摘　　要：The growing consumption of light olefins has stimulated intensive researches on methanol to olefin(MTO)process which possesses great advantages for coal conversion to value‐added chemicals in an environmentally benign way.The catalysts commonly used for MTO process faces several challenges such as poor selectivity control,low hydrothermal stability and short lifetime.In the present study,we prepared a series of mordenite zeolites with variable Al contents(Si/Al molar ratios of 51−436)by a sequential dealumination treatment of air‐calcination and acid leaching.The textural properties,acidity and Al location before and after the dealumination treatment have been systematically studied and their effect on MTO especially the methanol to propylene(MTP)performance was thoroughly investigated.The mordenite zeolites with the Si/Al ratios over 150 selectively catalyzed methanol conversion in the MTP pathway,providing a high propylene selectivity of 63%and propylene/ethylene ratio of>10.Compared to the low‐silica MOR catalysts,highly dealuminated MOR showed much higher stability and longer lifetime,which can be further enhanced via harsh hydrothermal pretreatment.Furthermore,the lifetime was highly related to the crystal size along c‐axis.The excellent performance of highly dealuminated MOR is likely ascribed to the mesopores formed upon dealumination and the scarce Al sites located in the T sites shared by the 8‐member ring(MR)side pockets and 12‐MR pore channels.甲醇制烯烃/丙烯工艺(MTO/MTP)是当前煤基碳资源绿色催化转化的重要过程之一.在MTO/MTP工艺中,分子筛通常面临低碳烯烃选择性低、水热稳定性差和寿命短等挑战.开发高选择性和高稳定性的分子筛催化剂对煤基乙烯/丙烯等化学品的工业生产具有重要意义.本文选择了具有12元环孔道的低硅丝光分子筛(Si/Al=6)为母体,对其进行脱铝处理制备了一系列不同Al含量的高硅丝光(Si/Al=51−436)催化剂.通过N_(2-)吸附、NH_(3)程序升温脱附、羟基红外光谱、CD3CN-IR和Py-IR等技术对脱铝前后分子筛的孔道结构、酸密度、酸强度和铝的落位进行了深入研究,并将其与MTP反应性能进行关联.结果表明,骨架Al的脱除在晶体中引入了介孔.随着Si/Al的提高,分子筛的酸量和酸强度同时降低.深度脱铝后的丝光分子筛中只存在少量位于8元环侧口袋与12元环交叉口处的T2和T4位Al原子.Si/Al高于150的脱铝丝光分子筛在MTP反应中丙烯选择性高达63%,丙烯/乙烯的比值高达10.与低硅丝光分子筛相比,深度脱铝的丝光分子筛表现出更好的稳定性和更长的寿命.相同反应条件下,低硅丝光样品(Si/Al=6)反应2 h后完全失活(转化率低于10%),而高硅丝光样品(Si/Al=274)反应132 h后转化率仍然高于80%.丝光分子筛在脱铝处理后催化性能得到大幅提升的原因为:酸密度和酸强度的降低显著改变了双循环机理历程,反应中芳烃循环的比重下降,烯烃循环得到了增强,进而提高了丙烯选择性并抑制了积碳速率.此外,脱铝后保留下来的Al原子(活性中心)位于12元环孔道,其大孔结构与脱铝引入的介孔孔道为反应物、中间体及产物的扩散提供了充足的空间,进一步抑制了副反应的发生和积碳的生成.进一步研究丝光分子筛形貌对MTP反应的影响发现,丝光分子筛尺寸的变化不改变产物分布,但显著影响催化剂寿命,其原因在于丝光分子筛c-轴�
