  • A series of MCM -22zeolite catalyst samples were prepared with nitric acid,hydrochloric acid ,acetic acid and formic acid as the peptizators.The zeolites were characterized by means of particle strength apparatus and TG -DTA apparatus to investigate the effect of peptizators on the physical properties of MCM -22catalyst.The results show that the strength and total acid of zeolites with inorganic acid as peptizator are higher than the zeolites with organic acid.With the increasing nitric acid dosage,the mechanical strength of the zeolite catalyst increases at first and then decreases,with the maximal catalyst strength being obtained at a dosage of 10%.The total acid is enhanced by adding the appropriate amount of nitric acid.Taking the alkylation of benzene with propylene as a model reaction,the catalytic performances of the MCM - 22 zeolite catalysts were evaluated by means of a semi-continuous gas -liquid reactor and a liquid-liquid continuous reactor.The experimental results show that activity and selectivity of zeolite in inorganic acid is stronger than that in organic acid.When the nitric acid dosage is
    less than 20%,the activity of MCM -22 zeolite is increased with increasing of nitric acid dosage.The selectivity to cumene reaches a maximum value when nitric acid dosage is 10%.

  • The coking performance for the catalytic pyrolysis of heavy oil with temperature,weight ratios of catalyst -to-oil and steam-to-oil and residence time,was investigated in a confined fluidized bed reactor on catalyst CEP-1,with a special catalyst of catalytic pyrolysis process (CPP) technology.The coke content on catalyst decreases with the increase of the weight ratios of catalyst - to-oil and steam-to-oil and n(H)/n(C) of the feed,and it increases with the enhancement of reaction temperature and aromaticity of the feed.Coke yield increases with increasing reaction temperature,catalyst-to-oil weight ratio and aromaticity,while decreases with increasing steam-to-oil weight ratio and n(H)/n(C) of the feed.Both coke content and coke yield show minimum as residence time of oil gas prolongs.Both n(H)/n(C) and aromaticity of the feed can well reveal the coking tendency of a feed.On the basis of the experimental research,a correlation model of coke content and coke yield with feed property and reaction conditions was established.The parameters in the model were calculated by least square regression.

  • Formed TiO supports were prepared by extrusion process using TiO powder as raw material.The influence of the kinds of peptizers,the contents of citric acid,the contents of nitric acid,and the binder/citric acid mass ratios on properties of the formed TiO supports were investigated,and these supports were characterized by crushing strength test,BET and SEM methods.The results show that all the peptizers can improve the crushing strength of the formed TiOsupports;however, peptizers have little effect on the surface area of the supports. The added citric acid can remarkably increase the crushing strength of the formed TiO supports,and the maximum value can be obtained when mass fraction of 3% citric acid is added. Addition of HNO can increase the crushing strength and narrow the pore size distribution of the formed TiO2 supports.It is also found that the formed TiO supports with high crushing strength,narrow pore size distribution and little surface defects can be prepared using the suitable binder/citric acid mass ratio.Under the preparation conditions of nitric acid mass fraction of 3%,binder/citric acid mass ratio of 4:6 and calcination temperature of 700 ℃,the crushing strength,surface area and pore volume of the formed TiO support can reach 125.8 N/cm,48.6 m /g and 0.33 cm /g,respectively.

  • Extremely pure naphthalene is the raw materials of some high level industrial products, and it can be attained from the industrial naphthalene fraction by desulphurization and purification. The primary impurity in industrial naphthalene fraction is the sulfide thionaphthene, which is very difficult to be removed off by ordinary separation methods. Oxidative desulphurization with oxidant hydrogen peroxide and catalyst formic acid was studied, and the effects of formic acid amount, hydrogen peroxide amount, reaction temperature and reaction time on desulphurization ratio were investigated experimentally. The result indicates that the desulphurization rate simply increases with the increasing of formic acid amount, but it increases at first and then goes down with the increasing of hydrogen peroxide amount, and there is an optical amount range. The viscosity decreases with the increasing of temperature, which is help to the mixing of oil and water phase, and thus to improve the reaction and the desulphurization rate, and the optical temperature is 89~92 ℃. Under the optimized condition of n(H)/n(F)=3.65, n(H)/n(S)=8.49, 89 ℃ and 60 min, the desulphurization rate can reach to 97.90%, and after purified the oil phase by distillation to remove the [KG*4]resultant [KG*4]and [KG*4]the non-sulfide impurity, the  content  of  naphthalene  in  the  product is  more  than 99.90%, and is clearly higher than the industrial product(97.06%).
