Abstract:

Pseudo-boehmite is prepared from industrial grade aluminum sulfate and sodium meta-aluminate coming from waste FCC catalysts. The effects of preparation technology, conditions and modification on crystal type, pore structure, surface acidity and morphology of pseudo-boehmites are investigated. The activity and selectivity of Pd/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by modified Al2O3 carrier and PdCl2 and Pd(acac)2 precursors for the selective hydrogenation of isoporone CC are studied. The pseudo-boehmite with specific surface area of 413 m2/g, pore volume of 0.84 cm3/g and pore size of 6.84 nm is obtained at the optimized preparation conditions. After the addition of ammonium carbonate and sodium silicate, the pore volume of pseudo-boehmite increases to 0.98 cm3/g and 1.53 cm3/g, and the average pore size increases to 7.70 nm and 12.34 nm, respectively. The Pd/Al2O3 catalyst that is prepared using Al2O3 obtained by ammonium carbonate modifier as the carrier and PdCl2 as the precursor shows an activity of 98.69% for the selective hydrogenation of isophorone CC, more than 99% selectivity of 3,3,5-trimethyl-cycloheeanon (TMCH), and high activity stability.
