title: [Microwave In-situ Regeneration of Cu-Mn-Ce/ZSM Catalyst Adsorbed Toluene and Distribution of Bed Temperature].
abstract: Microwave in-situ regeneration of Cu-Mn-Ce/ZSM catalyst adsorbed toluene, distribution of fixed bed temperature, adsorption breakthrough curves of the catalyst after several regenerations and characterizations of the catalyst by BET and SEM were investigated in this study. The research indicated that regeneration effect of the catalyst adsorbed was excellent under conditions of microwave power 117 W, air flow 0.5 m3 x h(-1) and catalyst dosage of 800 g. Toluene desorbed was oxidized onto the surface of the catalyst, and the adsorption capacity of the catalyst was recovered simultaneously. Under microwave irradiation, bed temperature decreased slowly from inside to outside in horizontal level, and increased gradually from down to up in vertical level so that the highest temperature reached 250-350 degrees C at the upper sites of the bed. Sintering and agglomeration occurred on the surface of the catalyst in the course of regeneration so that the special surface area and micropore volume of the catalyst were reduced and breakthrough time was shortened, which was verified by six adsorption breakthrough curves and related characteristics of the catalyst. However, the structure of the catalyst was steady after two regenerations, and adsorption breakthrough time was kept at 70 min. The result showed that the changes of surface morphology and pore structure were positively correlated with the distribution of bed temperature.
