A particular attention was paid to the measurement of the conversion, product distribution, coke content, and the porosity and acidity of the fresh and spent HZSM-5 zeolites. It was found that alkene and aromatic promoted coke formation, and it reduced the pore volume and acid site of HZSM-5 zeolites, tailoring its performance in n-heptane catalytic cracking. The specific relationship between HZSM-5 zeolites, n-heptane conversion, product distribution and coke formation was quantitively characterized by the exponential and linear function. Based on the reaction network, the coupled scheme of coke formation and catalyst deactivation were specified for n-heptane catalytic cracking. The dual-model was proposed for the process simulation of n-heptane catalytic cracking over HZSM-5 zeolites. It predicted not only the conversion and product distribution but also coke content with the acceptable errors.展开更多

Ir-HZSM-5 was prepared by impregnation method and subjected to isomerization process in the presence of flowing hydrogen gas. XRD and BET studies show that the presence of iridium stabilizes the crystalline structure of HZSM-5, leading to more ordered framework structure and larger surface area. TGA and FTIR results substantiate that iridium species interacts with OH group on the surface of HZSM-5. Pyridine FT-IR study verifies the interaction between iridium and surface OH group slightly increased the Bro¨nsted and Lewis acid sites without changing the lattice structure of HZSM-5. The presence of iridium and the increase of strong Lewis acid sites on HZSM-5 were found to bring an increase about 4.1%, 33.2% and 11.8% in conversion, selectivity and yield of n-heptane isomerization, respectively.展开更多

A soluble polymer was synthesized from 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride(6FDA) and 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl] hexafluoropropane(BDAF) by the two-step polymerization method. The polymer was proved to be polyimide 6FDA-BDAF by the Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR), the 1H-NMR and ^(19)F-NMR spectra. An asymmetric membrane was prepared with the synthesized polyimide 6FDA-BDAF, it was porous in the 50 μm height bulk and dense in a 3–5 μm height surface. The membrane was used to separate n-heptane/thiophene mixtures by pervaporation with sulfur(S) contents from 50 to 900 μg g^(–1). The total flux was enlarged from 7.96 to 37.61 kg m^(–2) h^(–1) with temperature increasing from 50 to 90°C. The membrane's enrichments factor for thiophene were about 3.13 and dependent on the experimental conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that polyimide 6FDA-BDAF would be a potential membrane material for desulfurization and controlled release of the S-containing fertilizer.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
