H-ZSM-5分子筛形貌对ZnCr2O4/H-ZSM-5双功能催化剂合成气制芳烃催化性能的影响

采用水热法，通过改变合成条件选择性制备出具有球状堆积、薄片状、中空和海绵条状结构的四种不同形貌的H-ZSM-5分子筛，并采用XRD、SEM、Py-FTIR、NH₃-TPD、ICP和N₂物理吸附等手段对其结构性质进行了表征。将具有尖晶石结构的ZnCr₂O₄复合氧化物与不同形貌的H-ZSM-5分子筛组成ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5双功能催化剂，应用于合成气直接制芳烃（STA）的反应过程，研究了H-ZSM-5分子筛形貌对该双功能催化剂STA性能的影响。结果表明，H-ZSM-5分子筛形貌对ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5的合成气制芳烃催化性能具有重要影响；不同形貌H-ZSM-5分子筛的芳烃选择性由高到低顺序依次为球状堆积 > 海绵条状 > 中空结构 > 薄片状结构。其中，ZnCr₂O₄氧化物与具有球状堆积结构的H-ZSM-5分子筛组成的ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5（sphere）双功能催化剂在STA反应过程中表现出最佳的催化性能：在350℃和3.0 MPa条件下，CO转化率为12.6%，芳烃选择性高达68.8%，而甲烷、C_2-4⁰烷烃和CO₂选择性分别降低至1.3%、14.3%和41.4%。这是由于球状堆积H-ZSM-5分子筛粒径适中（约350 nm），孔道长度适宜，适合芳烃产物的扩散但又能避免低碳烃类过早扩散出酸性分子筛孔道，从而有利于合成气转化中间产物的芳构化，提高芳烃产物的选择性。

Effect of H-ZSM-5 zeolite morphology on the performance of bifunctional ZnCr2O4/H-ZSM-5 catalysts in the direct conversion of syngas into aromatics

A series of H-ZSM-5 zeolites with different morphologies including spherical, hollow, sheet and sponge-strip forms were hydrothermally synthesized through elaborately controlling the synthesis conditions and their crystal structural, textural and acidic properties were characterized by XRD, SEM, Py-FTIR, NH₃-TPD, ICP and N₂-sorption. The H-ZSM-5 zeolites of different morphologies and a spinel ZnCr₂O₄ oxide were then used to compose the bifunctional ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5 catalysts for the direct conversion of syngas into aromatics (STA). The effect of H-ZSM-5 morphology on the catalytic performance of ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5 in STA was then investigated. The results indicate that the morphology of H-ZSM-5 zeolites has significant influences on the catalytic performance of ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5 in STA.The selectivity to aromatics over the bifunctional catalysts with different H-ZSM-5 morphologies follows the order of sphere > sponge-strip > hollow > sheet. In particular, the ZnCr₂O₄/H-ZSM-5(sphere) catalyst composed of ZnCr₂O₄ and spherical H-ZSM-5 exhibits excellent performance in STA; under 350℃ and 3.0 MPa, a high selectivity of 68.8% to aromatics is achieved, with a CO conversion of 12.6%, whereas the selectivities to CH₄, C_2-4⁰ alkanes and CO₂ decrease to 1.3%, 14.3% and 41.4%, respectively. The isotropic and moderate particle size (about 350 nm) with appropriate pore length of spherical H-ZSM-5 zeolite are capable of avoiding the formation of lower hydrocarbons from early diffusion out of the acid zeolite channels and meanwhile yet conducive to the diffusion of aromatics, which can promote the aromatization of intermediates in STA and enhance the selectivity to aromatic products.
