Effect of ion exchange and regeneration conditions on the catalytic activity of H-ZSM-5 zeolites

The effect of Na⁺ H⁺ ion-exchange conditions on catalytic properties of the resulting H-ZSM-5 zeolites has been investigated. The concentration and mode of addition of the reactant to the exchange medium affect the degree of exchange achieved. During low-temperature conversion of olefins, the H-ZSM-5 zeolites have become rapidly deactivated. Thermal regeneration fully restores their original catalytic properties.

分子筛改性对一步法合成二甲醚的影响

采用浸渍法制备了MgO、CaO、ZnO改性的HZSM 5分子筛,并以改性HZSM 5为脱水剂与JC207甲醇合成催化剂组成双功能催化剂,在固定床反应器上考察了其对一步法合成二甲醚影响。结果表明,适量碱性氧化物的引入,引起分子筛表面的B酸中心（强酸中心）向L酸中心（弱酸中心）转变,而弱酸和中强酸中心是甲醇脱水生成二甲醚的活性中心,强酸中心会造成二甲醚进一步脱水生成烃类副产品,所以改性后产物中二氧化碳和烃类的选择性下降,二甲醚选择性升高。这种趋势在CaO/HZSM 5脱水剂上表现的更为明显。     

四丙基氢氧化铵改性纳米HZSM-5分子筛及其在甲醇制汽油中的催化性能

采用四丙基氢氧化铵(TPAOH)溶液对纳米ZSM-5分子筛进行改性, 运用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、²⁷Al和²⁹Si固体核磁、X射线光电子能谱、N₂物理吸附脱附法和NH₃程序升温脱附等手段对所制样品进行了表征, 并评价了其催化甲醇制汽油反应性能. 结果表明, 改性后的HZSM-5相对结晶度增加, 晶体形貌更加规整, 表面硅铝比增加, 比表面积和微孔表面积增大, 强酸位酸量增多. 同时, TPAOH改性不仅可以使分子筛脱硅脱铝, 而且伴有二次晶化补硅补铝, 改变了分子筛的硅铝分布. 改性的HZSM-5在甲醇制汽油反应中的稳定性大幅度提高, 其寿命由70h增至170h以上, 随着TPAOH处理时间的增加, 催化剂寿命增加, 氢转移反应加快, 导致油相产品中异构烷烃增多, 烯烃减少.

Effect of the Si/Al ratio of HZSM-5 zeolite on the production of dimethyl ether before and after ultrasonication

A series of as-synthesized HZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios (25, 90, 120, 240 and 400) were post-treated by ultrasonication for an optimum time of 60 min. The morphology, acidity and textural properties of HZSM-5 were characterized with XRD, SEM, N₂ adsorption and NH₃-TPD techniques. The catalytic performance was evaluated by dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME), which is a promising gaseous automotive fuel in future. It was found that the Si/Al ratio of HZSM-5 had considerable impacts on its catalytic performance for dehydration of methanol to DME. Its activity increased with decreasing Si/Al ratio from 400 to 25. Ultrasonication of HZSM-5 could significantly improve its catalytic performance.     

Study of benzene sorption in H-ZSM-5 zeolite under catalytic conditions

The equilibrium of the sorption of benzene in an H-ZSM-5 zeolite has been investigated in the temperature range of 100-400°С and at partial pressures 0.11÷0.57 аtm. The data on the sorption under these conditions could be fitted with the Langmuir isotherms taking into account a linear decrease in heats of sorption with the increase in the sorbate loading. The equilibrium constants and heat of the sorption have been determined. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Geological,mineralogical and ion exchange characteristics of zeolite rocks from Bulgaria

Zeolite rocks from different locations in Bulgaria are characterized in geological-mineralogical respect and as ion exchangers for cesium and strontium radionuclides. The basic equilibrium and kinetic exchange parameters are determined. The influence of the mineralogical and chemical composition of the zeolite rocks on the ion exchange properties is shown.     

