Title: Study of the Hydrogen Pretreatment of Gallium and Platinum Promoted ZSM-5 for the Ethane Dehydroaromatization Reaction

Journal Article · · Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Here, the performances of gallium and platinum promoted ZSM-5 catalysts, fresh and reduced, were studied for the dehydroaromatization of ethane to aromatics. Fresh and reduced 2% Ga/ZSM-5, 1.5% Ga–0.5% Pt/ZSM-5, and 0.5% Pt/ZSM-5 were tested in a fixed-bed reactor system at 615 °C for 2 h time on stream. It was observed that the hydrogen reduction of the fresh Pt-containing catalysts led to an increase in catalytic conversion. The addition of platinum to the gallium catalyst resulted in an increase in the reducibility of the Ga species on the surface of the zeolite. The GaPt catalysts exhibited an increase in ethane conversion and the stability of aromatic production selectivity over the Ga and Pt catalysts. The as-prepared fresh catalysts were characterized by ICP and BET methods. The fresh and reduced catalysts were further analyzed by XRD, H2-TPR, XPS, pyridine DRIFTS, TGA, and TEM.
