Abstract:
Alkali metal promoted Zn/SSZ-13 catalysts were investigated for ethane dehydrogenation (EDH) and CO2-assisted oxidative ethane dehydrogenation (CO2-EDH). The Zn/Na/K/SSZ-13 demonstrated enhanced ethane dehydrogenation performance, achieving 0.381 mol C2H4 gZn-1 h-1 with a low deactivation rate constant of (kd) of 0.04 h-1 in the CO2-EDH process after 440 min time on stream, compared to the unmodified Zn/SSZ-13 catalyst. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that the isolated Zn2+ species serve as the active sites for dehydrogenation, while the addition of alkali metals compensate the acid sites of SSZ-13, effectively suppressing the side reactions such as cracking. Moreover, the introduction of CO2 mitigates Zn loss and enhances catalyst activity and stability by coupling with the reverse water gas shift reaction (RWGS), which also suppress the coke deposition. Investigation of vary CO2 content indicated that higher CO2 concentrations significantly suppress Zn loss and increase the proportion of the RWGS reaction, thereby improving CO2-EDH catalytic performance. This work elucidates the active phase of ethane dehydrogenation and highlights the role of alkali metals and CO2 in the CO2-EDH process over Zn/Na/K/SSZ-13, providing valuable insights for designing high-performance CO2-EDH catalysts. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
