Abstract

ZSM-5/SBA-15 composite Materials with different acidities and mesoporous system formations were successfully synthesized by three-step method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, BET, EDX and TPD-NH3 methods. It showed that the Si/Al molar ratio had effect on the formation and property of Materials. Among synthesized catalysts with the different Si/Al molar ratios of 30 (HZSC-30), 50 (HZSC-50), 70 (HZSC-70), HZSC-50 catalyst had better mesoporous system formation and acidity. These properties helped this catalyst to have higher catalytic activity in 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene cracking reaction than Other studied catalysts in term of higher benzene product yield. In comparison to HZSM-5 microporous material that had the similar Si/Al molar ratio of 50, it showed that the formation of mesopore system of HZSC-50 catalyst had a major improvement on the cracking catalytic activity.
