Abstract
Butane, mainly derived from catalytic cracking in petroleum processing, has a low chemical utilization. Catalytic cracking of butane can improve the efficiency of butane utilization by producing ethylene and propylene. Herein, the bifunctional Ni-loaded HZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts, which had dehydrogenation-cracking synergism and micro-mesoporous structure, were synthesized by the alkaline treatment of HZSM-5 and incipient wetness impregnation method. The structural and chemical characteristics of the Ni-HZSM-5/MCM-41 were systematically investigated. The catalytic performance of n-butane cracking was evaluated. The synergistic modulation of acid property regulation, micro-mesoporous regulation, and the introduction of Ni enhanced the performance of n-butane cracking. Compared with pure HZSM-5, the Ni-HZSM-5/MCM-41 had appropriate surface acid strength and acidic site distribution. The micro-mesoporous composite structure enhanced the resistance to carbon accumulation, the activation and dehydrogenation performance of alkanes with low temperatures, and the selectivity of light olefins. A reaction pathway was put forward for the catalytic cracking of n-butane on Ni-HZSM-5/MCM-41.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
