The promotional effect of Fe-Mo species introduced into HZSM-5 (Zeolyst Int., SiO2/Al2O3 approximate to 30) zeolite catalyst by the wetness impregnation method for the 1-hexene aromatization was investigated. The structure and catalytic performance for the aromatization of 1-hexene over xFeyMo-ZSM-5 catalysts in comparison with unmodified HZSM-5 catalysts were studied. The xFeyMo-ZSM-5 catalysts contain fixed loading (5 wt%) and variable Fe/Mo ratio. The catalysts were characterized by BET, ICP-AES, HRSEM-EDS, HRTEM, XRD, FTIR, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, and pyridine DRIFT spectroscopy. The characterization data confirmed the existence of Fe and Mo species in the zeolite matrix. With Fe and Mo species implementation to HZSM-5 zeolite, the amount of the acid sites decreased, but the selectivities to C9+ aromatics increased. The catalyst evaluation was performed at 350 degrees C for 6 h on-stream at atmospheric pressure using a fixed-bed quartz tube reactor. The selectivity to products of different carbon number was affected by the Fe/Mo ratio within the zeolite. It was found the product distribution of grouped fractions of C-1-C17+ from the liquid product. The results indicate that the optimum ratio of Fe/Mo is 1-1.5. The highest selectivity for gasoline and distillate ranges was obtained for the 2.5wt% Fe2.5wt% Mo- and 3wt% Fe2wt% Mo-ZSM-5 samples, which was higher than that for parent HZSM-5 catalyst.
