RESUMO

Abstract Effects of phosphorus addition to HZSM-5 on ethanol conversion to propylene were evaluated. Catalysts were characterized by XRF, XRD, nitrogen adsorption, 27Al and 31P MAS NMR, n-propylamine and ammonia TPD. Increasing P content decreased the strength and density of acid total sites. Ethanol dehydration was carried out in a fixed bed reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. Conversion was around 100% for all catalysts. 1.2 wt% of P catalyst showed the highest propylene yield, and was used to evaluate temperature and ethanol partial pressure effects on the product distribution. The highest propylene accumulated productivity was obtained for an ethanol partial pressure of 0.4 atm. Propylene formation was favored in the temperature range 475-500 °C. Significant changes in the product distribution as a function of time on stream were observed at higher temperatures, suggesting stronger catalyst deactivation. The ethylene yield decreased up to 500 °C, rising significantly at 550 °C, possibly due to heavier product cracking reactions.
