Investigation of Effective Parameters Ce and Zr in the Synthesis of H-ZSM-5 and SAPO-34 on the Production of Light Olefins from Naphtha

Abstract

In this paper, Ce and Zr modified commercial SAPO-34 and H-ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized via a wet impregnation method and used as catalysts for the production of light olefins from naphtha. The synthesized catalysts were characterized using SEM, TGA, XRD, BET, and NH3-TPD. Thermal catalytic cracking of parent catalysts (SAPO-34 and H-ZSM-5) and modified catalysts with Ce and Zr on the production of light olefins from naphtha has been studied. The effects of different loading of Ce (2–8 wt.%), Zr (2–5 wt.%), and different temperatures on the yield of ethylene and propylene were also investigated. The yield of ethylene and propylene improved by 21.78 wt% and 23.8 wt%, respectively, over 2% Ce and 2% Zr on SAPO-34 catalyst. This is due to the higher acid sites on the surface of modified catalysts. It was found that H-ZSM-5 with 2% Zr loading has the highest yield of light olefins (40.4%) at 650°C in comparison with unmodified parent catalysts, while Ce loading has less effect on the olefin yield compared to Zr loading. Finally, simultaneous loading of Ce and Zr showed no effect on the light olefin yield owing to the significant decline of acid sites.

The effect of Si/Al ratio of ZSM-12 zeolite on its morphology, acidity and crystal size for the catalytic performance in the HTO process

“…Coke deposits are mainly formed through olefin polymerization during the dehydrogenation reaction, which can be channelized in acidic sites. 51,52 According to Fig. 9, the amount of deposited coke is observed in the order of Z120 > Z160 > Z80.…”

Ways of development of agriculture and processing industry enterprises manufacturing cooperation

“…According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), the agricultural sector is the leader in terms of the number and scale of cooperation, which has developed in 140 countries around the world. According to world statistics, about 20 percent of the world's population is a member of one or more types of agricultural cooperatives [12]. Agricultural cooperatives abroad develop agricultural products has a large weight in the output.…”

Antimicrobial finishing of textiles using nanomaterials

“…The formation of anion/cation bonds leads to the hydrophobicity of the cell wall and prevents the absorption of water (one of the vital factors of the microorganism) and ultimately the multiplication and growth of bacteria. The cell wall may be physically damaged, which will kill the bacteria (Aldeen et al, 2022;Suryatna et al, 2022;Abdelbasset et al, 2022;Zaid et al, 2021). Metallic compounds inhibit the activity of enzymes and disrupt cell fuel (Zaid et al, 2018;Zaid et al, 2018;Kaduim et al, 2021).…”
