Light olefins (C₂H₄, C₃H₆ and C₄H₈) are important chemical building blocks in modern energy and material system. In this study, the effects of different metal-modified ZSM-5 catalysts on the production of light olefins from cellulose fast pyrolysis were investigated in a fixed bed. Fe, La, Cu, Mg, Al and Ce modified ZSM-5 were prepared by the impregnation method, and then the derived modified ZSM-5 catalysts were characterized by different analytical instruments. The correlation between catalyst characteristics and the production of light olefins was explored. The results showed that the specific MFI-type structure of ZSM-5 remained intact after modification, and the surface area, pore volume and the amount of acid sites of catalysts varied. The highest light olefins yield was obtained over Cu-ZSM-5 (7.64 C-mol%), while the lowest was achieved over Mg-ZSM-5 (3.75 C-mol%). Moreover, the formation of light olefins can be promoted with the increasing of ZSM-5 other-pore volume and surface area, medium and strong acidity, and the decreasing of micro-pore volume and surface area, weak acidity. The results may share some light on the design of high efficiency ZSM-5 catalyst for high light olefins production.
