Abstract

Catalytic sites of mesoporous silica catalysts in degradation of polyethylene were studied using characterizations by adsorption of NH3 and isohexane cracking. Siliceous materials showed a high liquid yield close to that of non-catalytic run, and degradation rate was improved by incorporation of aluminum. Mesoporous silica containing impurity level of aluminum showed high activity, same with H-MFI and SiO2-A1203 with similar A1 content. The initial rate of degradation was dependent on the aluminum content and structure of mesoporous silica catalysts. FSM-16 exhibited exceptionally higher activity, which may be due to the presence of radical type catalytic sites on FSM-16. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 13th International Zeolite Conference (Montpellier, France 7/8-13/2001).
