Abstract: | The alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene on dealuminated hexagonal H EMT and dealuminated cubic faujasite H FAU with Si/Al ratios of 5–6 was studied at 80°C and compared with results obtained for the as-synthesized and calcined parent material with Si/Al ratios of 3.5. In both cases, the dealuminated samples favour an improved profile with respect to the alkylate yield and selectivity after 3 h reaction time, with dealuminated H EMT as the superior system. The alkylate composition consisted of 76% and about 70% C8 paraffins for dealuminated H EMT and dealuminated H FAU, respectively. Within the C8 fractions the three trimethylpentanes (TMP) 2,3,3-, 2,3,4- and 2,2,4-TMP were the dominating product compounds in all tests, whereas a higher content of dimethylhexanes (DMH) was observed for the H FAUs, both dealuminated and parent material. However, among the four trimethylpentanes (2,2,3-, 2,2,4-, 2,3,3- and 2,3,4-TMP) usually the 2,3,3-TMP and 2,3,4-TMP were the main compounds formed, at least for the dealuminated samples. Oligomerization was suppressed by using the dealuminated samples, however, increasing amounts of C8 olefins after about one half of the monitored reaction time was observed for the H FAUs. By contrast, the H EMTs exhibited much less formation of C8 olefins (and on a constant level) even after 300 min reaction time. The deactivated samples showed mainly formation of paraffinic coke. |
