Enhanced activity and selectivity in n-octane isomerization using a bifunctional SCILL catalyst
Meyer,Hager,Schwieger,Wasserscheid
, p. 157 - 165 (2012)
Bifunctional Solid Catalyst with Ionic Liquid Layer (SCILL) systems are presented and applied in the skeleton isomerization of n-octane in a slurry-phase reaction mode. It is demonstrated that Pt on silica, coated with a thin film of acidic chloroaluminate ionic liquid exhibits remarkable catalytic performance under mild conditions in the presence of hydrogen. Interestingly, both selectivity and activity of n-octane isomerization increase in these systems as a function of hydrogen pressure. This does not only suggest a hydrogenation activity of the catalytic Pt-centers embedded in the strongly Lewis acidic ionic liquid but also a significant increase in the proton acidity in this system as a function of the hydrogen pressure.

A bimetallic-support interaction through Pt-Zn nanoparticles and uniform compact cylindrical ZSM-5 particles shows selectivity over 90% towards BTX and i-octane at controlled 60% conversion with negligible coke formation when reforming n-octane. This is a significant improvement compared to alternative Pt-Zn on conventional ZSM-5, with a selectivity of less than 40%.

For high caloricity and stability in bio-aviation fuels, a certain content of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHCs, 8-25 wt%) is crucial. Fatty acids, obtained from waste or inedible oils, are a renewable and economic feedstock for AHC production. Considerable amounts of AHCs, up to 64.61 wt%, were produced through the one-step hydroprocessing of fatty acids over Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts. Hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and aromatization constituted the principal AHC formation processes. At a lower temperature, fatty acids were first hydrosaturated and then hydrodeoxygenated at metal sites to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Alternatively, the unsaturated fatty acids could be directly deoxygenated at acid sites without first being saturated. The long-chain hydrocarbons were cracked into gases such as ethane, propane, and C6-C8 olefins over the catalysts' Br?nsted acid sites; these underwent Diels-Alder reactions on the catalysts' Lewis acid sites to form AHCs. C6-C8 olefins were determined as critical intermediates for AHC formation. As the Ni content in the catalyst increased, the Br?nsted-acid site density was reduced due to coverage by the metal nanoparticles. Good performance was achieved with a loading of 10 wt% Ni, where the Ni nanoparticles exhibited a polyhedral morphology which exposed more active sites for aromatization.
