Sažetak
Acid catalysis is recognised as the most reliable industrial ì way to convert hydrocarbons into various products (methanol to olefins and aromatics, glycerol to olefins, methane dehydroaromatization, isomerization, etc.). In this concern, ZSM-5 is extensively used, also because of peculiar type of active sites of such zeolite. In this paper, a fine tuning of the acidity content and strength of ZSM-5 was investigated through a combination of post- synthesis treatments: desilication via alkaline solution and wet impregnation with Mg2+ions followed by calcination. Results show that the insertion of Mg2+has a large influence on the distribution and strength of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites of the hierarchical ZSM-5, as well as an improved crystallinity with respect to the desilicated-one. The hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite incorporating Mg-species was tested in Methanol- to-olefins reaction and the reduction of acid strength of catalyst increased the selectivity toward light olefins (mainly propylene) as well as it suppressed oligomerisation reactions delaying the coke formation.
