Abstract
Nickel containing BEA zeolites, NiSiBEA and NiHAlBEA, with 2wt% of Ni were prepared by a two-step postsynthesis method and conventional wet impregnation. The calcination of NiSiBEA and NiHAlBEA at 773K for 3h in air led to the formation of C-NiSiBEA and C-NiHAlBEA. After reduction at 873K for 3h in flowing 10% H2/Ar, red-C-NiSiBEA and red-C-NiHAlBEA were obtained and investigated as the catalysts in hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene at 503K. Comparative study performed on red-C-NiSiBEA and red-C-NiHAlBEA showed very high stability of the catalyst prepared by a two-step postsynthesis method and strong deactivation of the catalyst prepared by conventional wet impregnation during ~17h of reaction. Application of both catalysts resulted in high selectivity to unsaturated hydrocarbons that are the most desired products in HDC processes. TPH of the catalysts after kinetic run have shown that the main cause of deactivation of NiHAlBEA is the formation of carbonaceous species during hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene.
