Abstract:

Hydrofloride modified Pt/ZSM-5 catalysts were studied and applied in benzene alkylation with methanol. The effects of acidity and pore structures of the catalysts were studied by NH3-TPD and N2 adsorption. The results show that the acidity and the amount of acidic sites of Pt/ZSM-5 are increased by HF modification and the catalytic performance in benzene methylation with methanol is also enhanced. The selectivity of toluene and xylene can reach to 92.20% when 3%HF-0.2%Pt/ZSM-5 catalyst is used in benzene methylation with methanol. When the loading of HF is more than 6%, partially removed aluminum and silicon from the zeolite framework will block the pores of zeolite resulting in decreasing diffusions of reactants and products, and eventually reducing catalytic performance of zeolites. The calculated activation energy of benzene methylation with methanol in HF modified Pt/ZSM-5 catalyst is 118 kJ/mol.
