Abstract

PtSnSr/HZSM-5 catalysts with different amounts of strontium were prepared by sequential impregnation method, and characterized by BET analysis, TEM, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, TPO and TG techniques. The results showed that the addition of strontium could modify the characteristics and properties of both acid function and metal function of Pt-Sn-based catalysts. In this case, PtSnSr/HZSM-5 catalyst with an appropriate amount of Sr (1.2%) showed higher catalytic activity and lower amount of coke deposits than PtSn/HZSM-5 catalyst. However, excessive loading of Sr could facilitate the reduction of Sn, which was unfavorable to the reaction. Afterwards, 1.0 m% of Na was added into the PtSnSr(1.2%)/HZSM-5 catalyst to improve the catalytic performance in propane dehydrogenation, and this catalyst displayed the best catalytic performance during our experiments. After having been subjected to reaction for 5 h, the PtSnNa(1.0%)Sr(1.2%)/HZSM-5 catalyst had achieved a higher than 95% selectivity towards propene along with a corresponding propane conversion rate of 32.2%.
