Oligomerization and isomerization of dicyclopentadiene over mesoporous materials produced from zeolite beta
Mesoporous materials synthesized from commercial zeolite beta were applied to a dicyclopentadiene oligomerization/dicyclopentadiene oligomer isomerization reaction. A highly ordered mesoporous aluminosolicate, mmz-up was synthesized using commercially available zeolite beta as its framework source. It was confirmed that mmz-up has smaller surface area and pore volume than zeolite beta but mesopores were well developed. Though the amount and the strength of acid sites over mmz-up decreased compared with zeolite beta, the mmz-up catalyst shows high reaction activity and selectivity in a dicyclopentadiene oligomerization/dicyclopentadiene oligomer isomerization reaction, which can be attributed to the large pore size of MMZ-Hp which is favorable for the diffusion of reactant, intermediate, and product. 2014 Elsevier B.V.
