Differences between Zn/HZSM-5 and Zn/HZSM-11 zeolite catalysts in alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether

HZSM-11 zeolite supported Zn catalysts with different Zn contents （xZn/HZSM-11A） were prepared. In the alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether （DME） in a fixed bed reactor, the catalyst with Zn content of 6 wt% （6Zn/HZSM-11A） showed appropriate performance. Focus was put on the comparison between 6Zn/HZSM-5 and 6Zn/HZSM-11 with the same crystal size of 600-800 nm, and also with the similar BET surface area, micropore volume, Si/Al2 molar ratio, and acidity. In the alkylation of benzene with DME, the 6Zn/HZSM-11 showed better activity and stability, and especially enhanced the conversion of benzene and selectivities to xylene and trimethylbenzene, compared with the 6Zn/HZSM-5. This was mainly related to the higher adsorption capacity and adsorption-desorption rates to the three adsorbates （benzene, m-xylene and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene） over the 6Zn/HZSM-11 in comparison with the 6Zn/HZSM-5.

Shaped binderless ZSM-11 zeolite catalyst prepared via a dry-gel conversion method:Characterization and application for alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether

Shaped binderless ZSM-11 zeolite catalysts were synthesized via a dry-gel conversion technique from 70ZSM-11/30 SiO;mix extrudates. 1,6-hexanediamine combined with tetrabutylammonium bromide was proved to be the best structure directing agent for the synthesis of the binderless ZSM-11 catalyst, without adding other alkaline materials. The 70HZSM-11/30 SiO;mix serials materials crystallized for different times were detected by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, scanning transmission electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopy（STEM–EDS） techniques, and so on. In order to investigate the possible crystallization mechanism, the textural and structural properties of 70HZSM-11/30 SiO;mix serials samples were further characterized by N;adsorption–desorption. Acid properties were determined by temperature-programed desorption of NH;（NH;-TPD） and pyridine adsorption-infrared（Py-IR） measurements. In the alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether, the serials catalysts exhibited different benzene conversions. 70HZSM-11/30 SiO;mix showed the lowest benzene conversion while sample 70HZSM-11/30 SiO;mix-6.5h synthesized only for 6.5h displayed a higher benzene conversion, even higher than the value over 70HZSM-11/30Al;O;mix. Extending the crystallization time, the obtained samples displayed the increased benzene conversion in general under the same reaction conditions. In the end, the relation of physicochemical properties with the reaction performance was investigated.

Studies on the Surface Interaction Between MoO_3 and ZSM-11 Zeolite

A series of Mo-containing ZSM-11 zeolite catalysts has been prepared by calcining mixtures of MoO3 and ZSM-11 zeolite, and studied by using X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. It has been found that MoO3 can be well dispersed on ZSM-11 zeolite as a surface molybdenum species, and mostly within the zeolite cavities. With increasing the amount of dispersed MoO3, the zeolite framework is destroyed, and the crystallinity of the zeolite decreases. It seems that this perturbation is due to the strong interaction between dispersed MoO3 and zeolite framework.

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.

通过晶种辅助法合成ZSM-11分子筛,并对其进行碱处理从而制备了改性样品ZSM-11-AT.采用XRD、N2吸附和脱附、XRF、TEM、NH3-TPD和Py-IR等表征手段对样品ZSM-5、ZSM-11和ZSM-11-AT的物化性质进行了表征和对比分析,发现改性样品ZSM-11-AT的比表面积、孔隙结构和酸性质均得到了改善.采用固定床反应装置对样品的催化裂化性能进行了评价,对样品ZSM-5、ZSM-11和ZSM-11-AT的反应物转化率和产物分布进行了对比研究.结果表明,ZSM-11和ZSM-11-AT在烯烃乙烯和丙烯产率方面优于ZSM-5.与ZSM-11相比,ZSM-11-AT的催化性能得到了进一步的提高.

甲醇制烯烃反应中多级孔ZSM-11基成型催化剂制备及其应用研究

采用自主合成的多级孔ZSM-11为活性组分,结合X射线衍射、N2吸/脱附及吡啶吸附傅里叶变换红外光谱等分析,在实验室小试实验装置上考察了ZSM-11基成型催化剂制备过程中,载体、粘结剂和分子筛三者的协同效应。采用喷雾造粒法对催化剂进行放大生产,并在中试试验装置上评价了ZSM-11工业剂的甲醇制烯烃反应性能。结果表明,载体和粘结剂的结构性质对甲醇制烯烃反应性能影响较小,骨架中四配位铝羟基产生的L酸性位是导致甲醇分解、氢转移和积炭反应的主要因素,故ZSM-11基成型催化剂中的载体选取双层二八面体结构的高岭土,粘结剂选择硅溶胶。中试实验结果表明,反应300 h内甲醇转化率维持在96.1%~99.9%。催化剂稳定性好,产物中丙烯、乙烯及丁烯收率分别维持在16.0%、3.4%和7.8%左右,实现了甲醇向烯烃的高效转化。

