Synthesis, characterization and n-hexane hydroisomerization performances of Pt supported on alkali treated ZSM-22 and ZSM-48

摘要

ZSM-48 and ZSM-22 zeolites with similar Si/Al molar ratio have been treated with alkali to modify the pore structures and acidity, and alkali treated ZSM-22 and ZSM-48 samples have been characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), N _(2) adsorption/desorption, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), NH _(3) -Temperature Programmed Desorption (NH _(3) -TPD) and Pyridine-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Py-FTIR). Characterization results indicate that NaOH treatment could improve the mesoporous structure for both ZSM-22 and ZSM-48. NaOH treatment modifies the acidity of ZSM-22 and ZSM-48 diversely. The n -hexane hydroisomerization performances of Pt supported protonic form ZSM-22 and ZSM-48 (Pt/HZSM-22 and Pt/HZSM-48) bifunctional catalysts have been evaluated in a fixed bed reactor. Catalytic results indicate that catalytic activity and selectivity depend on both pore structure and acidity of zeolites. In comparison of Pt/HZSM-22 and Pt/HZSM-48, Pt/HZSM-22 shows better n -hexane hydroisomerization performance at relatively low temperature ( 300 °C) Pt/HZSM-48 exhibits better catalytic performance. Moreover, alkali treated Pt/HZSM-48 could produce more di-branched isomer compared with alkali treated Pt/HZSM-22.
