Abstract

A number of heterogeneous acid type catalysts of silica-alumina nature, which are proposed to be used for petrochemistry by-product oligomerization, have been investigated. Particularly, such key indicators as active site concentration and strength have been determined. These parameters have been determined by the method based on potentiometric titration that is relatively seldom used in heterogeneous catalysis. The number of active site types present in investigated catalysts, as well as concentrations of each type of site, has been determined by mathematical processing of potentiometric titration data. The sequence of mathematical processing of titration data is described. The relationship between the properties of the investigated catalysts and their effectiveness in heterogeneous catalytic cooligomerization of the C9 fraction of liquid products of diesel fuel pyrolysis has been analyzed. The relationships between yields achieved in the presence of various catalysts and the properties of these catalysts have been defined. Namely, it was determined that the product yield is almost proportional to the active site’s concentration of the catalysts (activated clay materials). The relationship between the strength of active sites and average molecular weight of the cooligomers has been found. The causes of obtained regularities have been analyzed and explained.
