Removal of sulfur compounds from LPG by heteropoly acid‐modified spent FCC catalyst

Modified spent FCC catalysts were prepared and the desulfurization properties of these adsorbents were examined in this paper. The experiment data indicated that the spent FCC catalyst performed well in desulfurization after modification; the sulfur content in the liquified petroleum gas (LPG) dropped down to 5~10 mg.m^?3. X‐Ray Fluorescence, X‐ray diffraction, Nitrorms and Fourier transform infrared were applied to characterize these adsorbents. Results showed that the content of various metals in spent FCC catalyst was significantly higher than fresh catalyst; and the metals which deactivated the FCC catalysts became the active sites for desulfurization. In addition, a moderate amount of Lewis acid sites is advantageous to desulfurization while too many Lewis acid sites played a negative role.     

Composition of aromatic products in the catalytic degradation of the mixture of waste polystyrene and high-density polyethylene using spent FCC catalyst

In this chemical recycling process, spent FCC catalyst used had an advantage with an economical and environment aspect, such as a low catalyst price in liquid-phase reaction and a reuse of waste catalyst. The characteristics of oil product and its aromatic product distribution, as a function of reaction time in the reactor and also proportion of HDPE and PS in the mixture, were compared. Main products obtained were light hydrocarbons within the gasoline range that were mainly produced during initial reaction time. The formation of aromatic products such as styrene and ethylbenzene as major components depended appreciably on the reaction time, as well as the composition of HDPE and PS in the mixture used for degradation. For the distribution of C₉-C₁₂ alkylaromatic components as by-products, methylstyrene (C₁-styrene) and isopropylbenzene (C₃-benzene) components were the main products formed by β-scission and hydrogen transfer of PS, while the rest of alkylaromatic products showed very low fraction being 1% or less.

Co-pyrolysis of biomass and waste plastics for production of chemicals and liquid fuel: A review on the role of plastics and catalyst types

The increasing global fuel consumption and growing environmental concerns are the impetuses to explore alternative energy that is clean and renewable for fuel production. Converting biomass and plastic waste into high-value fuel and chemicals via co-pyrolysis technique may provide a sustainable remediation to this problem. This review critically discussed the influence of various types of plastic wastes as co-reactant in co-pyrolysis with biomass on the product distribution, synergistic effect, and quality of bio-oil. The outcome of this review revealed that the addition of plastic enhanced the yield and quality of bio-oil and inhibited the production of oxygenated compound and coke formation. Next, the critical role of zeolite-based catalyst (microporous, mesoporous, hierarchical, and metal modified zeolite) and low-cost mineral-based catalyst in upgrading the yield and quality of liquid fuel were compared and discussed. The characteristic, synthesis method, strength, and limitation of each catalyst in upgrading the products were summarized. Hierarchical zeolites can resolve the problems of mass transfer, and diffusion limitation of large molecules into active sites associated with conventional zeolite due to the combination of two levels of porosity. Finally, the potential challenges and future directions for this technique were also suggested.

Chemical catalysed recycling of polypropylene over a spent FCC catalyst and various commercial cracking catalysts using TGA

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been used as a tool to characterise the activity, regenerability and deactivation behaviour of spent FCC commercial catalyst (FCC-s1) in the degradation of polypropylene. The FCC-s1 catalysts and amorphous silica–alumina (SAHA) significantly reduced the activation energy as compared with thermal process, and zeolites (ZSM-5 and HUSY) further reduced the activation energy. However, silicalite catalysts gave very minimal effect on PP degradation at a temperature similar to that of thermal cracking. Analysis of the TGA results allowed a relationship between catalyst activity and coke content to be derived. The activity of FCC-s1 catalysts was found to fall exponentially with coke content, and it could be recover most its initial value. The results represent an interesting alternative to have significant impact on the economics of a catalytic polymer degradation process employing post-use FCC commercial catalysts of zero market value.     

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.

Slow pyrolysis of walnut shell which is a cheap and abundantly available solid waste was carried out using thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of raw material heating rate on the pyrolysis properties and kinetic parameters were investigated. A two-step consecutive reaction model were used to simulate the pyrolysis process. The kinetic parameters were established by using the pattern search method. Comparison between experimental data and the model prediction indicated that the two-step consecutive reaction model can better describe the slow pyrolysis of walnut shell as the formation of an intermediate during the pyrolysis process was taken into account.

