Effect of cerium ions initial distribution on the crystalline structure and catalytic performance of CeY zeolite

Ce Y samples with different cerium(Ce) ions initial distribution were prepared by diverse preparation processes. The correlative influence of Ce ions distribution on the intracrystalline structure and catalytic mechanism of Y-type zeolite was studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Rietveld refinement, X...

Summary:Ce Y samples with different cerium(Ce) ions initial distribution were prepared by diverse preparation processes. The correlative influence of Ce ions distribution on the intracrystalline structure and catalytic mechanism of Y-type zeolite was studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Rietveld refinement, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(XRF), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), infrared(IR) spectra, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption(NH3-TPD), N2 physical adsorption-desorption and micro-activity test(MAT). The results indicated that Ce ions were concentrated on the surface(supercage) of Ce Y zeolite would reduce the number of acid sites and the ratio of Br?nsted acid and Lewis acid(B/L). Once Ce ions concentrated in the sodalite cage, it would participate in the coordination with framework oxygen atoms under the condition of steric hindrance. Meanwhile, Ce ions would preferentially promote the B/L value of weak acid by retaining more intracrystalline framework Al atoms in sodalite cage, which was beneficial to the conversion of heavy oil in FCC process. The optimal initial-distribution of Ce ions could not only save the consumption of rare earth resources but also give the best catalytic performance of Ce Y zeolite catalysts, and these advantages and attributes enabled it to have the potential to be applied in industrial applications.
