Zeólitas sintetizadas com estruturas hierárquicas aplicadas a pirólise de resíduos da indústria de petróleo

Abstract

The petroleum industry generates different residues and zeolites are of great importance in the treatment and processing of residues of the petroleum refining and petrochemical industry for having peculiar properties. In this context, this paper reports the zeolites study ZSM-5 with hierarchically structures of pores, synthesized using as silanizante agent phenylaminopropyl trimethoxysilane (PHAPTMS) at concentrations of 15mol%, 17mol% and 20mol%, aiming at implementing the best material in thermo catalytic pyrolysis of the waste generated of the petroleum industry. The synthesis of ZSM-5 were also conducted without organic template, assisted by the seed induction method in the form of powder, subjected to 180 °C for 27 h, the crystallization interrupt periods at 8, 12 and 16 h for addition of PHAPTMS. The materials were synthesized and characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TG / DTG), surface acidity measured by n-butylamine desorption thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption. The kinetic study by thermogravimetry of pure RAT and HDPE waste was performed with and without catalyst. Through model-free kinetic method using the integral curves TG, were estimated activation energy, conversion rates and time degradation of waste in function of temperature. It was noted that for the materials synthesized with 15mol% of PHAPTMS in periods of 8, 12 and 16h showed higher concentrations of the active sites, surface acidity, making promising in HDPE degradation. The kinetic study of HDPE by Vyazovkin method showed a lower activation energy for the HZ5 15mol% material in the 16 h period. Also a lowering of the activation energy was revealed when used this material in the kinetic study for the RAT. In the thermal pyrolysis and thermalcatalytic of waste carried out at temperatures of 500 °C, 475 °C, 450 °C. It was chosen for use in thermalcatalytic pyrolysis, the material (HZ5 15mol% 16h) due to better acidity and lower energy required for the degradation of HDPE. In thermalcatalytic pyrolysis of HDPE selectivity afforded products with added values, which can be used in the petrochemical industry. In thermalcatalytic pyrolysis RAT This material potentiated C1-C4 hydrocarbon groups; C5-C12, C13-C19 regarding the LPG, gasoline and diesel. Providing better loads in the process and reducing the waste generated during petroleum refining.