Ion exchange in catanionic mixtures: from ion pair amphiphiles to surfactant mixtures

We have studied concentrated equimolar mixtures of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid, C13COOH) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) in which the OH- counterions are gradually exchanged by other anions (Cl-, Br-, CH3COO-, CH3-(C6H4)-SO3-). We demonstrate that the stability of a Lbeta phase can be achieved at equimolarity between both surfactants, provided that the phase contains also a sufficient number of anions exchanged with OH-. In the absence of exchange (equimolar mixture of C13COOH and CTAOH), a three-dimensional crystalline Lc phase is produced. As the OH- ions are replaced by other ions, a swollen Lbeta lamellar phase appears, first in coexistence with the Lc (D* = 400 A) and then in coexistence with a dilute phase only (D* = 215 A). In the latter regime, the repeating distance depends very little on the exchange ratio, but rather on the nature of the counterion. If too many OH- ions are exchanged, the Lbeta phase becomes unstable again. A Poisson-Boltzmann model with charge regulation computed for a closed system predicts qualitatively the existence of this narrow domain of stability for the Lbeta phase.     

An oft-studied reaction that may never have been: direct catalytic conversion of methanol or dimethyl ether to hydrocarbons on the solid acids HZSM-5 or HSAPO-34

Using highly purified reagents and careful tests, we show that methanol and dimethyl ether are apparently unreactive on the two most important methanol-to-hydrocarbon catalysts, HZSM-5 and HSAPO-34. Thus, none of the "direct" mechanisms involving two to four carbon atoms in intermediates such as oxonium ylides, carbenes, carbocations, and free radicals are applicable. Only the "indirect" route (hydrocarbon pool) is an established mechanism for this chemistry. An active catalyst requires a hydrocarbon pool that typically begins with products from organic impurities in the feed, carrier gas, or the solid acid itself. Impurities may also play important roles in other reactions catalyzed by solid acids.     

Ion-molecule reactions of dimethyl ether cations with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer

The reaction chemistry between dimethyl ether (DME) cations and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was elucidated by isolating three different types of DME ions using a quadrupole ion trap and reacting them individually with neutral PAH molecules eluting from a gas chromatographic column. The results obtained show that the CH(2)OCH(3)(+) ion (m/z 45) reacts via adduct formation followed by elimination of CH(3)OH, the (CH(3))(2)OH(+) (m/z 47) ion serves as proton donor and the (CH(3))(3)O(+) ion (m/z 61) does not yield any reaction products.

Optimization of hydrothermal synthesis of H-ZSM-5 zeolite for dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether using full factorial design

H-ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method.The effects of different synthesis parameters,such as hydrothermal crystallization temperature(170-190 C) and Si/Al molar ratio(100-150),on the catalytic performance of the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether(DME) over the synthesized H-ZSM-5 zeolite were studied.The catalysts were characterized by N 2 adsorption-desorption,XRD,NH 3-TPD,TGA/DTA,and SEM techniques.The full factorial design of experiments was applied to the synthesis of H-ZSM-5 zeolite and the effects of synthesis conditions and their interaction on the yield of DME as the response variable were determined.Analysis of variance showed that two variables and their interaction significantly affected the response.According to the experimental results,the optimized catalyst prepared at 170 C with the Si/Al molar ratio of 100 showed the best catalytic performance among the tested H-ZSM-5 zeolite.     

The solubility of water in mixtures of dimethyl ether and carbon dioxide

This paper reports measurements of the solubility of water in liquid and supercritical fluid mixtures of dimethyl ether and carbon dioxide. The measurements were made by extracting water under saturation conditions using premixed liquid dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide mixtures. Results are reported for temperatures of 313.8 K and 333.3 K at 9.0 MPa and 15.0 MPa. Results are fitted to the Peng–Robinson cubic equation of state with mixing rules according to Wong and Sandler, using binary interaction parameters fitted to the literature data for the respective binary systems: dimethyl ether–water; dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide; and carbon dioxide–water. Liquid densities for dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide mixtures, measured using a coriolis flow instrument, are also reported.     

