Controlling coke deactivation and cracking selectivity of MFI zeolite by H3PO4 or KOH modification

‏‎suppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors‎‏

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

Enhancement of CO2/CH4 Adsorptive Selectivity by Functionalized Nano Zeolite

In this work, we have modified a synthesized Y-type zeolite (Si/Al = 2.5), with three different amines to investigate of the influence of adsorbent’s surface modification on CO2 selectivity over CH4. The pristine and amine-functionalized NaY zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and N2 adsorption. The resu...

Crystallographic Structure Determination of MFI-Zeolite Nanosheets

Ultrathin MFI-zeolite nanosheets can be packed on porous supports to create molecular sieve membranes. The nanosheets on porous support reduce morphological damage seen in regular MFIzeolite crystals [1]. MFI-zeolite belongs to pentasil family of zeolites where the periodic building unit (PerBU) is composed of 12 interconnected SiO4 tetrahedral (T12) units of 41m2 (D2d) symmetry [2]. Rotation o...

Tubular MFI Zeolite Membranes Made by In-Situ Crystallization

Polycrystalline MFI zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 K. The synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by XRD, SEM and single gas permeation. The influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. MFI zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal ...
