NiMoS supported on ZSM-5 with different Si/Al ratio, crystallite size and pore structure was prepared by incipient impregnation method and applied in 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene (1, 3, 5-TMB) hydrodealkylation (HDAK). The physicochemical properties of samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, NH3-TPD, Py-FTIR, H2-TPR, HRTEM and TGA. It is demonstrated that for microporous NiMoS/ZSM-5, acid amount and crystallite size of HZSM-5 are key factors affecting HDAK performance. The larger acid amount and smaller crystallite size can promote the conversion of 1, 3, 5-TMB, especially the dealkylation reaction, resulting in higher BTX yield. Compared to NiMoZ-3, mesopores in micro-mesoporous NiMoAKZ-3 are beneficial to accessibility of 1, 3, 5-TMB to NiMoS and acid sites in close proximity, and the diffusion of reactant and product molecules inside pores, thus resulting in superior HDAK performance of NiMoAKZ-3. Moreover, the reaction network of 1, 3, 5-TMB HDAK was revealed according to product distribution.
Graphic Abstract
NiMoS supported on ZSM-5 was developed for heavy aromatic hydrodealkylation (HDAK). Acid amount and crystallite size of microporous ZSM-5 are key factors affecting 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (1,3,5-TMB) HDAK. Mesopores inside ZSM-5 facilitate accessibility of 1,3,5-TMB to NiMoS and acid sites in close proximity and improve HDAK performance.
The reaction of trimethylbenzene (TMB) over alumina-pillared montmorillonite (Al-PM) had been investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 300 °C and atmospheric pressure. Al-PM calcined in the range 300-500 °C exhibited decreased layer distance, surface area and acid amount. The strong acid sites of Al-PM calcined at 500 °C were greatly diminished according to measurements of ammonia temperature-programmed desorption. Under our conditions the reaction proceeded mainly via isomerization and disproportionation with little dealkylation. The conversion of reactant decreased in the order 1,2,3-TMB ≥ 1,2,4-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB and the selectivity of isomerization in the order 1,2,3-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB > 1,2,4-TMB, corresponding to the order of diminishing thermal instability. Both the catalytic activity and the selectivity ratio of disproportionation to isomerization decreased with increased calcined temperature and time-on-stream. o-Xylene content in the total xylene produced from 1,2,4-TMB or 1,2,3-TMB greatly exceeded the composition at thermodynamic equilibrium. These results arc consistent with the decrease of both the strong acid sites and the pore size of Al-PM which exhibits the restricted transition state selectivity. 相似文献
The reaction of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (1,2,3-TMB) over HY zeolite was investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 200-300 °C under atmospheric pressure. The reaction products include toluene, pentamethylbenzene and isomers of xylene, 1,2,3-TMB and tetramethylbenzene. Based on the time-on-stream theory, the types and initial selectivities of these products were determined from plots of product selectivity. 1,2,4-TMB is initially produced from 1,2,3-TMB via isomerization whereas o-xylene, m-xylene, 1,2,3,4- and 1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene were primarily formed by disproportionation of 1,2,3-TMB. Isomerization and disproportionation obeyed first- and second-order kinetics, respectively; both reactions proceeded via a carbonium ion mechanism with the former occurring by methyl transfer on the benzene ring whereas the latter proceeded through the diphenylmethane transition state. The activation energies are 31.6 and 37.2 kJ mol?1 for isomerizaion and disproportionation, respectively. 相似文献
The oligomerization of ethylene in FCC dry gas over HZSM-5 catalyst with different Si/Al2 ratios was studied. The effect of acid density of catalyst on the oligomerization of ethylene was discussed. By increasing the acid density of catalyst, ethylene conversion showed a linear increase, while the yields of olefins decreased when the acid density of catalyst exceeded 0.14 mmolNH3/g owing to a promotion of hydrogen transfer reaction. Through comparing the average distance between acid sites on catalyst with kinetic diameters of olefins, it was found that the dimerization of ethylene was not restrained by the sparse distribution of acid sites, while the hydrogen transfer reaction of C3 and C4 olefins was limited. On these bases, a conclusion is proposed that the dimerization of ethylene proceeded via Eley-Rideal mechanism, while the hydrogen transfer reaction of C3 and C4 olefins followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. 相似文献
The conversion of 1,2,4-trimethy]benzene (1,2,4-TMB) over HY zeolite was studied at atmosoheric pressure and 200–300 °C by using a fixed-bed, integral-flow reactor. The types and initial selectivities of various products were obtained from plots of product selectivity according to the time-on-stream theory. The primary reaction included the isomerization and the disproportionation; the former led to the simultaneous formation of 1,2.3- and 1,3,5-TMB whereas the latter produced all isomers of xylene and tetramethylbenzene. The relative initial rate of disproportionation to isomerization decreased from 12.6 at 200 °C to 5.47 at 300 °C. The activation energies for the primary reactions were estimated and compared with those in the reaction of 1,2,3-TMB. 相似文献
