Utilization of ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite as FCC catalyst additive for enhancing propylene yield from VGO cracking

A micro-mesoporous ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve (ZM13) was synthesized and tested as an FCC catalyst additive to enhance the yield of propylene from catalytic cracking of vacuum gas oil (VGO). The catalytic performance of the additive was assessed using a commercial equilibrium USY FCC catalyst (E-Cat) in a fixed-bed micro-activity test unit (MAT) at 520?°C and various catalyst/oil ratios. MCM-41, ZSM-5 and two ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites were systematically characterized by complementary techniques such as XRD, BET, FTIR and SEM. The characterization results showed that the composites contained secondary building unit with different textural properties compared to pure ZSM-5 and MCM-41. MAT results showed that the VGO cracking activity of E-Cat did not decrease by using these additives. The highest propylene yield of 12.2 wt% was achieved over steamed ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite additive (ZM13) compared with 8.6 wt% over conventional ZSM-5 additive at similar gasoline yield penalty. The enhanced production of propylene over composite additive was attributed to its mesopores that suppressed secondary and hydrogen transfer reactions and offered easier transport and accessibility to active sites. Gasoline quality was improved by the use of all additives except MCM-41, as octane rating increased by 6?C12 numbers.

Conversion of vegetable oils under conditions of catalytic cracking

The effect of the composition of zeolite containing catalyst, the conditions of conducting the process, and the nature of oils on the distribution of target products during conversion under conditions of catalytic cracking is studied. The study is performed on bizeolite catalysts containing zeolites (ultrastable Y and ZSM-5 at different ratios) and on catalyst LUX containing18 wt % of zeolite Y in the HREY form. It is shown that the presence of zeolite ZSM-5 in the catalyst composition promotes the formation of olefines C₂–C₄. An increase in the severity of cracking process (elevated temperatures and catalyst: raw material ratios) improves the yield of gaseous products and coke with a simultaneous reduction in the yield of the gasoline fraction. The effect the nature of vegetable oils has is studied using the examples of palm, rapeseed, mustard, and sunflower oils. It is demonstrated that for the maximum yield of olefines C₂–C₄ and gasoline, we must use oils with elevated contents of saturated fatty acids. The regularities of the simultaneous cracking of sunflower oil and vacuum gas oil are studied. It is been found that upon simultaneous cracking, the total conversion of the mixed feedstock and yield of gasoline fraction increase; the maximum effect is attained with the addition of 3–10 wt % of vegetable oil.     

MCM-41-supported Co-Mo catalysts for deep hydrodesulfurization of light cycle oil

Light cycle oil (LCO), a by-product of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process in a petroleum refinery, can be used as a blendstock for the production of diesel and jet fuels. Regulatory and operational issues result in need for new and more active catalysts for the deep hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of diesel feedstocks, such as LCO. This paper reports the activity of a mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41-supported Co-Mo catalyst in comparison to a commercial γ-alumina (Al₂O₃)-supported Co-Mo catalyst for the desulfurization of a LCO with a sulfur content of 2.19 wt.%. The HDS of dibenzothiophene, 4-methyldibenzothiophene, and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene—polyaromatic sulfur compounds present in LCO—and their relative reactivities in terms of conversion were examined as a function of time on stream in a fixed-bed flow reactor. The MCM-41-supported catalyst demonstrates consistently higher activity for the HDS of the refractory dibenzothiophenic sulfur compounds, particularly 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene. The presence of a large concentration of aromatics in LCO appears to inhibit the HDS of the substituted dibenzothiophenes.     

Exploring suitable ZSM-5/MCM-41 zeolites for catalytic cracking of n-dodecane: Effect of initial particle size and Si/Al ratio

In this study, various ZSM-5/MCM-41 micro/mesoporous zeolite composites have been prepared by alkalidesilication and surfactant-directed recrystallization of ZSM-5. The effects of particle size and Si/Al ratio of initial ZSM-5 zeolites on the structure and catalytic performance of ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites are studied. The results of XRD, TEM N₂-adsorption-desorption, NH₃-TPD and in situ FT-IR revealed that ordered hexagonal MCM-41 mesopores with 3-4 nm pore size were formed around ZSM-5 crystals, and the specific surface area and mesopore volume of composites increased with increasing the Si/Al ratio of initial ZSM-5. Catalytic cracking of n-dodecane (550 ℃, 4 MPa) showed that the ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites obtained from the high Si/Al ratio and nano-sized initial ZSM-5 zeolites exhibited superior catalytic performance, with the improvement higher than 87% in the catalytic activities and 21% in the deactivation rate compared with untreated zeolites. This could be ascribed to their suitable pore structure, which enhanced the diffusion of reactant molecules in pores of catalysts.     

