Abstract:Y zeolites with different meso-micro-porous structures and acidity were prepared by different post treatments. These Y zeolites were prepared into hydroalkylation catalyst, and were evaluated by benzene hydroalkylation. The experimental results showed that the catalysts with high acid concentration had high hydroalkylation activity, which was beneficial to increase the selectivity of cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) and dicyclohexylbenzene (DCHB), and the selectivity of hydrogenation production cyclohexane (CH) was decreased. However, the activity of the catalyst prepared by microporous Y zeolites gradually decreased. If the acid amount was sufficient, the catalysts prepared by mesoporous Y zeolites showed stable hydroalkylation activity. The conversion of benzene and the selectivity of alkylation products were improved. High yield of DCHB and selectivity of p-DCHB were observed. Therefore, in order to increase the hydroalkylation activity and stability of catalysts, it was not only necessary to increase the number of acidic centers, but also to increase the mesoporous ratio of zeolite.
