The results indicated that the isopentane yield of the fresh Zn-Fe-SZA-F catalyst was about 57% at the beginning of the run, and declined gradually to 50% within 1500 min, then fell rapidly from 50% to 40% between 1500 and 2500 minutes. The deactivation of Zn-Fe-SZA catalyst may be caused by carbon formation on surface of the catalyst, sulfate group attenuation owing to reduction by hydrogen, removal of sulfur species and the loss of strong acid sites. It was found that the initial catalytic activity over Zn-Fe-SZA-T catalyst was 48%, which recovered by 84.3% as compared to that of fresh catalyst (57%). However, it showed a sharp decrease in isopentane yield from 48% to 29% within 1500 minutes, showing poor stability. This is associated to the loss of acidity caused by removal of sulfur species cannot be basically restored by thermal treatment. Resulfating the calcined catalyst could improve the acidity of catalyst significantly, especially strong acid sites, as compared with the calcined sample. The improved stability of the resulfated catalyst can be explained by: 1) eliminaton of carbon deposition to some extent by calcination process, 2) formation of improved acidic nature by re-sulfation, favoring isomerization on acidic sites, 3) restructuring of the acid and metal sites via the calcination-re-sulfation procedure.展开更多

The result showed that the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm of the zeolite composites had a distinct hysteresis loop, and the SEM result showed that the zeolite composites had a different morphology from Y, β and the corresponding physical zeolite mixture. The acid catalytic performance of the zeolite composite catalysts was investigated in the hydrocracking and hydroisomerization of n-octane, and the results showed that the composite materials exhibited an excellent hydrocracking activity and good hydroisomerization performance. The yield of i-C4 over the zeolite composite catalyst was 4.45% higher than that on the corresponding zeolite mixture in the n-octane hydrocracking process at 553 K. The isomerization ability of n-octane over the composite catalyst was 3.6 fold that of the corresponding mixture at 503 K.展开更多

Powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, transmission electron microscopy, temperatureprogrammed reduction of hydrogen, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. The catalytic performance of the catalysts was assessed by the hydroisomerization of n-octane. Results indicated that the conversion of n-octane and selectivity to n-octane isomers were related to the preparation methods of the catalysts. The catalysts with Ni-Cu alloy effectively restrained the hydrogenolysis reaction that decreases the selectivity of isomerization. The catalyst prepared by the mechanical mixing of NiO and CuO hardly formed Ni-Cu alloy, showing obvious hydrogenolysis and low selectivity to n-octane isomers. The unbalance between the metal and acid sites resulted in the low conversion of n-octane and selectivity to n-octane isomers. Among all the catalysts,the catalyst prepared by the co-impregnation method exhibited high catalytic activity and selectivity to n-octane isomers.展开更多

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 ℃.展开更多

In this study, a catalyst support, mordenite (MOR)/silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO)-11 composite zeolite with core/shell structure, was synthesized by hydrothermal method with MOR acting as the seed for crystallization. The crystal structure, elemental composition, surface area, pore volume, and acidity of the catalyst was thoroughly characterized. In addition, the catalytic performance of the as-obtained Pt/MOR/SAPO-11 in the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane was tested. The results indicated that the properties and catalytic performance of the composite molecular sieve were quite different from those of the pure zeolites and physical mixture of MOR and SAPO-11 (MOR+SAPO-11). Compared with the physical mixture, MOR and SAPO-11 were more tightly bound in MOR/SAPO-11 because of chemical bonding. Moreover, the acidity and pore structure were favorable to the catalytic hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. Pt/MOR/SAPO-11 exhibited higher isomerization activity than the Pt-loaded pristine MOR and MOR+SAPO-11. Thus, the core-shell composite molecular sieve has promising industrial applications as the catalyst support.展开更多

