Abstract

Abstract The formation of carbonaceous compounds «coke from propene and isobutene on 5A zeolites with different degrees of calcium exchange (55, 75 and 85%) and their effects on the capacity for nitrogen adsorption were investigated in a microbalance system. The operating conditions of coking were as follows: 150 and 350°C, pressure of alkene of 97kPa, 0.085g of zeolite and operating time from 2 min to 24h. The higher the temperature and the degree of exchange, the faster the coke formation. Coke constituted mainly by oligomers at 150°C and of aromatics (alkylbenzenes and alkylnaphthalenes) at 350°C are trapped in the α cages. The significant decrease in the pore volume accessible to nitrogen due to coke showed that whatever their origin, coke molecules are preferentially located in the outer part of the crystallites.
