Abstract

The olefin hydration reaction was an acid-catalyzed reaction. In this paper, the influences of acid treatments on the structure and Contact angle of HZSM-5 zeolite were investigated. The structure of the samples was characterized using XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption–desorption, XPS, TG, Contact angle etc. The results showed that HCl acid treatment could remove Al from the structure, decrease relative crystallinity, and significantly increase specific surface area of the zeolite samples. On the other hand, Acid treatment could reduce the silanol groups on the catalyst surface, which could led the increase zeolite of Contact angle and hydrophobicity. As a result, the HCl-HZSM-5-4 catalyst produced high catalytic activity (7.69% conversion) at 130 °C after 4 h in cyclohexene hydration reaction.
