Abstract

A strategy has been developed for the synthesis of ferrierite (FER) zeolites possessing strong acid sites (SAS) with different strength by using silica sol modified by different amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) as silicon source. The effect of HCl-modified silica sol on FER zeolite was investigated by XRD, ICP-AES, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, NH3-TPD and Py-IR. Moreover, some typical samples were evaluated in the reaction of 1-butene skeletal isomerization and the coke properties of the deactivated samples were analyzed by TG-MS and Raman spectroscopy. The results revealed that FER zeolite possessing weak SAS has excellent catalytic performance in the reaction of skeletal isomerization of 1-butene. Whereas FER zeolite with moderate SAS exhibits poor stability. By contrast, FER zeolite exhibiting SAS with high strength is easy to promote oligomerization-cracking reaction and reduce isobutene selectivity. Conversely, these findings also confirmed the effectiveness of the strategy for controlling the strength of SAS of FER zeolite.
