The formation of coke resulting from propene transformation at 623 K on a faujasite zeolite occurs according to a product shape selectivity mechanism and yields to the formation of highly alkylated polyaromatic molecules such as naphthalene, pyrene, and coronene. Their main parts are trapped in the inner cavities (supercages), poison Bronsted acid sites, and plug micropores. With a common thermal regeneration process, coke burns at 800 K, whereas this study shows that a complete regeneration of zeolite (i.e., total recovery of the native acidity and microporosity) can be achieved at 293 K by using a nonthermal plasma with a low energy consumption in a fixed-bed dielectric barrier reactor: a geometry suitable for industrial scaling. The kinetic rates of coke oxidation and the recovery of acidity and microporosity are similar. The active species (e.g., O*, O2+) are able to diffuse within the zeolite micropores and oxidize the light molecules, 36 times faster than the heavier ones. Thanks to a complete chara...
