The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a Y type
molecular sieve, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of catalysts. The method comprises the following steps of: mixing
sodium metaaluminate and a
silicon source in a reaction kettle, and performing rotary
ageing to obtain a directing agent; adding the
sodium metaaluminate and the directing agent into the
silicon source in sequence, stirring, adding acidic aluminum salt, and continuously stirring to obtain
silicon-aluminum gel; and crystallizing the silicon-aluminum gel in two steps, centrifuging, and
drying to obtain the NaY type
molecular sieve. The silicon-aluminum ratio of the synthesized NaY type
molecular sieve is more than 5.0, and the average particle size of the
sieve is not more than 100nm. The NaY type molecular
sieve synthesized by the method is high in specific surface area, has higher performance in the aspects of converting macromolecules, reducing the secondary
cracking of a product and the coking of a catalyst, and the like compared with the conventional Y type molecular
sieve, is high in
thermal stability and hydrothermal stability, is prepared from low-cost industrial raw materials, is environment-friendly, and has an industrial application prospect, and a framework of the sieve is high in silicon-aluminum ratio.
