摘要: 以硝酸铝为铝源, 以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵为阳离子模板剂, 采用均匀沉淀法成功制得热稳定性较高和高度有序的介孔 Al2O3 (其比表面积 179.8 m2/g, 孔径 5.4 nm, 孔体积 0.3 cm3/g), 并用于甲醇脱水制二甲醚反应中. 结果表明, 在 280 oC, 液时空速为 30 h−1 条件下, 甲醇转化率为 90.2%, 二甲醚时空收率最高可达 15.4 g/(g•h). 通过制备方法的对比和催化剂的酸性表征, 进一步探讨了介孔 Al2O3 结构和酸性等对其催化活性的影响, 发现催化剂活性与其酸密度密切相关.

Abstract: Ordered mesoporous alumina was synthesized by the homogeneous precipitation method from aqueous Al(NO3)3·9H2O solution using cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as template. Characterization results showed that the surface area, average pore diameter, and pore volume of the calcined mesoporous alumina are 179.8 m2/g, 5.4 nm and 0.3 cm3/g, respectively. Over the mesoporous alumina, the space time yield of dimethyl ether (DME) in methanol dehydration reaches 15.4 g/(g·h) at 280 oC and 30 h1 with 90.2% methanol conversion. The activity of the mesoporous alumina samples for methanol dehydration to DME was compared. The detected activity for methanol dehydration strongly depends on the surface acid density of the alumina.
