Abstract
ZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios and modified with phosphorus were synthesized and characterized. The nano-ZSM-5 powder and nano-ZSM-5 coated on the monolith were assessed for methanol to propylene reaction in a fixed-bed reaction system. Nano-ZSM-5 having silica/alumina molar ratio of 280:1 had the highest propylene selectivity, indicating that the propylene selectivity increased with increasing silica/alumina ratio of the zeolite. Higher propylene selectivity was achieved with nano-zeolite coated on monolith as compared to pelletized nano-ZSM-5. For 100% methanol conversion, the amount of zeolite used in monolithic catalyst was several times less than the powdered catalyst. 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).
