Abstract: | The catalytic cracking of n-heptane has been performed over HZSM-5 catalysts with various Si/Al ratios at 723-923 K to form light olefins selectively. The HZSM-5 zeolites with various acid site densities exhibited almost the same selectivity at the same conversion. The ethylene + propylene selectivity increased, while the propylene/ethylene ratio decreased with an increase in reaction temperatures. It is found that a high temperature is required to obtain a high ethylene + propylene yield. The highest ethylene + propylene yield obtained in this study was 59.7 C-% with a propylene/ethylene ratio of ca. 0.72 at 99.6% conversion over HZSM-5 (Si/Al = 31) at 923 K. Moreover, it is concluded from the selectivities and activation energies that the monomolecular cracking is predominant at a high temperature as 923 K. |
