Abstract:
HZSM-5 zeolites with different molar ratios of SiO
2/Al
2O
3 were treated by different concentrations of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) solution. HZSM-5 zeolites with micro-meso pores were synthesized. The results show that the treatment of HZSM-5 zeolite with different molar ratios of SiO
2/Al
2O
3 by different concentrations of TPAOH could cause desilication. The pore diameter of mesopores increases with the increase of TPAOH concentration and SiO
2/Al
2O
3 molar ratios. Meanwhile, the acidic properties were adjusted. HZSM-5 zeolites were treated by different concentrations of TPAOH solution, whose SiO
2/Al
2O
3 molar ratios are 50, 80 and 150. HZSM-5 with SiO
2/Al
2O
3 molar ratio of 50 is obviously better than others in the content of relative acid, L-acid, B-acid and the strength of weak acid. HZSM-5 (SiO
2/Al
2O
3 molar ratios is 50) by the treatment of TPAOH in different contents is most preferable for thiophene alkylation.
