体(六配位)的孤立Fe(III)是主要的氧化还原活性中心,当Fe负载量(质量分数)为1%时,苯甲醇转化率最高为59.3%,产物选择性为83.2%,最终收率达到49.3%,在循环使用5次后仍保持高催化活性.

Effects of Calcination Temperature on the Acidity and Catalytic Performances of HZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts for the Catalytic Cracking of n-Butane

The acidic modulations of a series of HZSM-5 catalysts were successfully made by calcination at different treatment temperatures, i.e. 500, 600, 650, 700 and 800 ℃, respectively. The results indicated that the total acid amounts, their density and the amount of B-type acid of HZSM-5 catalysts rapidly decreased, while the amounts of L-type acid had almost no change and thus the ratio of L/B was obviously enhanced with the increase of calcination temperature （excluding 800 ℃）. The catalytic performances of modified HZSM-5 catalysts for the cracking of n-butane were also investigated. The main properties of these catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, N2 adsorption at low temperature, NH3-TPD, FTIR of pyridine adsorption and BET surface area measurements. The results showed that HZSM-5 zeolite pretreated at 800 ℃ had very low catalytic activity for n-butane cracking. In the calcination temperature range of 500-700 ℃, the total selectivity to olefins, propylene and butene were increased with the increase of calcination temperature, while, the selectivity for arene decreased with the calcination temperature. The HZSM-5 zeolite calcined at 700 ℃ produced light olefins with high yield, at the reaction temperature of 650 ℃ the yields of total olefins and ethylene were 52.8% and 29.4%, respectively. Besides, the more important role is that high calcination temperature treatment improved the duration stability of HZSM-5 zeolites. The effect of calcination temperature on the physico-chemical properties and catalytic performance of HZSM-5 for cracking of n-butane was explored. It was found that the calcination temperature had large effects on the surface area, crystallinity and acid properties of HZSM-5 catalyst, which further affected the catalytic performance for n-butane cracking.

Synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite membranes without organic templates using a varying-concentration technique

Template-free nanosized ZSM-5 seeds with an average size of 15 nm were prepared from a synthesis solution with the composition 12Na2O∶100SiO2∶2Al2O3∶2500H2O. By the use of these seeds, thin ZSM-5 zeolite membranes were prepared on the outer surface of a porous α-alumina tube with a pore size of 2 μm in a gel system by varying-concentration synthesis with organic-free template. The first composition synthesis sol-gel was the same as seeds of molar composition and the second one was 12Na2O∶100SiO2∶2Al2O3∶5000H2O at 180 ℃ for 10 h, respectively. XRD shows that the film consists of well-crystallized ZSM-5 zeolite. SEM investigation indicats that the zeolite films on the supports are defect free and the film thickness is approximately 8 μm. The permeances for H2, N2, CH4 and CO2 are 8.94×10-7, 3.27×10-7, 3.9×10-7, 3.14×10-7 and 0.874×10-7 mol·m2·s-1·Pa-1, respectively. The ideal selectivity of membrane at room temperature for H2/CO2, H2/N2, H2/CH4 are 2.84, 2.73 and 2.29, respectively.

Isomerization of linear C5–C7 over Pt loaded on protonated fibrous silica@Y zeolite（Pt/HSi@Y）

A novel fibrous silica Y zeolite (HSi@Y) loaded with Pt has been studied based on its ability to produce protonic acid sites originating from molecular hydrogen. The Pt/HSi@Y was prepared using seed assisted crystallization followed by protonation and Pt-loading. The product formed had a spherical morphology with bicontinuous lamellar with a diameter in the range of 500-700 nm. The catalytic activity of the Pt/HSi@Y has been assessed based on light linear alkane (C5-C7) isomerization in a micro-catalytic pulse reactor at 423-623 K. A pyridine IR study confirmed that the introduction of fibrous silica on Y zeolite increased the Lewis acid sites corresponding with the formation of extra-framework Al which led to the generation of more protonic acid sites. A hydrogen adsorbed IR study showed that the protonic acid sites which act as active sites in the isomerization were formed via dissociative-adsorption of molecular hydrogen releasing electrons to the nearby Lewis acid sites. Thus, it is suggested that the presence of Pt and HSi@Y with a high number of Lewis acid as well as weak Bronsted acid sites improved the activity and stability in C5, C6 and C7 isomerization via hydrogen spill-over mechanism.

