Abstract

Catalytic cracking of isobutane and 2-methyl-hexane over various USY-zeolite catalysts was studied. A kinetic model was developed for isobutane cracking over calcined and steamed Y-zeolite catalysts. Catalyst steaming leads to decreased Bronsted acidity. The studies of catalyst acid and basic properties were broadened to include alumina-supported metal oxides and a sulfated zirconia catalyst (isomerization of normal butane).

Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of surface acidity. Progress report, July 1, 1993--June 30, 1994

Technical Report Dumesic, J

During the past year, the research involved studies of solid acidity, role of acidity in methylamine synthesis reactions, and catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons. Studies were completed of the acidity of ZSM-5 catalysts, in which effects of non-framework aluminum species on acidity of Broensted acid sites associated with the framework were explored. It was found that microcalorimetric studies of ammonia adsorption at 423 K can be used to determine acid strength distributions of high surface area catalysts. Effects of Sn{sup 2+} and Sn{sup 4+} on acid and base sites of alumina were investigated; the former cation neutralizes the acid and basemore »« less

Superacid catalysis of light hydrocarbon conversion. DOE PETC third quarterly report, February 25, 1994--May 24, 1994

Technical Report Gates, B

Environmental concerns are leading to the replacement of aromatic hydrocarbons in gasoline by high-octane-number branched paraffins and oxygenated compounds such as methyl t-butyl ether. The ether is produced from methanol and isobutylene, and the latter can be formed from n-butane by isomerization followed by dehydrogenation. Paraffin isomerization reactions are catalyzed by very strong acids such as aluminum chloride supported on alumina. The aluminum chloride-containing catalysts are corrosive, and their disposal is expensive. Alternatively, hydroisomerization is catalyzed by zeolite-supported metals at high temperatures, but high temperatures do not favor branched products at equilibrium. Thus there is a need for improved catalystsmore »« less
Superacid catalysis of light hydrocarbon conversion. DOE PETC seventh quarterly progress report, April 1, 1995--July 31, 1995

Technical Report Gates, B

Iron- and manganese-promoted sulfated zirconia is a catalyst for the conversion of propane, but the rate of conversion of propane is much less than the rate of conversion of butane. Whereas this catalyst appears to be a good candidate for practical, industrial conversion of butane, it appears to lack sufficient activity for practical conversion of propane. The propane conversion data reported here provide excellent insights into the chemistry of the catalytic conversion. Solid and catalysts, namely, sulfated zirconia, iron- and manganese-promoted sulfated zirconia, and USY zeolite, were tested for conversion of propane at 1 atm, 200-450{degrees}C, and propane partial pressuresmore »« less

Isobutane cracking over Y-zeolites: I. Development of a kinetic model

Journal Article Yaluris, G; Rekoske, J; Aparicio, L - Journal of Catalysis

The authors have developed a kinetic model for isobutane cracking over calcined and steamed Y-zeolite catalysts based on carbo-cation surface chemistry. The model utilized 21 reaction steps, including initiation, oligomerization, {beta}-scission, olefin desorption, isomerization, and hydride ion transfer, which adequately described the formation of all major products. The authors estimated kinetic parameters using transition state theory, the Evans-Polanyi correlation, and gas phase thermodynamic data. In order to relate the gas phase calculations to the catalyst surface, the authors introduced a parameter {triangle}H{sub +}, which is the heat of stabilization of a carbenium ion relative to the heat of stabilization ofmore »« less

2-Methylhexane cracking on Y zeolites: Catalytic cycles and reaction selectivity

Journal Article Yaluris, G; Madon, R; Dumesic, J - Journal of Catalysis

The authors have formulated a quantitative kinetic model for analyzing the catalytic cracking of 2-methylhexane over USY-zeolite-based catalysts. The model is based on carbocation chemistry which includes carbenium ion initiation, isomerization, olefin desorption, {beta}-scission, oligomerization, and hydride ion transfer reactions. It describes the complex product distribution at different reaction conditions and for catalysts with different Bronsted acid strengths. Three catalytic cycles dominate this reaction and determine activity and selectivity: the initiation/desorption, initiation/{beta}-scission, and hydride ion transfer/{beta}-scission cycles. The rates of these cycles decrease with increasing steaming severity, which reduces catalyst acid strength. The overall site time yield for 2-methylhexane crackingmore »« less
