Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, ordered mesoporous HZSM-5 zeolite with different particle sizes (20, 30 and 40 nm) and the Si/Al ratio of 50 was successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. The structure, morphology and surface acidity of the synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, N₂ isothermal adsorption/desorption and Py-FTIR, and their catalytic activities were tested in the methanol to aromatics process on a fixed-bed reactor. The experimental results showed that the catalytic performance of ordered mesoporous HZSM-5 zeolite with different particle sizes was different for the methanol to aromatics reaction. The ordered mesoporous HZSM-5 zeolite of 20 nm exhibited excellent catalytic performance with the selectivity of light aromatics up to 60.0% and no significant deactivation of the catalyst after 51 h of continuous operation.