ZSM-11和ZSM-5分子筛孔道结构差异对其甲醇制烯烃催化性能的影响

本工作采用水热合成法制备了具有相似形貌、粒径、织构性质和酸性的ZSM-11和ZSM-5分子筛,借助多种表征技术研究了这两类分子筛的十元环孔道结构差异对其甲醇转化制烯烃(MTO)催化性能的影响。结果表明,由于ZSM-5的正弦孔道比ZSM-11的直孔道的扩散阻力大,反应中间体和产物分子在ZSM-5分子筛上的停留时间较长,强化了长链烯烃氢转移反应,导致生成更多的甲基苯物种,从而增强了芳烃循环的贡献;相比之下,ZSM-11分子筛的直孔道限制了长链烯烃的氢转移反应,减少了多甲基苯物种的产生,有利于提高烯烃循环的贡献。因此,与具有相似形貌、粒径、织构性质和酸性的ZSM-5-60分子筛相比,ZSM-11-60分子筛对MTO反应具有更长的催化寿命(98.3 h对比65.4h)和更高的丙烯选择性(34.6%对比27.4%)。这些结果深化了对分子筛MTO催化性能与其孔道结构关系的认识,有助于新型高效的甲醇转化分子筛催化剂的开发和反应过程的探索。

Hydroisomerization performance of platinum supported on ZSM-22/ZSM-23 intergrowth zeolite catalyst

Hydroisomerization catalysts Pt/ZSM-22, Pt/ZSM-23, and Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 were prepared by supporting Pt on ZSM-22, ZSM-23, and intergrowth zeolite ZSM-22/ZSM-23, respectively. The typical physicochemical properties of these catalysts were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, N2 absorption-desorption, Pyridine-Fourier Transform Infrared （Py-FTIR）, Transmission Electron Microscopy （TEM）, X-Ray Fluorescence （XRF）, Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM） and NH3- Temperature Programmed Desorption （NH3-TPD）, and the performance of these catalysts in n-dodecane hydroisomerization was evaluated in a continuous down-flow fixed bed with a stainless steel tubular reactor. The characterization results indicated that the intergrowth zeolite ZSM-22/ZSM-23 possessed the dual structure of ZSM-22 and ZSM-23, and the catalyst Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 had similar pores and weak acidity to Pt/ZSM-22 and Pt/ZSM-23 catalysts. Moreover, Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 catalyst showed a high selectivity in hydroisomerization of long chain n-alkanes to mono-branched isomers. The evaluation results for n-dodecane hydroisomerization indicated that the activity of Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 was the lowest, while the hydroisomerization selectivity was the highest among the three catalysts. The maximum yield of i-dodecane product was 68.3% over Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 at 320 ℃.

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.

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.

Synthesis of ZSM-22/SAPO-11 composite molecular sieve-based catalysts with small crystallites and superior n-alkane hydroisomerization performance

To improve oil quality,ZSM-22/SAPO-11 composite molecular sieves were synthesized by adding ZSM-22 into a synthetic gel of SAPO-11 for n-decane hydroisomerization.The mass ratios of ZSM-22/(ZSM-22+SAPO-11)in the composite molecular sieves were optimized and the optimal ZSM-22/SAPO-11 composite(ZS-9)was obtained.The electrostatic repulsions between the ZSM-22 precursors and the SAPO-11 crystalline nuclei produced small ZSM-22 and SAPO-11 crystallites in ZS-9,which increased the specific surface area and mesopore volume and thereby exposed more acid sites.In comparison with conventional SAPO-11,ZSM-22 and their mechanical mixture,ZS-9 with smaller crystallites and the optimal medium and strong Brønsted acid centers(MSBAC)content displayed a higher yield of branched C_(10) isomers(81.6%),lower cracking selectivity(11.9%)and excellent stability.The correlation between the i-C_(10) selectivity and the MSBAC density of molecular sieves indicated that the selectivity for branched C_(10) isomers first increased and then decreased with increasing MSBAC density on the molecular sieves,and the maximum selectivity(87.7%)occurred with a density of 9.6×10^(−2)μmol m^(−2).

