Physicochemical and catalytic properties of iron-containing zeolites

The effect of the iron content on the zeolite physicochemical and catalytic properties in processes of conversion of methanol and directly distilled gasoline fraction of gas condensate was studied. It was shown that with an increasing iron concentration in the catalyst, its acidity changes, affecting, in turn, the catalytic properties. It has been established that the introduction of iron into the zeolite framework results in the rising yield of the liquid products and the increase in the catalyst service life. The optimum content of a modifying additive in the zeolite catalyst for the methanol conversion and directly distilled gasoline fraction of the gas condensate was determined.
