Abstract
Structured zeolites are the potential catalysts for the refinery and petrochemical industry applications. Nano-structured zeolite for hydrocarbon conversion with better hydrothermal stability was studied. The effect of synthesis parameters on the catalyst activity and the hydrothermal stability of nanoscale MFI zeolites were investigated. To develop the hydrophobic zeolites, fluoride media and rare earth metals were used as the hydrophobic agent. The synthesized nanocrystal zeolite catalysts were characterized. Hydrocarbon cracking catalytic testing was carried out to study the conversion, selectivity, reaction stream stability, and coking rate, and nanostructure and microstructure zeolites were compared. The reaction mechanism of shape selectivity of nanocrystal zeolites at moderate temperature and the effect of steam addition to the zeolite stability were discussed. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the Proceedings 26th Saudi Japan Annual Symposium Technology in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals (KFUPM Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 11/7-8/2016).
