Effects of different preparation methods on structures and catalytic performances of AlOOH for methanol dehydration
four different AlOOH catalysts prepared by complete liquid-phase technology
hydrothermal and precipitation method are investigated and the industrial AlOOH(SB)is used as a control. These catalysts are characterized by XRD
NH3-TPD-MS
FT-IR
N2 adsorption-desorption and TG-DTG
and evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor for methanol dehydration. The results show that significant differences exist in these catalysts of methanol dehydration. The AlOOH catalyst prepared by compete liquid-phase technology followed by calcination for removing deposited carbon on the surface displays the highest activity and good stability
especially the performance in low temperature. On the contrary
the AlOOH catalyst prepared by precipitation method shows the worst activity and bad stability. Combined characterization results with catalytic performance
it can be found that the AlOOH catalyst has weak and strong acid sites
while γ-Al2O3 only has weak acid sites. When the content of weak acid sites is higher than its strong acid sites
the AlOOH catalyst shows better ability of methanol dehydration. On the other hand
more lattice defects and proper grain size of catalysts are beneficial to the improvement of the ability of methanol dehydration.
