Abstract
This work describes the catalytic performances of attapulgite/ZSM-5 extrudate in comparison to conventional alumina-bound ZSM-5 extrudate in toluene methylation. The novel attapulgite/ZSM-5 extrudate is prepared by using natural clay attapulgite as binder which introduces mobile alkaline species and macropores to the extrudate. In contrast to alumina-bound extrudate, this novel extrudate shows significantly higher para-selectivity and stability. By using characterization techniques, including in-situ XRD, SEM, NH3 temperature programmed desorption (TPD), thermogravimetric analysis and n-hexane/cyclohexane physical adsorption, the catalytic performance improvement of attapulgite/ZSM-5 extrudate is correlated with the neutralization of Brønsted acid sites by mobile alkaline species during calcination and reaction process. Moreover, a higher para-selectivity was obtained over attapulgite-bound modified ZSM-5 extrudate. The strategy of extruding ZSM-5 catalysts with attapulgite as binder is facile and universal. Such method paves a new way for preparation of shaped toluene methylation catalyst with enhanced para-selectivity and stability.
