Abstract
The promotional effect of Cr addition on the methane aromatization performance of the Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst was investigated. It was found that much higher methane conversion was obtained over Mo–Cr/HZSM-5 catalyst than over Mo/HZSM-5. The results indicate that when the Cr/Mo molar ratio is 0.07, the methane conversion and aromatics selectivity reach 11.6 and 97.3% respectively at a reaction temperature of 973 K. Raising the temperature is beneficial to the methane conversion and 15.82% conversion is obtained at 1023 K. Modern measurements such as isopropyl alcohol decomposition and temperature desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD) were used to characterized the catalysts. The results of isopropyl alcohol decomposition show that the surface acidity of Mo–Cr/HZSM-5 is increased at high temperature. The NH3-TPD findings imply that the Mo–Cr/HZSM-5 catalyst has much stronger acidity and more acid sites than Mo/HZSM-5, most likely one of the reasons for the enhanced activity for methane aromatization using Mo–Cr/HZSM-5 catalyst.