Synthesis and Characterization of ZSM-5/β Co-Crystalline Zeolite

ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolites with different content of ZSM-5 have beensynthesized by adding different amount of ZSM-5 to the synthetic system of β zeolite with NaAlO_2,silica sol as the source of aluminum and silica, respectively, and TEA^+ as the template undercontrolled condition of the synthesis. The ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolite was studied by XRD, SEM,BET and NH_3-TPD. The reaction activity of toluene alkylation was investigated with a mixture oftoluene-methanol as the feedstock in a pulse micro-reactor over the ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolite.It is found that ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolite has two kinds of zeolite structure including ZSM-5and β zeolite, not in the form of a physical mixture. The pore structure of ZSM-5/βco-crystalline zeolites is different from that for β zeolite, ZSM-5 and their physical mixture. Inaddition, the peaks of both high and low temperature desorption of ammonia over the ZSM-5/βco-crystalline zeolite shift 23℃ to lower temperatures and the acid amount of its strong acid is 3%more than the physical mixture. So the ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolite produces the highest contentof xylene, which is 10.4% higher than the physical mixture. And the ZSM-5/β co-crystalline zeolitehas better selectivity for toluene alkylation and weaker de-methylation than β zeolite, ZSM-5 andtheir physical mixture.

Effect of Alkali Treatment on the Structure and Catalytic Properties of ZSM-5 Zeolite

Catalytic properties of ZSM-5 zeolite samples pretreated with NaOH solution have been investigated. The samples are characterized by XRD, SEM, chemical analysis, and N2 adsorption. The results indicate that mesopores are created in ZSM-5 crystals under alkali treatment without change the microporous structure and acidic strength of the zeolite, but the crystallinity is greatly decreased under severe treatment. IR indicates that the concentration of silanol is greatly enriched by alkali treatment. The etherification activities of ZSM-5 zeolites are greatly increased by alkali-treatment. The noticeably improved catalytic activity of treated samples is ascribed to the formation of mesopores and greatly enriched silanol group.

Catalytic Desulfurization of n-Butyl-sulfide over HZSM-5 Zeolite in the Presence of a Hydrogen Provider

The catalytic desulfurization of a model organic sulfurous compound n-butyl-sulfide in a fixed bed microreactor is studied in the presence of catalyst and a hydrogen provider. The experimental results show that the appropriate reaction conditions are： a mixed catalyst of HZSM-5 zeolite and Co-Mo/Al2O3-TiO2, a reaction temperature of 300℃, atmosphere pressure, a feed speed of 50 mL/h and a mass hourly space velocity of 3.0 h^-1 A higher catalytic property and desulfurization efficiency of the mixed catalyst of HZSM-5 zeolite and Co-Mo/Al2O3-TiO2 is achieved. The adsorption and desulfurization efficiency of the FCC gasoline from Shenghua Refinery, which is affiliated to China University of Petroleum （East China）, is 53.0 %.

Preparation of Mesoporous ZSM-5 Zeolite under Double Ester Base Long Carbon Chains Organosilane Quaternary Ammonium Salt Template Agent

The pore sizes of traditional zeolites are in the range of0. 3-1. 5 nm,which strongly hinder the diffusion of large reactant and product molecules within the zeolite pores. To compensate for it,we tried to create mesopores in traditional microporous zeolites and retain all advantages of microporous zeolites. Mesoporous Zeolite Socony Mobile-Five( ZSM-5) zeolite was synthesized by a new double ester base long carbon chains organosilane quaternary ammonium salt as the soft template agent in hydrothermal method.The structure of the acquired zeolite crystals was confirmed by fieldemission scanning electron microscopy( FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy( TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements and X-ray diffraction( XRD),which indicated that their structure had the same characteristics as traditional ZSM-5 zeolites. Compared with traditional ZSM-5 zeolite,there were 4 nm and 15 nm mesopores in the crystal. The prepared hierarchical porous ZSM-5 zeolite was expected to be effective catalytic materials for chemical reactions involving large molecules.

Pore Structure and Catalytic Performance of Steam-Dealuminated ZSM-5/Y Composite Zeolites

For investigating the effect of dealumination on the pore structure and catalytic performance, ZSM-5/Y composite zeolites synthesized in situ from NaY gel were dealuminated by steaming at different temperatures. XRD (X-ray diffraction) characterization indicates that the relative crystallinity of the composite zeolites decreases with the increase in Si/Al ratio after steaming. N2 adsorption-desorption suggests that more mesopores are formed while the BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) specific surface area and the micropore specific surface area decrease as the temperature of steaming rises. Daqing heavy oil was used as feedstock to test the catalytic cracking activity of ZSM-5/Y composite zeolites. The experimental results of the catalytic cracking performance reveal that the distribution of products differs due to the different conditions of hydrothermal treatment. Further hydrothermal treatment leads to an increase in the yield of light oil, and a decrease in the yield of gas products and coke.
