Abstract

The performance of the ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts modified by Au only, Mn only and both Au and Mn for catalytic cracking of light diesel were evaluated in this study. The gold-manganese modified catalyst showed better catalytic activity than the manganese-only or gold-only modified catalysts, as indicated by the improved propylene selectivity and micro-reaction activity index. It was found that small and uniform manganese nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 20 nm were homogeneously dispersed on ZSM-5 while uneven larger Au (> 100 nm) particles were deposited separately on the ZSM-5 surface. Significantly higher values of surface acidity were obtained for the Au–Mn/ZSM-5 catalysts compared to those for the Mn/ZSM-5 catalysts and ZSM-5 itself. With increasing manganese content, the acid strength and total acid content first increased and then decreased. The AuMn-modified ZSM-5 catalysts largely retain the crystal structure of ZSM-5 after a hydrothermal treatment, showing that the hydrothermal stability of the catalysts was enhanced and the loss of their surface acidity was reinforced by the double AuMn modification. Among all of the catalysts, 1%Au-3%Mn/ZSM-5 shows the best performance, since it maintains the intact structure and even narrower pore size distribution of the parent ZSM-5 zeolite as well as moderate acidity.
