Popis: A set of ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite zeolite were synthesized hydrothermally with CTAB as a template and ZSM-5 zeolite as a silica source. XRD patterns of ZSM-5/MCM-41 zeolites contain the characteristic peaks both of ZSM-5 and MCM-41. TEM images show that ZSM-5 zeolite surface was covered with a MCM-41 thin layer varying the thickness with the crystallization time. The BET specific surface area of the composite zeolite increased with increasing the NaOH concentration up to a maximum at 1.5 M, followed by decreased as the NaOH concentration was increased. Catalytic tests were carried out in a tubular reactor coated with the zeolite on its inner wall at 550°C and 4 MPa. The ZSM-5/MCM-41 zeolite with a core-shell structure exhibited a higher conversion of supercritical n-dodecane cracking compared to ZSM-5.
