Abstract
ZSM-11 is recognized as a shape-selective catalyst in various industrial processes; however, the significance of hierarchical ZSM-11 in the direct conversion of crude oil to light olefins remains unexplored. Herein, we report a template-directed hydrothermal method to synthesize hierarchical ZSM-11 zeolite with varying secondary mesopore sizes, acidities, and morphologies. The synthesis strategy controlled the development of uniform nanorods or accumulating nanosized zeolites with SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios of 30, 35, and 70. The developed two-dimensional 10-membered ring straight channels ZSM-11 catalyst were employed firstly for the steam catalytic cracking of light crude oil to produce light olefins (C2-C4). Amongst the various developed catalysts, ZSM-11(35), a hierarchical zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 35, outperformed in terms of crude oil cracking conversion (∼66.5 %) and selectivity to C2-C4 light olefins (44.1 %). In comparison to diffusion over sinusoidal channels in ZSM-5, ZSM-11 zeolite with tortuous and straight channels facilitated rapid mass transport at low coke deposition.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
