ITQ-2 zeolites were prepared by sequential alkali-swelling and ultrasonic-delamination of precursor MCM-22 and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction
scanning electron microscopy
nitrogen adsorption-desorption
ammonia temperature-programmed desorption and in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The delamination induced a change in the morphology of ITQ-2 zeolites from aggregated thin platelets to scattered platelets
together with a significant increase in external specific surface area
which reached a plateau at the ultrasonic treatment time of 3 h. The catalytic cracking of n-dodecane over ITQ-2 zeolites was evaluated with ITQ-2 coated on the inside wall of a tubular reactor at 550℃ and 4 MPa. The sample obtained by ultrasonic treatment of 3 h (ITQ-2-3) gave the highest initial conversion of n-dodecane
whereas those of 5 h and 1 h gave the conversion even lower than MCM-22
which was in agreement with the trend of the ratio of strong Lewis acid to the total acid amount. Although the amount of cokes deposited on ITQ-2-3 was larger than that on MCM-22
the former deactivated slowly
suggesting that a large external specific surface area benefits the stability of zeolite coatings.