Influence of the post-treatment of HZSM-5 zeolite on catalytic performance for alkylation of benzene with methanol

The porous material HZSM-5 zeolite with micro-mesopore hierarchical porosity was prepared by post-treatment(combined alkali treatment and acid leaching) of parent zeolite and its catalytic performance for benzene alkylation with methanol was investigated. The effect of post-treatment on the textural properties was characterized by various techniques(including ICP-AES, XRD, nitrogen sorption isotherms, SEM, NH3-TPD, Py-IR and TG). The results indicated that the post-treatment could modify the structural and acidic properties of HZSM-5 zeolite. In this procedure, not only additional mesopores were created by selective extraction of silicon but also the acidity was tuned. Consequently, the modified HZSM-5 zeolite showed larger external surface area with less acid sites as compared to the parent zeolite. It was found out that the modified zeolite exhibited a higher benzene conversion and xylene selectivity for alkylation of benzene with methanol as well as excellent life span of the catalyst than conventional ones. This can be explained by the facts that the presence of additional mesopores improved the diffusion property in the reactions. Furthermore, the modified zeolite showed an appropriate Br?nsted acidity for effective suppression of the side reaction of methanol to olefins, thus reduced the accumulation of coke on the HZSM-5 zeolite, which was favorable for the catalyst stability. In comparison with the parent HZSM-5 zeolite,the modified zeolite by alkali treatment and acid leaching showed better performance for the benzene alkylation with methanol.

单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛酸性质对正庚烷催化裂解反应传质性能的影响

采用L-赖氨酸作为介孔模板剂,通过调控铝源(偏铝酸钠)添加量改变分子筛硅铝比,在单晶分子筛内部引入晶内介孔,成功地合成了一系列具有不同硅铝比的单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛,研究了其酸性质对正庚烷催化裂解反应传质性能的影响。利用X射线衍射(XRD)、N2物理吸附、氨气程序升温脱附(NH_(3)-TPD)、吡啶红外(Py-IR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)等表征了单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛的物理结构、酸性质和微观形貌。同时,利用零长柱(ZLC)装置测试获取了正庚烷在单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛中的表观扩散系数,用于反映其传质性能。研究结果表明,随着硅铝比的提高,单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛的物理结构基本保持一致;传质性能随酸量的减少而提升,催化裂解性能随酸量的增加而提高。当单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛的Si/Al从80提高至140,正庚烷的表观扩散系数提升了87%以上;当单晶多级孔ZSM-5分子筛的Si/Al=80时,正庚烷的转化率最高可达97.5%,乙烯和丙烯的选择性分别为24.3%和35.1%。

Comparison on Adsorptive Separation of n-Paraffins Based on Binderless and Binder-containing Zeolite 5A Pellets

Binderless zeolite is considered to be a potential alternative for binder-containing zeolite in the industrial applications of adsorptive separation process. Synthesized binderless zeolite and commercial binder-containing product were used in adsorptive separation of n-paraffins from a model oil, with their performance compared. It is indicated that the binderless zeolite exhibits by 25%-35% higher in saturated adsorption capacity and by 115%-130% more adsorption amount at the breakthrough point with much shorter length of mass-transfer zone. Adsorptive separation of n-paraffins from naphtha was carried out in a fixed-bed adsorber containing the synthesized binderless zeolite 5 A under the operating conditions covering a feed space velocity of 90 h-1 and an adsorption temperature of 573 K. As compared to original naphtha, the raffinate shows by 34 units more in research octane number and by around 10% more of potential aromatic content, while the desorption oil exhibits by 13.3% more ethylene yield and by 11.7% higher in total olefins yield.