Their physicochemical properties were characterized using XRD,SEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, Py-IR, NH;-TPD, EDS, and;Al,;P,;Si MAS NMR techniques. The catalytic performance was assessed in the hydroisomerization of n-octane. The results showed that the silicon precursors influenced the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of SAPO-11. SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor showed higher silicon distribution and had more medium acid sites. SAPO-11 synthesized using TEOS as silicon precursor had more silicon content, but more silicon islands formed in its framework. The depolymerization of silicon precursors might affect the silicon content and distribution in SAPO-11. In the hydroisomerization of n-octane, the catalytic activity strongly depended on the number of medium acid sites instead of the number of total acid sites.SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor exhibited higher catalytic activity than the other samples because it has more medium acid sites.展开更多

The obtained samples were highly crystallized with minor mixed phases as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The alkaline treated ZSM-48 zeolites maintained its structure under different concentrations of Na OH aqueous solution. Micropores remained unchanged while mesopores with wide pore size distribution formed after the alkaline treatment. The surface area increased from 228 to 288 m;/g. The Br?nsted acid sites had little alteration while an obvious increase of Lewis acid sites was observed. The hydroisomerization of hexadecane was performed as the model reaction to test the effects of the alkali treatment. The conversion of hexadecane had almost no change, which was attributed to the preservation of the Br?nsted acid sites. While high selectivity to iso-hexadecane with an improved iso to normal ratio of alkanes was due to the mesopore formation and improved diffusivity.展开更多

Characterization results showed that the specific surface area, pore volume, and acid amount of the catalyst Pt/HY-β all decreased compared to the original zeolite. The catalytic performance of this catalyst in n-octane hydroisomerization was investigated in a fixed bed stainless steel tubular reactor. The results showed that at a hydrogen/n-octane volume ratio of 1000, pressure of 0.6 MPa, temperature of 230 ℃ and LHSV of 3 h^-1, the conversion of n-octane, yield of liquid, hydrocracking rate and yield of iso-octane were 52.32%, 88.66%, 12.60%, 39.51%, respectively.展开更多

Binder shaping can noticeably influence not only the structure and acidity of catalyst and improve its catalytic performance with regard to n-heptane isomerization, but the mechanical strength of the catalyst. A suitable binder content can improve the isomerization activity or selectivity by changing the acidity of PtWZA. The influence of the binder content depends on the WO_(3) content of the catalyst. PtWZA catalysts that contain 5%-15% binder on a dry basis exhibit favorable isomerization performance that depends on WO_(3) content. Suitable catalysts include Pt20WZ5A and Pt30WZ15A, which provide conversions of approximately 80%-90% and a selectivity of 90%. These new findings enrich researcher knowledge of the effect of the binder on the catalyst shaping process and are useful in the production of industrial catalysts.展开更多

The catalytic performance of Ni/TiO2-SAPO-11 was studied in n-heptane isomerization, and the impact of catalyst preparation conditions on n-heptane isomerization was discussed in detail. The results showed that, with 20% of TiO2 composition, 2% of Ni capacity percentage and calcined temperature at 500°C, conversion of n-heptane and isomerization selectivity was up to 40.94% and 88.97% respectively.展开更多

The results showed that introduction of appropriate content of Ce into MCM-48 could improve the crystallinity, acidity and stability of mesoporous silica. The acidity and stability of the Ni-HPW/Ce-MCM-48 catalyst was also increased. Besides, the catalytic performance of the Ni-HPW/Ce-MCM-48 catalyst for n-heptane hydroisomerization was promoted. The conversion and selectivity of the Ni-HPW/Ce-MCM-48 catalyst reached 41% and 91% respectively at the preparation conditions of 4 wt.% Ni, 20 wt.% HPW, 0.03 Ce/Si molar ratio.展开更多

文摘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 ℃.

文摘n-Alkane isomerization is a critical reaction that can affect parameters in oil refining, such as the gasoline octane number and diesel oil solidifying point. In this study, a catalyst support, mordenite (MOR)/silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO)-11 composite zeolite with core/shell structure, was synthesized by hydrothermal method with MOR acting as the seed for crystallization. The crystal structure, elemental composition, surface area, pore volume, and acidity of the catalyst was thoroughly characterized. In addition, the catalytic performance of the as-obtained Pt/MOR/SAPO-11 in the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane was tested. The results indicated that the properties and catalytic performance of the composite molecular sieve were quite different from those of the pure zeolites and physical mixture of MOR and SAPO-11 (MOR+SAPO-11). Compared with the physical mixture, MOR and SAPO-11 were more tightly bound in MOR/SAPO-11 because of chemical bonding. Moreover, the acidity and pore structure were favorable to the catalytic hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. Pt/MOR/SAPO-11 exhibited higher isomerization activity than the Pt-loaded pristine MOR and MOR+SAPO-11. Thus, the core-shell composite molecular sieve has promising industrial applications as the catalyst support.

