Different dealumination methods of zeolite Beta were investigated to improve the efficiency of isobutyl alcohol conversion to jet fuels, and the influence of the zeolite catalyst factors was studied using various experimental techniques. The results showed that dealuminated zeolite Beta exhibited higher conversion and selectivity in the oligomerization reaction of isobutyl alcohol.
Various dealuminum methods of zeolite Beta to generate the jet fuels by converting isobutyl alcohol has been investigated in detail. And related factors of the zeolite catalyst such as acid site, pore structure, and pore size which can influence reactive activity, were also studied utilizing XRD, SEM, XRF, Nitrogen adsorptiondesorption, NH3-TPD, Py-FTIR, and 27Al solid-state NMR. Removal of extra-framework aluminum or part of framework aluminum by hydrochloric acid dealumination, is able to improve the diffusion property of the products in the channel of zeolite Beta via increasing the ratio of Lewis/Br?nsted. Consequently, isobutyl alcohol can be quantitatively oligomerized over dealuminated zeolite Beta with the selectivity of C8_16 exceeding 50 % at a conversion of 98 %. Moreover, the deactivated catalyst can be easily regenerated by calcining it in flowing air. High conversion, high jet fuels selectivity, and facile regeneration make it an attractive potential catalyst for isobutyl alcohol oligomerization reaction.
