  • an effective method to enhance the stability on stream of butene Aromatization post treatment of zsm 5 by alkali solution of sodium hydroxide
    Applied Catalysis A-general, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yueqin Song, Yi Song, Qingxia Wang, Longya Xu
    Abstract:

    The catalytic stability of ZSM-5 zeolite in butene Aromatization was improved by the treatment of ZSM-5 zeolite with sodium hydroxide solution of appropriate concentration. By characterizing pore structures, the acidity of the catalyst and the coke amount, we found that alkali-treatment of ZSM-5 led to a formation of new mesopores resulting from a preferential removal of silicon species, while the intrinsic micropores remained unchanged. As for the acidity, the amount and properties of acid sites exhibited a slight change on the alkali-treated ZSM-5 zeolites. In addition, the alkali-treatment to ZSM-5 zeolite led to only a little reduction in the amount of coke during the butene Aromatization. But a portion of coke was deposited in the newly created mesopores because of the alkali-treatment and the formation of coke in the micropores was found to be reduced. These changes can suppress the channel blockage of ZSM-5 zeolite by the coke deposits during butene Aromatization. The variation of the coking location was the main reason for the favorable enhancement in the reaction stability during butene Aromatization.

  • local structure elucidation and reaction mechanism of light naphtha Aromatization over ga embedded h zsm 5 zeolite combined dft and experimental study

    Abstract:

    Abstract Local structures and mechanisms for n-pentane Aromatization on Ga embedded H-ZSM-5 zeolite (Ga/ZSM-5) were elucidated using Synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the role of Ga/ZSM-5 zeolite in aromatics synthesis. XAS data suggests that Ga ligates with four oxygen or four hydrogen atoms. Catalytic tests results suggest that conversion by Ga/ZSM-5 catalyst cannot occur via C6–C8 non-aromatic intermediates, while the availability of Ga metal sites promotes the Aromatization of C2 and C3 species. Therefore, conversion of n-pentane to benzene or toluene comprises four steps, i) cracking, ii) GaH2 activation, iii) cyclization, and iv) dehydrogenation. Our model predicts the key intermediate in n-pentane Aromatization on Ga/ZSM-5 zeolite to be a five-membered Ga-C4 ring structure. The ring undergoes expansion to form a seven-membered Ga-C6 ring. Moreover, we discuss thermodynamics and kinetic results for the benzene and toluene formation pathways. Our results provide new finding for the role of Ga/ZSM-5 zeolites in n-pentane Aromatization processes.
