Alkylating activity of an Omnikat-210P zeolite catalyst modified with Ni, Cr, and Co

Abstract

An Omnikat-210P zeolite catalyst modified with Ni, Cr, and Co in a total amount of 4.53 wt % has been synthesized. X-ray diffraction analysis of the catalyst has been conducted; the oxide content of the original and modified catalyst has been determined. The dependence of the liquid yield on reaction temperature, contact time, and feed space velocity has been revealed. It has been found that the reaction products comprise 49.1 wt % isoparaffins and 41.3 wt % aromatics with no olefin hydrocarbons. The boiling range of the liquid products is 27.9–253.7°C. The octane number of the liquid products is on the order of RON 90.7.