The preparation of Fe<Superscript>3+</Superscript> ion-exchanged mesopore containing ZSM-5 molecular sieves and its high catalytic activity in the hydroxylation of phenol

A series of Fe³⁺ containing catalysts were synthesized using ion-exchange technique over hierarchically porous ZSM-5 (M-ZSM-5) and micro-mesoporous composite ZSM-5/MCM-41 (ZSM-5/MCM-41), respectively. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, N₂ adsorption–desorption, UV–Vis spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. The characterization results exhibit that the hierarchically porous ZSM-5 was synthesized with intracrystalline mesopores, while the micro-mesoporous composite ZSM-5/MCM-41 was prepared with the well-ordered mesopores. Furthermore, the results also prove that the existence of iron in the catalysts was mainly presented in the form of Fe³⁺ ions. Catalytic performances of the samples for phenol hydroxylation were compared by using H₂O₂ as oxidant. Under the optimized conditions, Fe³⁺ ion-exchanged M-ZSM-5 (Fe-M-ZSM-5) shows that a phenol conversion of 42.3% obtained with 92.5% selectivity to dihydroxybenzenes, whereas Fe³⁺ ion-exchanged ZSM-5/MCM-41 (Fe-ZSM-5/MCM-41) give 46.2% phenol conversion and 90.1% dihydroxybenzenes selectivity, which are all better than most reported results. The recyclability tests show that Fe-ZSM-5/MCM-41 with ordered mesoporous structure and bigger surface area has better anti-deactivation performance than Fe-M-ZSM-5. The excellent catalytic performances were due to the improved diffusion performance with newly created mesopores and the highly active Fe³⁺ species obtained by ion-exchange technique.     

高硅ZSM-5在辛烷值助剂中的应用

研究了不同硅铝比ZSM-5分子筛的催化裂化反应性能,结果表明,高硅铝比ZSM-5分子筛能实现提高汽油辛烷值的同时控制液化气产率增幅较小。考察不同硅铝比的高硅ZSM-5分子筛的反应性能,高硅ZSM-5助剂在ACE装置上的评价结果表明,助剂能使液化气和汽油辛烷值小幅增加,同时也能增加汽油中的芳烃含量。随着ZSM-5分子筛硅铝比的增加,助剂控制液化气的性能逐渐增强,但同时提高汽油辛烷值的性能逐渐减弱。在实际应用中,适宜的ZSM-5分子筛硅铝比应根据目标用户的实际情况和要求灵活选择。

Fuels by pyrolysis of waste plastics from agricultural and packaging sectors in a pilot scale reactor

The pyrolysis of waste plastics (so called chemical recycling) is one perspective way of their utilizations, but the end product properties are a key point of the industrial leading of processes. In this paper a pilot scale pyrolysis process has been investigated. Waste plastics were decomposed in a tube reactor at 520 °C, using hourly feed rate of 9.0 kg. Raw materials were selectively collected wastes from agricultural and packaging industry. For supporting the more intensive cracking of CC bonds of main polymer structure a commercial ZSM-5 catalyst was tested in concentration of 5.0%. Products were separated into gases, gasoline, light and heavy oil by distillation. Plastic wastes could be converted into gasoline and light oil with yields of 20–48% and 17–36% depending on the used parameters. The gas and liquid products had significant content of unsaturated hydrocarbons, principally olefins. In the presence of ZSM-5 catalyst the yields of lighter fractions (especially gasoline) could be considerably increased and the average molecular weight of each fraction has decreased. Gasoline had C₅–C₁₅ hydrocarbons, while light oil had C₁₂–C₂₈. The used catalyst has promoted the formation of i-butane in gases and affected the composition of both gasoline and light oil. Properties of products are advantageous for fuel-like applications, and they are able to increase the productivity of refinery. On the other hand the possibility for further utilization of products from pyrolysis basically was affected by the source and the properties of raw materials. Waste polyethylene from agricultural consisted of some elements from fertilizers (N, S, P and Ca), which could not be removed from the surfaces of raw materials by pre-treatment (e.g. washing). In that case significant concentration of N, S, P and Ca can be measured in all products, but the catalyst has decreased the concentration of impurities. Gasoline, light oil and heavy oil were nitrogen free and sulphur content was below 12 mg/kg in hydrocarbons obtained by the pyrolysis of polypropylene waste from packaging.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane over bimetallic mesoporous and microporous zeolites with CO2 as mild oxidant

Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane was tested using carbon dioxide as a mild oxidant over bimetallic Cr–V supported catalysts (MCM-41, ZSM-5, MCM-22 and mesoZSM-5). The textural properties of the catalysts were measured by means of XRD, N₂ adsorption, SEM-EDX, Raman, H₂-TPR, pyridine FT-IR, NH₃ and CO₂-TPD techniques. The metal content of Cr and V was maintained around 1.2 and 2.8 wt% for the catalytic test in packed bed reactor at different temperatures (525–600 °C) for 180 min. 1.2Cr2.8 V/MCM-41 and 1.2Cr2.8 V/ZSM-5 exhibited maximum conversion of 14 and 13.1 %, respectively at 10 min and 600 °C. Significantly, high butenes selectivity was observed over MCM-41 (86.27 %) than ZSM-5 support (58.1 %). The mesoporosity in ZSM-5 had a negative impact on conversion level (7.1 %) but improved the butenes selectivity slightly. 1.2Cr2.8 V/M-22 showed the highest cracking ability leading to overall reduced butenes selectivity (57.9 %). The study shows that over all catalysts, n-butane conversion is independent of CO₂ conversion. 1.2Cr2.8 V/M-22 showed highest CO₂ conversion in the range 2.35–2.2 % between 525 and 550 °C. The apparent activation energies of dehydrogenation and cracking reaction over the four catalysts were evaluated. The ratio of conversion to coke weight per cent over the four catalysts are observed in the following order: 1.2Cr2.8 V/M-41 > 1.2Cr2.8 V/Z-5 > 1.2Cr2.8 V/mesoZ-5 > 1.2Cr2.8 V/M-22.

动植物油生产清洁燃料和低碳烯烃的替代加工工艺

Since the production cost of biodiesel is now the main hurdle limiting their applicability in some areas, catalytic cracking reactions represent an alternative route to utilization of vegetable oils and animal fats. Hence, catalytic transformation of oils and fats was carried out in a laboratory-scale two-stage riser fluid catalytic cracking （TSRFCC） unit in this work. The results show that oils and fats can be used as FCC feed singly or co-feeding with vacuum gas oil （VGO）, which can give high yield （by mass）of liquefied petroleum gas （LPG）, C2-C4 oletms, tor example 45% LPG, 47% C2-C4 olefins, and 77.6% total liquid yield produced with palm oil cracking. Co-feeding with VGO gives a high yield of LPG （39.1%） and propylene （18.1%）. And oxygen element content is very low （about 0.5%） in liquid products, hence, oxygen is removed in the form of H2O, CO and CO2. At the same time, high concentration of aromatics （C7-C9 aromatics predominantly） in the gasoline fraction is obtained after TSRFCC reaction of palm oil, as a result of large amount of hydrogen-transfer, cyclization and aromatization reactions, Additionally, most of properties of produced gasoline and diesel oil fuel meet the requirements of national standards, containing little sulfur. So TSRFCC technology is thought to be an alternative processing technology leading to production of clean fuels and light olefins.     

Gas–oil cracking activity of hydrothermally stable aluminosilicate mesostructures (MSU-S) assembled from zeolite seeds: Effect of the type of framework structure and porosity

Aluminosilicate mesostructures (MSU-S_BEA) assembled from zeolite Beta (BEA) seeds exhibited relatively high hydrothermal stability and were significantly more active in the cracking of gas–oil compared to MCM-41 after severe steaming pretreatment. The MSU-S_BEA mesoporous materials with wormhole framework structure and those having morphology of solid nanoparticles with high interparticle mesoporosity were more steam-stable and more active after severe steaming than those with hexagonal pore structure. Differences in acid sites strength between the MSU-S_BEA materials and MCM-41 could not be probed by the complex reaction system of the large hydrocarbon molecules of gas–oil.
