Synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons enriched with triptane via dimethyl ether conversion over combined catalyst

A combined catalytic system composed of catalysts with different functions was prepared. The catalyst for the synthesis of lower olefins based on is H-ZSM-5 zeolite modified with Mg, was mixed with the catalyst for alkylation of isobutane by olefins based on H-Y zeolite modified with La and Pd. In the presence of the combined system, liquid branched hydrocarbons were synthesized from dimethyl ether in a hydrogen medium at 340 °C and a pressure of 10 MPa. The effect of the composition of the combined catalyst on its selectivity to liquid hydrocarbons and, specifically, triptane was shown.

     

Conversion of Oxygenates to Aromatic Hydrocarbons on a Commercial Zeolite Catalyst: Comparison of Ethanol and Dimethyl Ether

Conversion of oxygenates to aromatic hydrocarbons in the syngas medium in the presence of a commercial zeolite-containing catalyst was studied. The influence of pressure on aromatization of dimethyl ether and ethanol was examined. At 400°C, an increase in the pressure from 0.1 to 3.0–10.0 MPa leads to a sharp increase in the yield of aromatic compounds. Dimethyl ether and ethanol, which are isomers belonging to different classes of compounds, were compared as substrates in conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons. At elevated pressure, dimethyl ether compared to ethanol exhibits higher selectivity in formation of the desired synthesis products, allowing synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons with increased content of arenes.

     

Physicochemical and catalytic characteristics of La-H-ZSM-5 zeolite in converting dimethyl ether to the mixtures of gasoline hydrocarbons: Effect of ion exchange conditions

The effect of the manner and conditions of introducing lanthanum cations into NH₄-ZSM-5 zeolite on the properties of catalysts for the conversion of dimethyl ether into the mixtures of gasoline hydrocarbons is studied. The physicochemical properties of synthesized catalysts are studied by means of temperature-programmed ammonia desorption, the adsorption of benzene, atomic absorption spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry. It is shown that the degree to which lanthanum cations are replaced by ammonium cations both depends on the conditions of ion exchange in the zeolite and affects its acidity spectrum and the selectivity of the formation of paraffin hydrocarbons with isostructure. It is concluded that an increase in the amount of introduced lanthanum leads to an increase in the content of iso-paraffins from 69 to 76 wt % and a decrease in the content of aromatic hydrocarbons from 10.5 to 5.5 wt % and that of durene from 1.5 to 0.2 wt % in the products.     

Synthesis of HZSM-5 zeolites with excellent DME aromatization properties by orthogonal test

Abstract

The synthesis conditions of HZSM-5 zeolite, including crystallization temperature, crystallization time and raw material ratio, were investigated by L₃₂ (4⁸) orthogonal test to specifically optimize its performance in dimethyl ether (DME) aromatization for the first time. Based on the total yield of aromatic products, the synthesis conditions of HZSM-5 zeolite with the best DME aromatization properties were obtained by comprehensive analysis and validation experiments. The relationship between the aromatization performance, crystalline structure, pore structure, and acidity of HZSM-5 zeolite were analyzed. The results showed that the HZSM-5 zeolite accompanied by hierarchical structure, an appropriate Brønsted and Lewis acid content and uniform crystal morphology, was successfully synthesized under optimized conditions. Over this unmodified and un-doped catalyst, the conversion of DME approached to 99.3% and the total yield of aromatics reached was 53.5%.     

Synthesis of gasoline from syngas via dimethyl ether

Zeolite H-TsVM has been loaded with palladium by different methods. The properties of the resulting catalysts in gasoline synthesis from syngas via dimethyl ether depend on the way in which palladium was introduced. The catalysts have been characterized by ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-programmed reaction with hydrogen, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. According to ammonia TPD data, use of a palladium ammine complex instead of palladium chloride reduces the concentration of strong acid sites and raises the concentration of medium-strength acid sites, thereby reducing the yield of C1–C4 hydrocarbons and increasing the yield of gasoline hydrocarbons. At T = 340°C, P = 100 atm, and GHSV = 2000 h^?1, the dimethyl ether conversion is 98–99%, the gasoline selectivity is >60%, the isoparaffin content of the product is ～61%, and the arene content is not higher than 29%.

A column packing for isothermal gas chromatographic analysis of C1−C5 paraffins and monoolefins and dimethyl ether

Summary An analytical GC method was developed which uses a single packed column consisting of three packings in series prepared with the following liquid phases: dimethyl sulfolane, propylene carbonate, and silver nitrate. This system provides satisfactory resolution of mixtures of C₁–C₅ hydrocarbons and dimethyl ether obtained when converting methanol to gasoline. Due to the high capacity of the column it is possible to inject larger sample amounts permitting trace analysis.     

