Abstract

Influence of zeolite acidity (strong acid sites measured in terms of the pyridine chemisorbed at 400°C) and non-framework Ga-species present in the zeolite channels on the conversion (total and to aromatics) and selectivity in the aromatization of n-heptane at 500°C over the H-AlMFI (H-ZSM-5), Ga/ H-AlMFI, H-GaMFI and H-GaAlMFI zeolite catalysts (GHSV=3400 and 13,600 h-1) has been investigated. Among the zeolite catalysts, the H-GaAlMFI (with high acidity and high non-FW Ga) showed the highest n-heptane conversion and aromatization activity. Both the zeolitic acidity and non-FW Ga-species were found to play important role in the aromatization process, producing a combined effect.
