Abstract

This work studied the synergistic effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) contents, ultrasound treatment and compatibility between the aluminosilicate precursors and CNT templates on the selective catalytic upgrading of biomass derived glycerol to aromatics (GTA) over hierarchical HZSM-5. The hydroxylation treatment of CNT templates led to a higher crystallinity of synthesized HZSM-5, whereas the ultrasonic aging decreased the crystal size of prepared HZSM-5. The appropriate increase of CNT-OH addition in HZSM-5 precursors caused a shift of GTA reaction pathway from liquid route to gas route. The fabricated hierarchical 15%CNT-OH/HZSM-5/Sono sample showed nearly 2 times higher in BTX yield (27.4 C%) and 2.5 times longer in catalyst lifetime (8.5 h) compared to the microporous HZSM-5 (14.1 C% of BTX aromatics yield and 3.5 h lifetime) due to the synergistic effect among the CNT-OH addition, ultrasound treatment and precursor affinity during the hierarchical HZSM-5 synthesis, which provided more active sites and inlets of pore mouths entrances to HZSM-5 interiors as well as accelerated diffusion and shortened diffusion path length for the GTA procedure. However, both microporous and hierarchical HZSM-5 exhibited irreversible catalyst deactivation caused by the irreversible dealumination of the HZSM-5 framework during the reaction-regeneration cycle.
