Abstract: | |||||
Dc(XJsition of coke on FCC catalyst received considerable attention in Catalysis field~little
'{Irk has been reported on non-oxidative regeneration especially hyd~ogen at 300°C and
high pressure of 20 bar for 8hrs over coked catalysts followed by extraction. The deficient
h)'drogen type cracked catalyst was treated for 8hrs at different temperatures of25, 110 and
300'C. Coked zeolite was left under hydrogen pressure overnight to increase the adsorption
time of hydrogen on zeolite surface and pores. Cyclic regenerations were applied on
heavily coked catalysts to enhance the. volatility of coke precursors at longer time.
Dcconvoluted peaks of TGA-DTG were showing several volatile peaks at certain
dissociation temperatures indicating the type of coke. There was correlation between peaks
of adsorbed materials of coke precursors in TGA and TPD. Hydrogen adsorbed above
400'e in TPD spectra i.mplies that high temperature hydrogen diffused through catalyst
matrix nnd caused significant reduction and morphological changes of coke species. FTIR
ptnks showed the intensity of the coke profiles appeared in coked and diminished in
regenerated ones. The acidic and metallic sites of the deactivated catalyst were restored
lIccording to their functional groups in FTIR spectra. Continuous regeneration of coked
5nmples wns showing gradual loss of coke percentage weight. Toluene and more polar
wh-cnt like pyridine leached the hydrocarbon cOffiFOunds adsorbed on the surface of the
. zeOlite before or after hydrocracking. The resulted extract was sent for GC-Ms to identify
the kind of hydrocarbons products restored. The activity of FCC catalyst was restored by
more than 60% due to the removal of polycyclic type of coke depending on the feed type.
The regenerated catalyst can be used in catalytic reactions with high activity and selectivity
for light products.
