Dealumination of mordenite zeolite and its catalytic performance evaluation in m-xylene isomerization reaction

Preparation and characterization of template-free mordenite type zeolite and comparison of m-xylene isomerization reaction over mordenite and SAPO-11

In this work, Mordenite zeolite was successfully synthesized with Si/Al ratio of 18 in absence of organic template. The hydrothermal method was applied for synthesis under optimum conditions: 24 h synthesis time, 180°C temperature and 2 days aging time. The obtained zeolite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Trans...

Modification of the properties of EU-1 and mordenite zeolites by dealumination method and investigation and comparison of their performance in xylene isomerization process

The synthesized zeolites of EU-1 and mordenite were modified via dealumination process with Nitric acid and changes of their properties including surface area, diameter, pore volume and Si/Al ratio were investigated. The catalytic performance of these two zeolites was tested and compared together in xylene isomerization process at a fixed bed reactor. The results showed that due to modification...

Effects of Dealumination and Desilication of Beta Zeolite on Catalytic Performance in n-Hexane Cracking

Catalytic cracking of n-hexane to selectively produce propylene on Beta zeolite was carried out. The H-Beta (HB) (Si/Al = 77) zeolite showed higher catalytic stability and propylene selectivity than the Al-rich HB (Si/Al = 12), due to its smaller number of acid sites, especially Lewis acid sites (LAS). However, catalytic stability and propylene selectivity in high n-hexane conversions were stil...
