Abstract: A series of P, Ni modified mordenite zeolite catalysts were prepared via impregnation, and systematically characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, NH3-TPD, 27Al NMR, 31P NMR, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques. The results demonstrated that P efficiently weakened the acid strength through the coordination with the framework aluminum of zeolites, and simultaneously formed abundant L acid center through dealumination. Meanwhile, the introduction of Ni interacted with framework aluminum to form twisted tetra coordinated aluminum structure, but does not affect significantly the acid properties of zeolites. In the hydrocracking process of tetralin over those modified zeolites, Ni promoter greatly improved the hydrocracking activity of tetralin through H spillover between metal and acid site, while P modified zeolites exhibited better anti-coking ability and catalyst stability. The catalyst modified by the combination of phosphorus and nickel has appropriate hydrogenation function and optimized acid distribution, which improves the conversion rate of tetralin and the selectivity of single cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and also improves the operational stability of the catalyst.
