Facile synthesis of hierarchical hollow Mn-ZSM-5 zeolite for enhanced cyclohexane catalytic oxidation

摘要

ZSM-5 zeolite with hollow structure has gained considerable attention due to their unique properties and great potential applications in catalysis field.In this study,hierarchical hollow ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized via a facile one-pot hydrothermal process during which a few amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone（PVP） was added.The synthesized ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts were characterized by the XRD,BET-BJH,TEM,FE-SEM,EDS,ICP-AES,XPS and intrusion/extrusion mercury analysis.The results showed that such hierarchical hollow ZSM-5 zeolite as micro-reactor after the modification by Mn species displayed excellent activity with a conversion of 98.7% and an overall selectivity of 97.6% for mild oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone（KA oil） at 70℃,making this type of catalyst a candidate for the production of industrial KA oil.Also,this approach is proved to be a desirable strategy for constructing hollow zeolite micro-ellipsoids by simple and cost-effective manner,thereby,providing a new avenue to be explored in catalysis field.
