A1 Bilbao, Javier K1 Catálisis heterpgénea K1 Zeolitas K1 Hidrocarburos AB The impact of different process variables affecting the coking and rejuvenation ofHZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been studied during the conversion of dimethyl ether(DME) to olefins in a fixed bed reactor. Those variables involve the effect of (i) thematrix material with mesopores; (ii) temperature; (iii) space time; (iv) acidity of thecatalyst; (v) steam, inert or air in the reaction-regeneration medium. Used catalysts havebeen characterized through N2 adsorption-desorption and temperature-programmedoxidation and the presence of three coke fractions has been identified deposited withinthe zeolite micropores, the external surface of the crystals and the mesopores of thematrix. Low Si/Al ratios (140) and temperatures (350 ºC), and co-feeding water withDME, reduce the formation of coke within the zeolite micropores, favoring the stabilityof the catalyst. Reaction-regeneration cycles confirm that catalysts totally recover theactivity through combustion of coke during a heating ramp up to 550 ºC.