丝光沸石的酸性质调控及在二甲醚羰基化反应中的催化性能

二甲醚(DME)羰基化制乙酸甲酯(MA)及MA加氢制乙醇,是一条新兴的合成气间接法制乙醇工艺.其中,DME羰基化合成MA反应原子经济性高,反应条件温和.特别是以丝光沸石(MOR)为催化剂时,反应在较低温度(473 K)下MA选择性即可达到99％,这使得该工艺具有良好的竞争力和工业化前景.在已有的文献报道中,学者们将MA的高选择性归结于分子筛八元环(8-MR)结构的限域效应,红外和DFT计算表明八元环的Br(o)nsted酸位上可以专一性催化CO插入吸附态的甲基形成乙酰基中间体.为了建立八元环Br(o)nsted酸位点与活性的关系,研究者一般采用化学脱铝和离子交换等方法减少八元环Br(o)nsted酸位点,以观察反应活性降低的趋势.事实上,采用直接合成手段选择性地调控H-MOR的酸性,以此提高其羰基化活性的研究报道十分有限.因此,我们通过多种方法来调变MOR的骨架Al元素分布,包括改变水热合成中溶胶的组成、选择适宜的模板剂以及对样品进行酸处理等,获得了一系列酸量和酸分布不同的H-MOR分子筛.通过考察DME羰基化制MA的反应性能,进一步明确酸性调控对分子筛催化剂结构和性能的影响.首先通过XRD和N2物理吸附对所有样品的织构性质进行表征,结果发现各样品均为纯的MOR晶相,相对结晶度也较为相近.比表面积和孔分布计算结果显示,各样品的孔结构也大致相同.特殊地,以环己亚胺(HMI)为模板时得到的样品结晶度较低,比表面积和孔体积较小.这是因为HMI的碱性较弱,因此在水热合成过程中的结构导向力较弱,无法高效地促进分子筛成核.酸处理会造成分子筛骨架T原子少量脱除,导致结构轻微破坏,但总的来说影响不大.在排除了晶相与结构方面的差异后,我们基于不同环内酸性位点对不同尺寸碱性分子的可接近性存在差异这一特点,结合ICP-OES,27Al MAS NMR,NH3-TPD和Py-FTIR等多种表征方法对MOR分子筛八元环和十二元环的Br(o)nsted酸位进行定量分析.通过计算骨架Al含量及NaM样品的对照,验证了NH3-TPD的峰位归属,认定高温处的NH3脱附峰能够准确反映H-MOR骨架中Br(o)nsted的酸总量.通过Py-FTIR获得了H-MOR样品中十二元环的Br(o)nsted酸量.由此发现通过不同方法得到的H-MOR催化剂上八元环内的Br(o)nsted酸比例存在较大差异(55.5％-72.7％),并且普遍高于商业H-MOR样品(54.5％),说明我们通过控制合成条件或者酸处理可以有效地调控骨架Al元素的分布,进而导致Br(o)nsted酸在不同环内的分布比例发生变化.尤其是当HMI作模板剂时,由于其分子尺寸较大,仅可以进入分子筛的十二元环,促使Al原子向八元环富集,因而在样品结晶度较低的情况下,八元环内的Br(o)nsted酸仍显著增加.反应测试结果表明,不同催化剂虽然均具有较高的选择性,但反应初始活性差别明显.将MA的生成速率与八元环的Br(o)nsted酸量相关联,发现二者呈线性正相关关系,由此验证了文献中八元环内Br(o)nsted酸位是DME羰基化制MA反应的活性位点这一学术观点,同时更加肯定了我们对分子筛酸性的调控是有效且成功的.我们的实验结果为分子筛的酸量和酸分布调控提供了有益信息,也为后期DME羰基化反应催化剂的优化和设计提供了参考.     

Incorporation of CoS nanoparticles into ZSM-5 zeolite by hydrothermal and ion exchange methods

Cobalt sulfide nanoparticles were introduced into the medium-pore zeolite ZSM-5 (Zeolite Scony Mobil Five) by ion exchange in aqueous suspension and also by the addition of cobalt sulfate to the synthesis gel in hydrothermal zeolite synthesis. The latter method was systematically studied in the presence of tetraethylammonium ions as organic agents. The materials were characterized by chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersion x-ray (EDX), IR, BET and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). SEM picture and BET were used to discriminate between CoS nanoparticles in the zeolite pores and on the outer crystal surface. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by XRD and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that in hydrothermal method zeolite acts as a template. CoS nanoparticles with an approximate size of 22 nm grow on the surface of zeolite. In ion exchange method, however, the majority of CoS nanoparticles are about 6 nm in diameter, located on the surface of the MFI (type materials ZSM-5) structure. Exciton absorption peaks at higher energy than the fundamental absorption edge of bulk CoS indicate quantum confinement effect in nanoparticles as a consequence of their small size. The absorption spectra show that the optical band gap for CoS nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal and ion exchange methods is 3.68 and 4.1 eV, respectively.     

