Effect of potassium on catalytic characteristics of ZSM-5 zeolite in fast pyrolysis of biomass-based furan
2021
Abstract The effect of potassium in biomass on the catalytic activity of ZSM-5 zeolite in the fast pyrolysis of biomass was investigated using 2-methylfuran (2-MF) as the typical model compound. The mechanism of action of potassium was explored in detail, along with the physicochemical properties of ZSM-5, including crystallinity, pore structure, and surface acidity. The physicochemical properties of ZSM-5 deteriorated to varying degrees after being tainted with different potassium sources (KOH, K2CO3, KAc, and KCl). Compared with neutral KCl and strong alkali KOH, K2CO3, and KAc, with weaker alkalinity but larger crystal structure, exerted a larger influence on ZSM-5. Changes in ZSM-5 tainted with K2CO3 were the greatest, and crystallinity, surface area, acidity, and the corresponding yields of valuable aromatic hydrocarbons and gas products, all declined significantly, compared with raw ZSM-5. When the amount of K(CO32−) on ZSM-5 was less than 0.5 wt%, only minor (
