Innovation in advanced processes for biofuels production: materials, mechanisms, and performances (part 1)
Structure-activity Correlation between Commercial and Synthesized Zeolite based Catalyst in Upgrading Process for Sustainable Bio-jet Fuel Production
Short Introductive summary
In this study, commercial beta zeolites with SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 25 was utilized as baseline materials to compare with modified beta zeolites, aiming to assess the impact of structural properties on catalytic performance. Top-down synthesis method was mainly applied to construct hierarchical structures within the beta framework, using organic mesoporogens. The resulting beta zeolites were subsequently impregnated with platinum, yielding Pt/Beta-Zeolite catalysts, which were reduced and evaluated in a batch reactor. The findings indicate that the catalysts employing modified zeolites exhibit different performances, compared with reference catalyst that employs commercial beta zeolite. The yield of targeted hydrocarbons (C8–C15, excluding C16) acquired was 23wt% at 280°C. This work provides a valuable foundation for the rational design of zeolite-based catalysts optimized for the efficient conversion of n-hydrocarbons in fuel upgrading applications.
