AI Technical Summary
Existing catalysts containing ZSM-5 zeolite face challenges in achieving high conversion rates and stability for converting ethylene to propylene, particularly due to issues with mechanical strength and handling during preparation and storage.
A steam treatment method is applied to a catalyst bed of ZSM-5 zeolite and silicon oxide binder within a catalytic hydrocarbon conversion reactor, at temperatures ranging from 150°C to 700°C and pressures up to 3×10^6 Pa, eliminating the need for calcination and enhancing catalyst performance.
The method improves conversion rates and stability of ethylene to propylene, with increased mechanical strength and reduced preparation time, while maintaining catalyst integrity and performance.
