Abstract
Propylene aromatization reaction was performed on various MFI type zeolites containing Ga species. The Ga was introduced into the zeolites by substitution (Ga-MFI), ion exchange (GIZ) and physical mixing (GPZ). A com-mercialized zeolite (PQZSM-5) was also used for comparison. The catalysts prepared were characterized by using XRF, XPS, surface area measurement, NH3-TPD, and H2-TPR. Through the Ga substitution, the acidity of the modified catalysts was decreased, and dehydrogenation and aromatization reactions occurred more easily. The lattice Ga did not react well with hydrogen contrary to the Ga located at the outside of the lattice. It was also found that Ga-MFI catalysts facilitate alkylation reactions.
