The obtained plastic mixture was formed to strands (0 2.5 mm) using a strand press (pressure -150 bar). The strands were dried (16 h, 120°C) and calcined (4 h, 500°C), thus obtaining extrudates having a cutting hardness of 10.2 N.
- the BET surface area of the extrudates was determined to 309 m 2 /g, and the pore volume as obtained by Hg-Porosimetry to 0.84 cm 3 /g, the respective total pore area 102.9 m 2 /g.
- Example 8 Impregnation of ZSM-5 zeolite from Reference Example 2 with magnesium and shaping thereof
- ZSM-5 powder from Reference Example 2 was spray impregnated with a magnesium nitrate solution.
- the amount of magnesium nitrate was chosen in a way as to obtain a zeolite with 4 wt% of Mg after calcination.
- zeolite powder (120 g) obtained from Reference Example 2 was placed into a round-bottomed flask that was connected to a rotary evaporator.
- Magnesium nitrate (53.8 g) was solubilized in water to yield 82 ml. of a solution.
- 73 ml. of the solution were slowly sprayed on the rotating zeolite using a spray nozzle (100 l/h N2 stream).
- the Mg-impregnated zeolite was then shaped to extrudates exhibiting a zeolite-to-binder ratio of 60/40 in their calcined form.
- the impregnated ZSM-5 powder 100 g was mixed with Pural SB (86.5 g), formic acid (2.6 g in 20 ml. water) and Walocel (5 g).
- the mixture was homogenized in a kneading machine by the addition of water (85 g).
- the obtained plastic mixture was formed to strands (0 2.5 mm) using a strand press (pressure -130 bar).
- the strands were dried (16 h, 120°C) and calcined (4 h, 500°C), thus obtaining extrudates having a cutting hardness of 1 1 .0 N. Elemental analysis:
- the BET surface area of the extrudates was determined to 310 m 2 /g, and the pore volume as obtained by Hg-Porosimetry to 0.67 cm 3 /g.
- Example 9 Impregnation of water-treated ZSM-5 zeolite from Reference Example 4 with magnesium and shaping thereof
- ZSM-5 powder from Reference Example 4 was spray impregnated with a magnesium nitrate solution.
- the amount of magnesium nitrate was chosen in a way as to obtain a zeolite with 4 wt% of Mg after calcination.
- the zeolite powder 100 g was placed into a round- bottomed flask that was connected to a rotary evaporator.
- Magnesium nitrate (44.8 g) was solubilized in water. 61 .2 mL of the solution were slowly sprayed on the rotating zeolite using a spray nozzle (1 OOI/h N 2 stream). This corresponds to 90% of the maximum water uptake capacity of the zeolite.
- the complete solution was sprayed on the zeolite, the latter was allowed to rotate for 10 min.
- the treated powder was dried (16 h, 120°C), calcined (4 h, 500°C), milled and sieved (1 mm size).
- the obtained powder has an Mg content of 3.9 wt%.
- Mg-ZSM-5 powder (98.9 g) was mixed with Pural SB (90.3 g), formic acid (2.7 g in 20 mL water) and Walocel (5 g).
- the masses of the raw materials were chosen in a way as to yield a zeolite- to-binder ratio of 60:40 in the resulting calcined shaped bodies.
- the mixture was homogenized in a kneading machine by the addition of water (90 g).
- the obtained plastic mixture was formed to strands (0 2.5 mm) using a strand press (pressure -100 bar).
- the strands were dried (16 h, 120°C) and calcined (4 h, 500°C). They were split to 1 .6-2.0 mm fractions using a sieving machine equipped with two steel balls (0 2 cm, 258 g/ball) prior to application in the conversion of methanol to olefins.
- the obtained extrudates had a Si content of 23.7 wt.%, an Al content of 20.7 wt.%, an Mg content of 2.3 wt% and a multipoint BET specific area determined via nitrogen adsorption at 77 K according to DIN 66133 of 307 m 2 /g.
- the crush strength of the moldings as determined according to the method using a crush strength test machine Z2.5/TS1 S as described in Reference Example 4 was 8.7 N.
- the total intrusion volume determined according to Hg porosimetry according to DIN 66133 was 0.88 mL/g (milliliter/gram), the respective total pore area 124.7 m 2 /g.
- Temperature programmed desorption of ammonia afforded values of 0.41 mmol/g when conducted at 161 °C and of 0.25 mmol/g when conducted at 355 °C.
- the size of the primary particles of the commercial ZSM-5 zeolite as determined by SEM were shown to lie in the range of from 200-500 nm.
- the BET surface area of the extrudates was determined to 310 m 2 /g, and the pore volume as obtained by Hg-Porosimetry to 0.36 cm 3 /g.
- Example 7 For further comparison, the procedure of Example 7 was repeated using the commercial ZSM-5 zeolite employed in Comparative Example 10, thus obtaining extrudates having a cutting hardness of 10.5 N.
- the BET surface area of the extrudates was determined to 293 m 2 /g, and the pore volume as obtained by Hg-Porosimetry to 0.44 cm 3 /g.
- Methanol was evaporated, mixed with nitrogen to afford a gas stream containing 75 vol.-% methanol and 25 vol.-% nitrogen. Methanol in the gas stream was then converted to dimethylether in a heated pre-reactor (275 °C) charged with alumina split (34 ml_). The resulting stream was then converted in a continuously operated, electrically heated tubular reactor that was charged with the respective zeolite catalyst (2 g, diluted with 23 g of SiC) to be tested. The MTO reaction was conducted at a temperature of 450-500 °C at a pressure (absolute) of 1 -2 bar and at a weight hourly space velocity of 6 r 1 based on the volume of methanol in the initial gas stream.
