The selective production of ethylene from the direct conversion of propylene (propylene-to-ethylene, PTE) was examined for the first time using various types of 8-membered ring (8-MR) zeolite materials with different pore structures. Among these 8-MR zeolites, SSZ-13 zeolite with a threedimensional chabazite structure exhibited the highest ethylene yield. To increase the ethylene selectivity further, the PTE reactions were conducted over SSZ-13 zeolite external surface modifications with silylation or phosphorus. The external surface modifications enhanced the ethylene selectivity due to the passivation of external acid sites. The surface-modified SSZ-13 catalyst exhibited the highest selectivity to ethylene, at more than 90% at 450 °C, a WHSV of 0.33 h, and a propylene particle pressure of 0.1 MPa.
首次使用具有不同孔结构的各种八元环(8-MR)沸石材料研究了由丙烯直接转化制乙烯(丙烯制乙烯,PTE)的选择性生产。在这些8-MR沸石中,具有三维菱沸石结构的SSZ-13沸石表现出最高的乙烯产率。为了进一步提高乙烯选择性,在经硅烷化或磷改性的SSZ-13沸石外表面上进行PTE反应。外表面改性由于外酸位点的钝化而提高了乙烯选择性。表面改性的SSZ-13催化剂对乙烯表现出最高的选择性,在450℃、WHSV为0.33 h⁻¹和丙烯分压为0.1 MPa时超过90%。
