Abstract:The hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites prepared by using 3-propylaminotriethoxysilane (APTES) as soft template, were post treated with oxalic acid, hydrogen peroxide, or ammonium chloride as different modifying agents without introducing other elements. The effects of different treatment methods on the acid properties, pore structure and cracking reaction performance of n-heptane catalyzed over the zeolites were exhaustively investigated. The results of catalyst characterization showed that different post-treatment methods influenced greatly on the acid strength and acid type of zeolite. Oxalic acid treatment could significantly enhance the acid strength of zeolite, while hydrogen peroxide and ammonium chloride treatment increased the ratio of B acid to L acid. This might be because the free radicals and NH4+ produced by them could promote the conversion of L acid site to B acid site. The catalytic evaluation results indicated that the cracking activity of n-heptane over the zeolites could be improved by increasing the acid strength or the amount of B acid of zeolites, so as to improve the yield of light olefins.
