Catalyst Equilibration for Transformation of Methanol into Hydrocarbons by Reaction−Regeneration Cycles

Abstract: A study has been made of the activity recovery of H-ZSM5 zeolite based catalysts, which have been used in reaction−regeneration cycles in the transformation of methanol into gasoline. Catalyst stability is sensitive to catalyst calcination conditions (temperature and time) and to zeolite Si/Al ratio. From experiments carried out on automated reaction−regeneration equipment provided with an isothermal fixed-bed reactor, optimum catalyst equilibration conditions have been determined, in order to minimize the irr… Show more

“…Thus, the catalyst particles have been obtained by wet extrusion method and dried in an oven at 110 • C for 24 h; then they have been calcined at 575 • C for 2 h following a temperature ramp of 5 • C·min −1 and sieved to a particle diameter between 0.125 and 0.3 mm. This calcination temperature assures the hydrothermal stability of the acid sites that is required for operating in reaction-regeneration cycles (with regeneration by coke combustion with air at 550 • C), with full recovery of the kinetic performance [54]. Additionally, this agglomeration confers a suitable particle size for its use in the reactor.…”

“…The resulting catalyst has been proven to be hydrothermally stable for the MTG (methanol-to-gasoline) process carried out following reaction-regeneration cycles. 24 The physical properties of the catalyst, determined by N 2 adsorption-desorption in a Micromeritics (Norcross, GA, USA) Figure 1 shows the results of TPD (temperatureprogrammed desorption) of NH 3 for the fresh catalyst. These results have been obtained in an SDT 2960 thermobalance (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) connected online to a Thermostar mass spectrometer (Balzers Instruments, Asslar, Germany).…”
