Shape Selectivity in Hydroisomerization of Hexadecane over Pt Supported on 10-Ring Zeolites: ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-35, and ZSM-48
文摘
Hydroisomerization of long chain n-alkanes has been playing an important role in the petroleum industry, in which heavy distillate and residue are converted into value-added products such as gasoline, jet fuel, other middle distillates and lubricant oils. Herein, 10-ring zeolites, including ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-35, and ZSM-48 were studied for the process. ZSM-35 and ZSM-48 are relatively less studied zeolites as hydroisomerization reaction catalysts though they are expected to display interesting shape selective properties. A higher conversion was obtained over Pt-ZSM-35 and a higher selectivity was obtained over Pt-ZSM-23 at low temperature and short contact time, and a higher selectivity was obtained over Pt-ZSM-48 at high temperature and long contact time, while the mixed catalysts displayed interesting conversion and selectivity. Small differences in the channel system have a notable influence on the product distribution of hexadecane hydroisomerization over 10-ring zeolites. A combination of the evidence of no absence of multibranched products and the length of hexadecane molecular could infer that hexadecane hydroisomerization includes a pore mouth reaction mechanism.
