Abstract:
H
β zeolite was modified with different contents of F to prepare the Mo-Ni/F-H
β catalysts. The Mo-Ni/F-H
β catalysts were characterized by nitrogen physisorption, NH
3-TPD, XRD, Py-FTIR and SEM; the effect of modification to H
β with F on the catalytic performance of Mo-Ni/F-H
β in the sulfur transfer reactions such as etherification of mercaptan and alkylation of thiophene in FCC gasoline was then investigated. The results indicate that the Mo-Ni/F-H
β catalyst prepared with 0.5% F-modified H
β zeolite can promote the thioetherification and thiophene alkylation reactions and improve the selectivity of dienes hydrogenation. The introduction of F can enhance the medium strong acid content of H
β zeolite, reduce the strong acid content, and increase the ratio of L/B acid sites, all these may contribute to improving the catalytic performance of Mo-Ni/F-H
β in the sulfur transfer reactions of FCC gasoline.
