Promotion effects of Pt and Rh on catalytic performances of Mo/HZSM-5 and Mo/HMCM-22 in selective methane-to-benzene reaction
The promotion effects of Pt and Rh on catalytic performances of Mo/HZSM-5 and Mo/HMCM-22 in selective methane-to-benzene reaction were studied in the presence of additive H-2. The selectivity to naphthalene was effectively suppressed and highly selective and stable benzene formation was obtained by the addition of noble metal to the Mo/HZSM-5 and Mo/HMCM-22 catalysts, due to the suppression of carbon deposition on the Bronsted acid sites of zeolite.
