The present invention provides a preparation method and application of a modified
molecular sieve. The preparation method includes: Step S1, mixing a
silicate compound, a
quaternary ammonium template agent and water, and then successively performing a
hydrolysis reaction and
distillation to obtain a
sol mixture and a fraction with a boiling range of 60-100 °C; Step S2, successively performing a
crystallization reaction and liquid separation on the
sol mixture to obtain an
aqueous solution and an organic solution; Step S3, adjusting the pH value of the
aqueous solution to 7-10, and then successively performing a first
solid-liquid separation, a first
drying and a first
calcination to obtain a
molecular sieve precursor; Step S4, mixing the fraction with a boiling range of 60-100 °C, the organic solution and the
molecular sieve precursor, and then successively performing
etching, a second
solid-liquid separation, a second
drying and a second
calcination to obtain a modified molecular
sieve. When the modified molecular
sieve prepared by the present invention is used as a catalyst for synthesizing
caprolactam, it has
high selectivity and conversion rate, long
operating life, environmental friendliness and better catalytic performance.
