Abstract
This study evaluated the performance of Ni-X-AlSBA-15 (X = Y, Sm, Gd, and La) catalysts in the ethylene oligomerization processes. The effects of Y, Sm, Gd, and La promoters on the ethylene oligomerization process were examined. The Ni-X-AlSBA-15 (X = Y, Sm, Gd, and La) catalysts demonstrated a considerably enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity compared with that of Ni-AlSBA-15. In particular, the Ni-Gd-AlSBA-15 catalyst achieved the highest conversion of ethylene to butene (50.0 wt.%) after 12 h of time on stream. These enhancements were attributed to the improved dispersion of active sites, the presence of oxygen vacancies, and the optimized densities of the acid and Ni sites, which collectively enhanced the rate of adsorption of ethylene molecules. An increase in the selectivity of butylene (≥ 80%) confirmed that the gadolinium as a promoter had a positive effect on the catalytic activity. Overall, the Gd promoter, coupled with the remarkable benefits of AlSBA-15 in Ni-based catalysts, is promising for butene generation through ethylene oligomerization.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
