Abstract

ZSM-5 (core)/SAPO-11 (shell) composite molecular sieve was synthesized by the hydrothermal method in order to combine the advantages of ZSM-5 and SAPO-11 materials for the methylation of naphthalene with methanol. For comparison, the catalytic performance of mechanical mixture of ZSM-5 and SAPO-11 was also evaluated. The characterization results proved that ZSM-5/SAPO-11 composite has a core-shell structure. The pore size of the composite was between that of ZSM-5 and SAPO-11. The composite had fewer acid sites than ZSM-5 and mechanical mixture, but more acid sites than SAPO-11. The experimental results indicated that the composite exhibited good catalytic performance in the methylation of naphthalene with methanol.
