Abstract
SSZ-13 zeolite was modified by two kinds of post-treatment methods such as steaming and SiO₂ surface passivation (silylation) for ETP catalyst with high activity. The former steaming treatment was conducted in the range of 400-700 °C, whereas the latter surfaces passivation was applied to a chemical liquid deposition (CLD) technique that uses various silylation agents such as tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), and tetrabuthylorthosilicate (TBOS). Catalysts were characterized by powder-XRD, ICP, Ar-phsisorption, solid-state 27Al MAS NMR, and NH₃-TPD, and their activities were tested in fixed bed reaction system. Regarding the effects of steaming temperature, the results show that a relatively higher selectivity is observed in SSZ-13 catalysts treated at proper steaming temperatures such as 450 and 500 °C compared to parent and other steam treated catalysts. For optimum surface passivation treatments for ETP reactions, one-step surface passivation using TEOS agents among various passivation agents led to enhanced propylene selectivity to 80% when compared with parent and other silylated SSZ-13 catalysts. However, a sequential passivation treatment with a TEOS agent was not highly affected by the reaction activity.
