Abstract

Several ZSM-23 zeolites with different acid distributions are synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization and changing the species of aluminum source via conventional hydrothermal synthesis. The crystallinity, micropores, external specific surface area and the Si/Al ratios are measured by XRD, BET, ICP and XPS, indicating that both the body phase and the surface of the zeolite synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization have higher Si/Al ratio, and the zeolite synthesized with aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source exhibit the largest specific surface area. The properties of acidity and Pt obtained by NH3-TPD, TEM, Py-IR and H2-TPR show that the suitable B-acid distribution leads to high Pt dispersion over the zeolite. Applying these catalysts to the isomerization of n-dodecane, the zeolite synthesized with aluminum sulfate as aluminum source by two-step temperature-varied crystallization shows the best isomerization performance, that the selectivity of i-dodecane reaches 81.2% at 90.7% conversion. Therefore, the matching of acidity, external specific surface area and Pt dispersion of the zeolites is the key to improve the isomerization performance of long-chain alkanes.
