摘要

For the methanol-to-propylene process, a lumped kinetic model was developed on the basis of dual-cycle reaction mechanism, which attempted to reflect the main reaction paths with a combination to show the evolution of mole fraction of individual light olefins (C-2(=), C-3(=) and C-4(=)) with space time. The experiments were performed in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor at 0.1 MPa as well as varied reaction temperature from 400 to 480 degrees C and space time from 0.3 to 32.0 g(catalyst) h mol(-1), and the experimental data obtained on the structured SS-fiber@HZSM-5 and powdered HZSM-5 catalysts were fitted by MATLAB software based on the established model. The fitted results show that the lumped kinetic model well describes the product distribution and is identified to be suitable by model identification. Compared to the powdered HZSM-5, the SS-fiber@HZSM-5 shows higher diffusion efficiency and narrower residence time distribution, not only promoting the propylene formation but also improving the utilization efficiency of the structured HZSM-5.