文摘SAPO-11 molecular sieves were synthesized using silica sol, hydrophilic fumed silica, and tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) as silicon precursors. Their physicochemical properties were characterized using XRD,SEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, Py-IR, NH;-TPD, EDS, and;Al,;P,;Si MAS NMR techniques. The catalytic performance was assessed in the hydroisomerization of n-octane. The results showed that the silicon precursors influenced the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of SAPO-11. SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor showed higher silicon distribution and had more medium acid sites. SAPO-11 synthesized using TEOS as silicon precursor had more silicon content, but more silicon islands formed in its framework. The depolymerization of silicon precursors might affect the silicon content and distribution in SAPO-11. In the hydroisomerization of n-octane, the catalytic activity strongly depended on the number of medium acid sites instead of the number of total acid sites.SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor exhibited higher catalytic activity than the other samples because it has more medium acid sites.

文摘ZSM-48 zeolites with various Si/Al ratios were hydrothermally synthesized in the H;N(CH;);NH;(HDA)-containing media. The obtained samples were highly crystallized with minor mixed phases as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The alkaline treated ZSM-48 zeolites maintained its structure under different concentrations of Na OH aqueous solution. Micropores remained unchanged while mesopores with wide pore size distribution formed after the alkaline treatment. The surface area increased from 228 to 288 m;/g. The Br?nsted acid sites had little alteration while an obvious increase of Lewis acid sites was observed. The hydroisomerization of hexadecane was performed as the model reaction to test the effects of the alkali treatment. The conversion of hexadecane had almost no change, which was attributed to the preservation of the Br?nsted acid sites. While high selectivity to iso-hexadecane with an improved iso to normal ratio of alkanes was due to the mesopore formation and improved diffusivity.

文摘The Ni/SAPO-11 catalyst used for n-hexane hydroisomerization was prepared via a novel two-step crystallization strategy.It involves introduction of nickel salt into the pre-crystalized system of SAPO-11 by grinding followed by a second crystallization step.No extra solvent is introduced during the whole synthesis procedure which reduces waste liquid emissions significantly.More importantly,interaction between nickel and support is effectively regulated by the novel method to achieve a well dispersed nickel species and inhibit formation of inert nickel spinel simultaneously.Chemical environments of framework Si are tuned to enhance surface acidity of the Ni/SAPO-11 catalyst.It also shows smaller particle size which favors fast diffusion of reactants and products.Insights into the two-step crystallization indicate that accumulation of SAPO-11 precursors in the pre-crystallization stage,pH regulation by nickel salt and structural directing effect of Ni2+during the second crystallization period account for the rapid crystal growth and smaller particle size of the Ni/SAPO-11 catalyst.All the unique features endow the Ni/SAPO-11 catalyst higher activity and isomers selectivity than the Pt/SAPO-11 catalyst in n-hexane hydroisomerization.

文摘Silicoaluminophosphates SAPO-11 molecular sieves with small particle size and hierarchical pores were synthesized using the directing agent method.The effect of crystallization time on the particle structure,morphology,pore structure properties,and acid properties of SAPO-11 molecular sieves were investigated.Unlike the SAPO-11 molecular sieves synthesized with the conventional method,the results of XRD,SEM,BET and NH3-TPD analyses showed that the SAPO-11 molecular sieves synthesized by the directing agent method in a shorter crystallization time exhibited fine and uniform morphology.By increasing the crystallization time,the particle size of SAPO-11 molecular sieve was significantly reduced,and the mesoporous structure(intercrystalline pores)was formed.Furthermore,the external specific surface area and the total specific surface area reached 81.7 m^2/g and 192.0 m^2/g,respectively,which effectively reduced the pore mass transfer resistance and significantly increased the number of acid sites.The results of n-dodecane hydroisomerization revealed that the Pt/SAPO-11 prepared with the novel method exhibited higher catalytic activity and better hydroisomerization selectivity than that synthesized by the conventional hydrothermal method.Thus,the small particle molecular sieve showed a promising industrial application prospect to be used as catalyst support.

