Abstract
The isolated impact of the textural properties of hierarchical zeolites on the one-step Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction selectivity was studied. Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with different pore size distributions (PSD) and similar acid properties were successfully prepared evidenced by PXRD, 27Al MAS NMR, N2 physisorption, TEM, TPD NH3 and FTIV. Physical mixtures comprising the zeolites, Co/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 were used for testing. The Mixtures containing Pt/Al2O3 evidenced a decrease on the olefin content of the final products. The addition of zeolite to the mixture increased the CH4 and C2–4 selectivity and a decrease in CO2 selectivity. The hierarchical zeolites increased the selectivity towards liquid products and isomers while decreasing the consecutive cracking. The highest isomer content was obtained with the physical mixture containing the hierarchical zeolite with higher mesopore average size (60 nm) and narrow PSD, suggesting a correlation between the PSD and the isomer content of the final products.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
