Strengthening catalytic synergy of two function-complementary ZSM-5 by optimizing their spatial organizations in fixed-bed reactor to boost methanol aromatization

The effect of proximity of two different SiO2/Al2O3 ratio ZSM-5 catalysts with complementary acidic properties on their catalytic synergy over methanol stepwise aromatization was specifically studied based on a series of different packing modes. The results showed that the powder mixing mode with high proximity excessively enhanced the synergy by intensifying mass transfer between two catalysts. Although it presented a high aro-matics selectivity of 57.2%, but the catalyst lifetime was only 10 h due to the intense reverse of poly-methylbenzene. The granule mixing mode with larger particle size only slightly improved the catalyst lifetime. Packing two ZSM-5 catalysts in separated dual beds mode could prolong the lifetime to 157 h but the aromatics selectivity was reduced to 21.0%, indicating that low proximity is not favored the catalytic synergy. Interest-ingly, the suitable proximity of designed alternative sequence beds mode not only intensified intermediates transport to some extent but also relieved the negative influence of aromatic reversion. The moderate synergy remarkably increased the aromatics selectivity to 28.9% with a satisfactory lifetime of 117 h. This work pre-liminarily elucidates the effect of proximity determined by the spatial organization of double ZSM-5 catalysts on their catalytic synergy for methanol aromatization.
