Abstract:

The effects of Si-additive modification on nonoxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) over γ-Al₂O₃sheet-supported isolate Co²⁺catalysts have been investigated. Si addition introduces a number of moderate-strength acid sites by the formation of composite SiAl oxides. Promoted catalytic stability is achieved on Si-modified Si-Co-Al₂O₃in comparison with the Si-free Co-Al₂O₃catalyst. A relatively lower graphitization degree and a higher ratio of highly reactive coke species are observed on the Si-Co-Al₂O₃catalyst. The co-feeding of C₃H₆significantly changes the coking reaction rates but not the coke distributions on Co-based catalysts. The interaction of C₃H₆with Co catalysts can be affected by Si modification tuning the coking property and the catalytic stability of Co²⁺-Al₂O₃-based catalysts for the PDH reactions.
