Kinetic Modeling of MTO Process Applying ZSM-5 Zeolite Modified With Phosphorus as the Reaction Catalyst

摘要

In the present study, a number of phosphorus modified HZSM-5(Si/Al = 250) zeolite as MTO catalyst were prepared and characterized by various methods. A kinetic model for MTO process over PZSM-5 catalyst was developed based on data obtained from a differential fixed bed reactor within the temperature range of 360-425 degrees C and 1 bar pressure applying the Langmuir-Hinshelwood formulation. The kinetic parameters were evaluated from the experimental data using genetic algorithm. It was found that the predicted data from the model were well correlated with the experimental results, indicating that ethylene and propylene are primary olefins.
