Catalysts based on a BEA zeolite have been compared, characterised by different acidity imparted by dealumination treatments. Ni addition in variable loading helped suppressing undesired byproducts, difficult to separate from ethylene.

Abstract

Catalysts based on a BEA zeolite have been compared, characterised by different acidity imparted by dealumination treatments. Ni addition in variable loading helped suppressing undesired byproducts, difficult to separate from ethylene. For instance, no trace of diethyl ether nor acetaldehyde has been observed for the Ni-loaded samples under optimised working conditions.
