摘要
In petrochemical applications, improving the catalytic activity and stability of Zeolite as a cutting-edge material has gained research interest. Herein, a local South African clay as a source of high silica and alumina with an organic template of tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) was synthesized hydrothermally. The study then examined the effect of crystallization temperature (120-180 & DEG;C), crystallization time (24-96 h) and ageing time (0-48 h) on the crystallinity, surface morphology and functional group of the Kaolin-based ZSM-5 Zeolite formed. Characterization results by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-EmmettTeller (BET) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed the hydrothermal synthesis of the crystalline powder was successful. The XRD revealed the highest intensity at n-ary sumation 5 with the most intense peaks at 2 Ѳ& DEG; and a relative crystallinity from 74.6% to 76.66% at the temperature of 180 & DEG;C and 48 h of ageing and crystallization time of sampled powder. The crystals' growth and pore structure (openings of 5-5.5 & ANGS;) was affirmed by the SEM results. Likewise, the BET revealed the surface area (146.15 m2/g), pore volume (0.056 cm3/g) and pore size (59.12 & ANGS;). The FTIR spectra vibration within the wavenumber from 545 to 1224 cm-1 also confirmed the sharpness of the beta and pentasil index peaks. Moreso, the bioethanol conversion at the temperature of 180 & DEG;C over the synthesized ZSM-5 catalyst yielded 2.03% H2, 1.03% CH4, 37.07% C2H4, and 62.4% liquids. This study has demonstrated the synthesized Kaolin-based ZSM-5 Zeolite has the potential for industrial decomposition of ethanol with good catalyst stability.