Biodiesel production in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst of alumina: Study of kinetics and thermodynamics

In the current research, biodiesel production was investigated in the presence of solid catalysts of K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ by transesterification of rapeseed oil. The specifications of produced fatty acid methyl esters like viscosity and flash point were studied, and it was noted that they complied with the requirements of ASTM D6751. In addition, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were explored considering the temperature changes between 318.15 and 348.15 K. Mass transfer resistance (external diffusion or internal diffusion) over the catalyst was neglected with regard to theWeisz-Prater criterion and Mears criterion. The kinetic models containing Eley-Rideal, Langmuir-Hinshelwood, pseudo–first-order, pseudo–second-order, and α-order models were investigated. Corrected Akaike information criterion was utilized to find the best model fitted with the experimental data. The greatest illustration for the K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃-catalyzed reaction was the nonlinear model with an order of α = 1.287 and the activation energy of 12.12 kJ/mol. Using transition state theory (Eyring-Polanyi equation), the activation Gibbs free energy, activation enthalpy, and activation entropy were calculated at different temperatures. The equilibrium thermodynamic properties depicted that this process is endothermic and spontaneous toward biodiesel production and tends to be irreversible.

Study on kinetics of the pyrolysis process of aluminum sulfate

Abstract

Using high aluminum gangue as a raw material, aluminum sulfate 18 hydrate was made by the sulfuric acid leaching method under certain conditions. The product was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the phases, x-ray-fluorescence (XRF) analysis of the aluminum and sulfur content and thermogravimetric analysis of the crystallized water [Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O]. Change characteristics of the crystal form and morphology during pyrolysis of octadecahydrate aluminum sulfate were studied by thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), XRD and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The theoretical basis for the preparation of metallurgical alumina from octadecahydrate aluminum sulfate was provided. According to the characteristics of the crystal structure change, the pyrolysis process of octadecahydrate aluminum sulfate can be separated into three stages. The first stage (dehydration stage 87–250?°C) had a weight loss rate of 40.5% and a loss of 15 water molecules; the weight loss rate of the second stage (dehydration stage 280–414?°C) was 8.1% with three water molecules lost; the weight loss rate of the third stage (decomposition stage 770–900?°C) was 36.1%, where three SO₃ molecules were lost. The pyrolysis products were mainly Al₂O₃. The activation energies of the three reaction stages were calculated using the Coats-Redfern method as 90.02?kJ/mol, 205.74?kJ/mol and 284.40?kJ/mol, respectively.     

Isothermal cure kinetics of epoxy/phenol‐novolac resin blend system initiated by cationic latent thermal catalyst

The investigation of the cure kinetics of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/phenol‐novolac blend system with different phenolic contents initiated by a cationic latent thermal catalyst [N‐benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH)] was performed by means of the analysis of isothermal experiments using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Latent properties were investigated by measuring the conversion as a function of curing temperature using a dynamic DSC method. The results indicated that the BPH in this system for cure is a significant thermal latent initiator and has good latent thermal properties. The cure reaction of the blend system using BPH as a curing agent was strongly dependent on the cure temperature and proceeded through an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism that was accelerated by the hydroxyl group produced through the reaction between DGEBA and BPH. At a specific conversion region, once vitrification took place, the cure reaction of the epoxy/phenol‐novolac/BPH blend system was controlled by a diffusion‐control cure reaction rather than by an autocatalytic reaction. The kinetic constants k₁ and k₂ and the cure activation energies E₁ and E₂ obtained by the Arrhenius temperature dependence equation of the epoxy/phenol‐novolac/BPH blend system were mainly discussed as increasing the content of the phenol‐novolac resin to the epoxy neat resin. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The kinetics of diethylene glycol formation from bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate with antimony catalyst in the preparation of PET

This research discussed the effect of the addition of antimony catalyst on diethylene glycol (DEG) formation in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) synthesis. It was found that antimony catalyst increased DEG formation in the preparation of PET, in particular, during the esterification stage and also during the prepolycondensation stage. To further discuss the effect of antimony catalyst on DEG formation in the preparation of PET, this research also focused on the kinetics of DEG formation during PET synthesis from purified bishydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) monomer with antimony catalyst. The rate expression of DEG formation from BHET monomer and antimony catalyst was described. It was found that the activation energy of BHET monomer with antimony catalyst in DEG formation is lower than that of BHET monomer without the addition of catalyst. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
