Enhancement of Catalytic Activity for Toluene Disproportionation by Loading Lewis Acidic Nickel Species on ZSM-5 Zeolite

抄録

Impregnation of various heteroelements on the ZSM-5 zeolite was applied to improvement of the catalytic activity in toluene disproportionation. Nickel loaded on ZSM-5 (Ni/ZSM-5) exhibited higher catalytic activity (toluene conversion) and lower benzene / xylene ratio (closer to the stoichiometry, meaning low rate of side reaction) than H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The Ni/ZSM-5 with Ni/Al = 0.6 showed the maximum in catalytic activity, and excess Ni loading caused decrease in the conversion and increase in the benzene / xylene ratio due to decrease of acid amount and acceleration of dealkylation, respectively. The detailed analysis of acidic property by means of ammonia IRMS-TPD method showed that the Ni loading generated Lewis acid sites on the zeolite. The synergy of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, ascribed to Si-OH-Al and Ni species, respectively, is suggested to give the high activity of desired reaction.