Effects of silicon to aluminum ratio and crystal size of zeolite on catalytic properties of Cu-ZnO-Al2O3/HZSM-5 for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether from syngas

采用水热晶化法合成了硅铝比(SiO2/Al2O3)为60、120、200和晶粒粒径分别为1.00和0.25μm的HZSM-5分子筛,并以其为甲醇脱水活性组分与铜基甲醇合成活性组分(Cu-ZnO-Al2O3)组成双功能催化剂(Cu-ZnO-Al2O3/HZSM-5),在连续流动加压固定床反应器上考察了Cu-ZnO-Al2O3/HZSM-5对合成气直接制二甲醚反应的催化性能.结果表明,随着分子筛硅铝比的提高,二氧化碳副产物的生成量逐渐减少,从而使目的产物二甲醚的选择性逐渐增大.与常规分子筛相比,小晶粒分子筛的反应活性接近,但二氧化碳和烃类副产物的选择性较低.     

Effect of different metal sulfate precursors on structural and catalytic performance of zirconia in dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether

ZrO_2 was treated with 10% SO_4~(2-) from different metal sulfate precursors for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether.All the samples exhibited tetragonal phase and no diffraction peaks corresponding to metal sulfates or metal oxides were observed.The FT-IR results revealed that there were different interactions between sulfate and ZrO_2,and this had a great effect on the surface area of the samples.The catalytic activity was measured over the catalysts in the temperature range of 100-300 ℃.The results revealed that sulfated zirconia with CuSO_4·5 H_2O and Al_2(SO_4)_3·16 H_2O showed the best catalytic activity.The maximum yield of DME ≈87% was obtained over CuSZ at a reaction temperature of 275 ℃.Moreover,the catalytic activity of the catalysts was correlated well with their surface acidity that measured by dehydration of isopropanol.     

多级孔ZSM-5分子筛的合成及其在甲醇脱水制二甲醚反应中的应用

以四丙基氨为微孔模版剂,阳离子高分子聚合物为介孔模版剂,合成了具有多级介孔的ZSM-5分子筛,并用于甲醇气相脱水合成二甲醚.结果表明,加入阳离子高分子聚合物后,合成的HZSM-5分子筛样品既保持了其MFI典型结构,又呈现了多级介孔特征;随着阳离子高分子聚合物模板剂加入量的增加,其多级介孔特征更为明显.具有多级介孔的HZSM-5分子筛表现出比常规微孔HZSM-5分子筛高的反应稳定性和二甲醚选择性,这主要是由于其织构和酸性的双重作用.     

Differences between Zn/HZSM-5 and Zn/HZSM-11 zeolite catalysts in alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether

HZSM-11 zeolite supported Zn catalysts with different Zn contents （xZn/HZSM-11A） were prepared. In the alkylation of benzene with dimethyl ether （DME） in a fixed bed reactor, the catalyst with Zn content of 6 wt% （6Zn/HZSM-11A） showed appropriate performance. Focus was put on the comparison between 6Zn/HZSM-5 and 6Zn/HZSM-11 with the same crystal size of 600-800 nm, and also with the similar BET surface area, micropore volume, Si/Al2 molar ratio, and acidity. In the alkylation of benzene with DME, the 6Zn/HZSM-11 showed better activity and stability, and especially enhanced the conversion of benzene and selectivities to xylene and trimethylbenzene, compared with the 6Zn/HZSM-5. This was mainly related to the higher adsorption capacity and adsorption-desorption rates to the three adsorbates （benzene, m-xylene and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene） over the 6Zn/HZSM-11 in comparison with the 6Zn/HZSM-5.
