In particular, the equilibrium conversion of isobutylene under various reactionconditions close to those used in industry was calculated and discussed. Isobutylene amination is atemperature sensitive reaction due to its exothermic nature and isobutylene equilibrium conversiondecreases with temperature. However, kinetically, the amination reaction will be faster at ahigher temperature. Thus, there must be an optimum temperature for the reaction. A high pressureand n(NH3)/n(i‐C4H8) molar ratio promote the transformation of isobutylene to tert‐butylamine.Developing a highly efficient catalyst under mild reaction conditions is preferred for the aminationprocess. The reaction was investigated over a series of acidic zeolites. ZSM‐11 zeolite exhibited thebest performance with 14.2% isobutylene conversion (52.2% of the equilibrium conversion) and >99.0% tert‐butylamine selectivity. The effect of reaction conditions on the performance of the ZSM‐11 catalyst agreed with the thermodynamic results, which provides guidance for further catalyst development and reaction condition optimization.展开更多

It was discovered that the pore structure and the acidities of zeolite catalysts played crucial roles in the isobutylene amination process, and suitable pore diameter（larger than 0.5 nm or with large side pockets/cups in the outside surface） and a certain number of mid-strong acid sites are indispensable to catalyze the amination reaction,while too strong acid strength was not conducive to the process of isobutylene amination. Among them,zeolites with topologies of BEA, MFI, MEL, MWW and EUO exhibited good amination performance, with which the isobutylene conversion was higher than 12.61%（>46.42% of the equilibrium conversion） under the studied mild reaction conditions. Due to the good amination performance and the large adjustable Si/Al;ratio range, ZSM-5 was selected to further study the effect of acidity on the amination performance systematically under the mild reaction conditions, and the activity-acidity relationship in the amination process was disclosed: the amination activity（isobutylene conversion） had a linear correlation with the amount of mid-strong B acidity under the studied conditions over ZSM-5 catalyst, which can provide guidance for further developing high-efficient amination catalyst under mild reaction conditions available for future industrial use.展开更多