Thermal degradation of polyethylene and polystyrene from the packaging industry over different catalysts into fuel-like feed stocks

Thermal degradation of waste polymers was carried out as a suitable technique for converting plastic polymers into liquid hydrocarbons, which could be used as feed stock materials. The catalytic degradation of waste plastics (polyethylene and polystyrene) was investigated in a batch reactor over different catalysts (FCC, ZSM-5 and clinoptillolite). The effects of catalysts and their average grain size on the properties of main degradation products (gases, gasoline, diesel oil) are discussed. The temperature range of 410-450 °C was used in the process. Both equilibrium FCC catalyst and natural clinoptilolite zeolite catalyst had good catalytic activity to produce light hydrocarbon liquids, and ZSM-5 catalyst produced the highest amount of gaseous products. Gases and liquids formed in cracking reactions were analyzed by gas chromatography. The liquid products consisted of a wide spectrum of hydrocarbons distributed within the C₅-C₂₈ carbon number range depending on the cracking parameters. The composition of hydrocarbons had linear non-branched structure in case of polyethylene, while from polystyrene more aromatics (ethyl-benzene, styrene, toluene, and benzene) were produced. The yields of volatile products increased with increasing degradation temperature. The olefin content of liquids was measured with an infrared technique and an olefin concentration of 50-60% was observed. The concentration of unsaturated compounds increased with decreasing temperature, and in the presence of catalysts. The activation energies were calculated on the basis of the composition of volatile products. The apparent activation energies were decreased by catalysts and catalyst caused both carbon-chain and double bond isomerisation.

Effect of acid strength distribution on conversion of FCC gasoline over a ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst

Summary Acid strength distribution and the distribution of aromatics formed in the FCC gasoline conversion reaction on a ZSM-5 zeolite with different Na contents have been studied. With increasing Na content in the ZSM-5 zeolite, the acid sites determined by NH₃-TPD technique, especially the strong acid sites, clearly decrease. When used as catalyst for the aromatization reaction, the transformation of olefins in the FCC gasoline into aromatics is governed directly by the strong acid sites on the ZSM-5 catalyst. Only under the conditions that a ZSM-5 catalyst possesses suitable strong acid sites is reaction temperature favorable for the aromatics formed.     

Insights into the Diffusion Behaviors of Water over Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Catalysts During the Conversion of Syngas to High-Quality Gasoline

Although considerable efforts towards directly converting syngas to liquid fuels through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis have been made, developing catalysts with low CO₂ selectivity for the synthesis of high-quality gasoline remains a big challenge. Herein, we designed a bifunctional catalyst composed of hydrophobic FeNa@Si-c and HZSM-5 zeolite, which exhibited a low CO₂ selectivity of 14.3 % at 49.8 % CO conversion, with a high selectivity of 62.5 % for gasoline in total products. Molecular dynamic simulations and model experiments revealed that the diffusion of water molecules through hydrophilic catalyst was bidirectional, while the diffusion through hydrophobic catalyst was unidirectional, which were crucial to tune the water-gas shift reaction and control CO₂ formation. This work provides a new fundamental understanding about the function of hydrophobic modification of catalysts in syngas conversion.     

ZSM-5／MOR复合分子筛催化剂对混合C4烃转化反应的催化性能

以ZSM-5/丝光沸石(MOR)复合分子筛为催化剂,对混合C4烃的催化转化反应进行了评价,并采用程序升温脱附和原位红外光谱技术对ZSM-5/MOR的酸性进行了表征. 结果表明,与ZSM-5相比, MOR具有很低的催化活性,但ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛具有较高的催化活性,随着ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中ZSM-5含量的增加, C4烃转化率稍有升高;在C4烃转化率大致相同的情况下,乙烯和丙烯的总选择性比较接近,但苯和甲苯的总收率却快速升高. 随着ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中ZSM-5含量的增加,弱酸和中强酸的酸量逐渐减少,强酸的酸量有所增加. 由于ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中MOR对ZSM-5起到分散作用而产生更多的L酸中心,且此L酸中心处于分子筛的外表面而具有较高的能量,导致苯和甲苯的总收率升高.     

In-situ FTIR studies of dimethyl ether adsorption on H-ZSM-5 zeolites

In situ infrared spectra of dimethyl ether adsorbed on two H-ZSM-5 zeolites are reported which are different in both lattice and extraframework aluminium contents. A number of dissociatively adsorbed dimethyl ether species associated respectively with the Bronsted acid sites, the external silanol groups and extraframework aluminium species at different temperatures are identified. In particular, dimethyl ether reacts with non acidic hydroxyl species associated with extraframework aluminium to form the third methoxy species. The distributions of hydrocarbons desorbed from a single pulse of dimethyl ether (1.0 mL) onto these zeolite samples are presented. Propene is the major product, and the yield of hydrocarbons correlates with the concentration of Bronsted acid bound methoxy groups.
