Abstract

Pt/TiO2/ZSM-5 catalyst with dehydrogenation-cracking bifunctionality catalytic activity was prepared by modifying ZSM-5 zeolite with titanium dioxide (TiO2) via sol-gel method and then loading Pt to the titanium modified ZSM-5 zeolite by incipient impregnation method. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by means of XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, TEM, XPS and NH3-TPD to analyze crystal structure, pore properties, morphology, valence states of active metal and acid properties of the catalyst, and the catalytic performance for the cracking of n-butane into light olefins was investigated. The results showed that the introduction of titanium dioxide provided additional acid sites to ZSM-5 zeolite, especially increasing the strong acid centers and enhancing the activation of n-butane. In addition, after reduction in hydrogen atmosphere, the partially reduced Ti3+ species was generated which was catalyzed by platinum due to the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Pt and TiO2. The formation of appropriate amount of Ti3+ species enhanced the electron density around Pt, and thus weakened the adsorption of ethene and propene on Pt atoms. After reduction by hydrogen at 450℃, n-butane conversion of 76.1% and yield of light olefins (C2=-C3=) of 50.9% were achieved at the reaction temperature of 625℃ over Pt/10TiO2/ZSM-5 catalyst, which was 16.7% and 12.6% higher than those of Pt/ZSM-5 catalyst, respectively.
