摘要:

多级孔ZSM-5分子筛具有丰富的孔道结构,其独特的微-介复合孔道结构可显著促进油酸甲酯(OAME) 等大分子反应的发生,但其在分子层面上的促进机制及构-效关系仍不明晰。本工作采用Monte Carlo模拟(MC) 结合分子动力学(MD)方法,研究了OAME催化裂解反应中反应物和5种产物分子 (丙烯、丁烯、苯、甲苯和二甲苯) 在多级孔分子筛上的吸附和扩散行为。通过分析吸附等温线、吸附密度图和反应物种的扩散系数,发现升温不利于OAME的吸附,从而抑制了反应的发生,这与实验结果一致。同时,直孔道和多级孔道这两种吸附位点在催化裂解反应中起到的作用截然不同:直孔道提供芳构化反应活性中心,而多级孔道则主要促进BTX主产物分子的传质扩散。这种多孔道的协同催化作用使得多级孔分子筛相较于微孔分子筛展现出优异的催化性能。此外,发现多级孔ZSM-5分子筛能提高芳烃收率的主要原因是其能够加速BTX向介孔的快速扩散。以上模拟结果不仅有助于从微观角度优化脂肪酸酯催化裂解反应的实验条件,同时也丰富了对多级孔分子筛能多产芳烃微观机制的理解。

Abstract:

The hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite has abundant pore structure, and its unique micro-mesopic pore structure can significantly promote the occurrence of macromolecular reactions such as methyl oleate (OAME), while the promotion mechanism and structure-activity relationship at the molecular level are still unclear. In this work, we studied the adsorption and diffusion behavior of the reactants and five product molecules (C3H6, C4H8 and BTX) in the catalytic cracking reaction of OAME via Monte Carlo simulation (MC) combined with molecular dynamics (MD). By analysing the adsorption isotherms, adsorption density maps and diffusion coefficients of the reacting species, we found that rising temperature was detrimental to the adsorption of OAME, thus inhibiting the reaction, which is consistent with the experimental results. At the same time, the two adsorption sites in the zeolite play significantly different roles. The straight channel provides the aromatization active center in the catalytic creaking reaction, while the role of the hierarchical channel is reflected in promoting the mass transfer and diffusion of the main product molecules of BTX. Such synergistic catalysis effect of hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite channel increases the BTX yield compared to microporous. In addition, we found that the main reason that the hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite could improve the yield of aromatics is that it could accelerate the rapid diffusion of BTX to mesopores. The above simulation results not only help to determine the experimental conditions of the fatty acid ester catalytic cracking reaction from the microscopic point of view, but also could enrich our understanding of the microcosmic mechanism of hierarchical zeolites for prolific aromatics.
