Hydroisomerization of C8 aromatic fraction over micro-mesoporous Pt–Mo catalyst
摘要
The micro-mesoporous support was prepared by sequential desilication-dealumination of ZSM-5/Al2O3 pellets. The Pt–Mo catalyst doped with Sn and Zn (Pt–Mo/ZSM-5/Al2O3) was synthesized by wetness co-impregnation technique with aqueous solutions of metal salts to load 0.5% Pt, 2.0% Mo, 0.05% Sn and 0.5% Zn. A comprehensive analysis with XRD, TEM, N2 physisorption, NH3-TPD and XRF was performed to characterize the resulting samples. The Pt–Mo/ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated in isomerization of an industrial C8 aromatic fraction with the commercial catalyst as a counterpart. The catalytic activity was evaluated in the temperature range of 360–400 °C, varying LHSV from 4 to 6 h−1, at H2 pressure of 1.0–1.5 MPa and hydrogen/feedstock volume ratio of 720 nl/l. The best results were achieved at 360℃, P = 1.0 MPa and LHSV = 4 h−1 for the Pt–Mo/ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst: p-xylene/xylenes ratio = 23.9%, xylene loss = 0.4%, ethylbenzene conversion = 66.2%.
