Production ofC3+Olefins and Propylene from Ethanol by Zr-Modified H-ZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts

Acidity Characterization of H-zsm-5 Catalysts Modified by Pre-coking and Silylation

A comprehensive study on the acidic and coking properties of selectivated H-ZSM-5 catalysts during xylene isomerization has been made. The effects of surface modification by pre-coking and silylation on the nature and location of carbonaceous deposits and on related acidic features of the spent catalysts were respectively characterized by Xe NMR of adsorbed Xe and solid-state P MAS NMR of adsor...

Dehydration of Methanol to Dimethyl Ether Employing Modified H-ZSM-5 Catalysts

Preparation of H-ZSM-5 Nano-Zeolite Using Mixed Template Method and its Activity Evaluation for ethanol to DME Reaction

H-ZSM-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a template in the presence of various TPABr concentrations. The effect of different TPABr/TPAOH molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T=300°C, P=1 atm, and WHSV=...

Hydrogen production by steam reforming of dimethyle ether over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 and H-ZSM-5 catalysts: An experimental and modeling study

Hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of dimethyl ether (DME) using a physical mixture of commercial HZSM-5 zeolite (for DME hydrolyzing) and Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 (for methanol steam reforming) as a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. The experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and in a temperature range from 270 to 310 °C. The effects of feed temperature and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV)...

Evaluation of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Polypropylene Modified with Nanostructured ZSM-5 Zeolite

Polypropylene (PP) has been one of the most widely used polymers due to the versatility and cost benefits obtained with this material. In this work, composites of PP modified with nanostructured ZSM-5 zeolite were prepared and their thermal and mechanical properties were evaluated. Zeolites were synthetized by hydrothermal method and the crystallization time was modified to evaluate the effect ...
