Abstract
A series of SAPO-11 molecular sieves were synthesized in the concentrated gel system by reducing the water content in the synthesis system. With SAPO-11 molecular sieves as supports, NiW-supported catalysts were prepared for the hydroisomerization of n-hexadecane. SAPO-11 molecular sieves and catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, NH3-TPD, Py-IR, HRTEM and XPS. The results showed that reducing the water content in the synthesis system could increase the mesoporous volume of SAPO-11 molecular sieve and improve the acidity of SAPO-11. For the corresponding catalysts, using SAPO-11 synthesized in concentrated gel system as the support weakened the interaction between the active phase and the support, and increased the dispersion and stacking number of the active phase, which effectively improved the catalytic performance of the catalyst. The yield of i-hexadecane of the catalyst NiW/45W-SA corresponding to SAPO-11 synthesized in conventional water content system was 28.14%, while that of the catalyst NiW/5W-SA corresponding to SAPO-11 synthesized in concentrated gel system was 52.24%. According to the distribution of isomers, it is inferred that hydroisomerization of n-hexadecane over NiW/SAPO-11 follows the pore-mouth mechanism.
