Effect of the degree of zeolite recrystallization into micro-mesoporous materials on their catalytic properties in petroleum refining and petroleum chemistry processes
It has been shown that by varying the degree of recrystallization of zeolites, it is possible to obtain mesostructured zeolites (RZEO-1), micro-mesoporous nanocomposites (RZEO-2), and mesoporous materials with zeolite fragments (RZEO-3). The main features of the effect of recrystallization degree of MOR, BEA, and FER zeolites on their catalytic properties in the processes of cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene, skeletal isomerization of butene-1, hydroisomerization of n-alkanes, alkylation of benzene with dodecene-1, alkylation of naphthalene with cyclohexene, and disproportionation of cumene have been revealed. It has been found that each type of catalytic reaction requires a micro-mesoporous catalyst with an optimal degree of recrystallization. Zeolites RZEO-1 are the most efficient in the reactions that require strong acidity; zeolites RZEO-2 are the most promising in consecutive reactions and reactions that proceed in pore mouths; and RZEO-3 are optimal for transformations of bulky molecules.