文摘The present paper reports new results regarding the addition of pseudo-boehmite as a binder during the synthesis of shaped Pt/WO_(3)-ZrO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3) (PtWZA) catalysts. Binder shaping can noticeably influence not only the structure and acidity of catalyst and improve its catalytic performance with regard to n-heptane isomerization, but the mechanical strength of the catalyst. A suitable binder content can improve the isomerization activity or selectivity by changing the acidity of PtWZA. The influence of the binder content depends on the WO_(3) content of the catalyst. PtWZA catalysts that contain 5%-15% binder on a dry basis exhibit favorable isomerization performance that depends on WO_(3) content. Suitable catalysts include Pt20WZ5A and Pt30WZ15A, which provide conversions of approximately 80%-90% and a selectivity of 90%. These new findings enrich researcher knowledge of the effect of the binder on the catalyst shaping process and are useful in the production of industrial catalysts.

文摘To enhance the gasoline octane number,low-octane linear n-alkanes should be converted into their high-octane di-branched isomers via n-alkane hydroisomerization.Therefore,hierarchical SAPO-11-based catalysts are prepared by adding different contents of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate(SDBS),and they are applied in n-nonane hydroisomerization.When n(SDBS)/n(SiO2)is less than or equal to 0.125,the synthesized hierarchical molecular sieves are all pure SAPO-11,and as the SDBS content increases,the submicron particle size decreases,and the external surface area(ESA)increases.Additionally,these hierarchical SAPO-11 have smaller submicron particles and higher ESA values than conventional SAPO-11.When n(SDBS)/n(SiO2)is greater than 0.125,with increasing SDBS content(n(SDBS)/n(SiO2)=0.25),the synthesized SAPO-11 contains amorphous materials,which leads to a decline in the ESA;with the further increase in SDBS content(n(SDBS)/n(SiO2)=0.5),the products are all amorphous materials.These results indicate that in the case of n(SDBS)/n(SiO2)=0.125,the synthesized SAPO-11 molecular sieve(S–S3)has the most external Brønsted acid centers and the highest ESA of these SAPO-11,and these advantages favor generation of the di-branched isomers in hydrocarbon hydroisomerization.Among these Pt/SAPO-11 catalysts,Pt/S–S3 displays the highest selectivity to entire isomers(83.4%),the highest selectivity to di-branched isomers(28.1%)and the minimum hydrocracking selectivity(15.7%)in n-nonane hydroisomerization.

文摘Hierarchical SAPO-11 molecular sieve(ACS-11) was successfully synthesized employing the Al2O3/carbon(Al_(2)O_(3)/C) composite obtained through the pyrolysis of Al-based metal-organic framework(Al-MOF-96)as mesoporogen.Unlike other carbon-based mesoporogens with strong hydrophobicity,the Al_(2)O_(3)/C interacts with phosphoric acid and generates the AlPO_(4)/C structure,which promotes the Al2O3/C dispersion in the synthesis gel of SAPO-11 and avoids the phase separation between them.The Al_(2)O_(3)/C as mesoporogen decreases the crystallite size of SAPO-11 via preventing the aggregation of SAPO-11crystals.Additionally,the addition of Al_(2)O_(3)/C improves the Si distribution in the ACS-11 framework.Consequently,ACS-11 has smaller crystallites,more mesopores,and a greater amount of medium Bronsted acid centers than the conventional microporous SAPO-11 and the SAPO-11 synthesized using activated carbon as mesoporogen.The corresponding Pt/ACS-11 catalyst exhibits the maximal selectivity to multi-branched C10isomers(23.28%) and the minimal cracking selectivity(15.83%) in n-decane hydroisomerization among these catalysts.This research provides a new approach for preparing hierarchical silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve-based catalysts to produce high-quality fuels.
