The process of conversion of light alkanes into aromatic hydrocarbons on zeolite catalysts, modified with Zn, La, Fe and Zr was investigated in this work. The catalysts were tested in the conversion process of propane-butane and propane-propylene mixtures at atmospheric pressure, variation of temperature and space velocity (SV). It is observed that the maximum amount of aromatic hydrocarbons (34.6%) are formed in the conversion of propane-butane mixture over Zn-La-Fe-ZSMAl 2 O 3 catalyst at 550 o C, selectivity to aromatic hydrocarbons is 39,2%.
The paper describes the study of the gasoline fraction hydrofining on the zeolite-containing alumina catalysts modified with variable valence metals, additives of phosphorus and a rare-earth element. In this work, the new zeolite-containing alumina catalysts were developed: NiO-MoO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 , CoO-MoO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 and CoO-WO 3 -E-P-Al 2 O 3 -ZSM, where E is a rare-earth element. The research was carried out under high-pressure at the flow installation with a fixed catalyst bed. The smallest residual sulfur content (0.0005%) is observed in hydrotreated gasoline on the catalyst CoO-WO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 , which is 2-4 times lower than on the catalysts CoO-MoO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 and NiO-MoO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 and lower than is limited by the Euro-5 standard. When tested on the NiO-MoO 3 -E-P-HZSM-HY-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, the octane number of the gasoline as a result of hydrotreating increased to 88.6, which is significantly higher than on other catalysts. According to electron microscopy, the catalysts are highly dispersed, the components of the active phase metals are mainly in the oxidized state, forming clusters-associates on the surface. The structure, dispersion and state of the clusters are related to the nature of the catalyst components. The synthesized catalysts make it possible to produce high-octane low-sulfur gasoline that meets European standards.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
