Abstract
NaZSM-5, HZSM-5, and Ce/HZSM-5 zeolites with a Si/Al ratio of 25 were synthesized via a hydrothermal method developed by our research group, which enables the formation of hierarchical ZSM-5 structures with micro and mesoporosity. These materials were evaluated as catalysts for the glycerol dehydration reaction. The incorporation of cerium oxide into HZSM-5 introduced redox properties that enhanced catalyst stability under oxygen-deficient conditions. When air was co-fed, the oxidative removal of carbonaceous deposits promoted sustained catalytic activity, with Ce/HZSM-5 maintaining consistent performance under both oxidizing and non-oxidizing environments. HZSM-5 also demonstrated stable activity in the presence of oxygen, benefiting from surface regeneration. In contrast, NaZSM-5 exhibited the lowest selectivity, producing a broader range of by-products, a behavior attributed to its lower surface area, limited mesoporosity, and reduced concentration of strong acid sites. These findings highlight the critical role of hierarchical structure, acidity, and redox functionality in enhancing the activity and selectivity of zeolite-based catalysts for acrolein production.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
