N2 - MTT zeolites with better catalytic properties were developed by optimization of synthesis parameters, surfactant mediated synthesis, seeded-assisted synthesis, and alkaline post-treatment. The MTT zeolites were used to produce propylene with high selectively in n-hexane cracking. The n-hexane was chosen as model compound for naphtha. For conventional MTT zeolite, rapid deactivation was observed. With modified MTT nanocrystals, the propylene yields were higher than ethylene without significant deactivation. The propylene/ethylene (P/E) ratio surpassed 2:1. The high P/E ratio made MTT zeolite suitable as selective catalyst for catalytic cracking of naphtha to produce high yield propylene, petrochemical-FCC, a dedicated fluid catalytic cracking unit for propylene production, and related shape-selective applications in petroleum and petrochemicals. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 22nd Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2012 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 11/25-26/2012).
