Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of zeolite catalysts, and more particularly relates to a method for preparing hierarchical pore zeolite. Background Art

[0002] Hierarchical pore molecular sieves (with both micropores and mesopores) have shown significant advantages in catalysis, adsorption, and separation due to their unique pore structure. For example, in petroleum catalytic cracking, micropores (0.3-1nm) provide shape-selective catalytic active sites, while mesopores (2-50nm) can accelerate the mass transfer of macromolecular reactants and reduce carbon deposition and deactivation. However, traditional molecular sieves (such as ZSM-5) only have a microporous structure, and a single microporous structure is difficult to meet the needs of macromolecular catalytic reactions. Therefore, the controllable synthesis of hierarchical pore structures has become a research hotspot in the field of zeolite catalysts.

[0003] Currently, the preparation methods for hierarchical zeolites mainly include hard templates, soft templates, and post-treatment methods, but all have limitations. The hard template method introduces hard templates such as carbon nanospheres and polymer microspheres to occupy the space. After the molecular sieve crystallizes, the templates are removed to form mesopores. However, hard templates generally require high-temperature calcination (>500°C) to remove, which is expensive and difficult to scale up industrially. The soft template method uses surfactants (such as CTAB, P123, or organosilane coupling agents) as mesoporous templates to form a mesoporous structure through self-assembly. However, soft templates are expensive, and the resulting mesopores are often worm-like, with poor connectivity, low mass transfer efficiency, and toxicity. The post-treatment method involves treating the molecular sieve with alkali or acid to remove silicon and aluminum to form mesopores. However, due to the random distribution of silicon and aluminum in the zeolite synthesis product, this method can lead to uneven mesopore distribution, with some areas over-dissolving to form large pores (>50 nm), destroying the microporous structure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a green and low-cost method for synthesizing hierarchical zeolites. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing hierarchical pore zeolite. The present invention adopts a "high silicon / pure silicon seed-selective etching" synergistic strategy. In the synthesis stage, >30% high silicon (silicon-aluminum ratio (SAR) ≥500) or pure silicon (SAR→∞) seeds are introduced into the gel system to ensure that the seeds are embedded in the product skeleton in a complete form; in the post-processing stage, since the removal rate of silicon atoms in the molecular sieve skeleton is much greater than that of aluminum atoms, the high silicon seed area is preferentially etched by an alkaline solution to directionally generate mesopores while retaining the matrix microporous structure, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and realize the precise customization of the multi-level pore structure.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0006] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a hierarchical pore zeolite, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Mixing silicon source, aluminum source, template, alkali source and water uniformly to obtain zeolite initial gel;

[0008] adding a seed solution to the initial zeolite gel, subjecting it to aging treatment and hydrothermal crystallization treatment to obtain a hierarchical pore zeolite precursor;

[0010] The seed crystal solution is a seed crystal solution with a silicon-to-aluminum ratio of ≥500 or a pure silicon seed crystal solution.

[0011] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the silicon source, aluminum source, template, alkali source and water is 1:(0.01-0.02):(0.05-0.3):(0.1-0.3):(20-100).

[0012] Furthermore, the amount of the seed solution added is 10-50% of the mass of the initial zeolite gel.

[0013] Optionally, the amount of the seed solution added to the initial zeolite gel is 30-50% of the mass of the initial zeolite gel.

[0014] Furthermore, the aging treatment time is 2 hours.

[0015] Furthermore, the temperature of the hydrothermal crystallization treatment is 140-200° C., and the time is 12-72 hours.

[0016] Optionally, the temperature of the hydrothermal crystallization treatment is 140-170°C.

[0017] Furthermore, the calcination temperature is 550° C. and the calcination time is 4-10 hours.

[0018] The purpose of calcination in the present invention is to remove the template.

[0019] Furthermore, the temperature of the alkaline solution etching is 80-100° C., and the time is 1-5 hours.

[0020] Optionally, the alkali solution etching time is 1-3 hours.

[0021] Furthermore, the silicon source is at least one of silica sol, white carbon black, silica gel and water glass.

[0022] Furthermore, the aluminum source is at least one of sodium metaaluminate, pseudo-boehmite, aluminum isopropoxide and aluminum sulfate.

[0023] Furthermore, the alkali source is at least one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide and ammonia water.

[0024] Furthermore, the template agent includes n-butylamine, tetraethylammonium hydroxide or tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

[0025] Optionally, the template includes tetraethylammonium hydroxide or tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

[0026] Furthermore, the pure silicon seed solution is a ZSM-5 zeolite seed solution.

[0027] Furthermore, the seed solution with a silicon-aluminum ratio of ≥500 is a Beta zeolite solution.

[0028] When the seed crystal solution is a ZSM-5 zeolite seed crystal solution, the template agent is n-butylamine, tetraethylammonium hydroxide or tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, preferably tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

[0029] When the seed crystal solution is a Beta zeolite seed crystal solution, the template is tetraethylammonium hydroxide.

[0030] Optionally, the step of preparing the ZSM-5 zeolite seed solution includes: mixing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH), and crystallizing at 50-170° C. for 24 hours to obtain the ZSM-5 zeolite seed solution.

[0031] Preferably, the molar ratio of ethyl orthosilicate to tetrapropylammonium hydroxide is 1:(0.2-0.3).

[0032] Preferably, the crystallization temperature is 70-100°C.

[0033] Optionally, the preparation step of the Beta zeolite seed solution includes: heat treating the Beta zeolite seeds in a 1-4 mol / L acid solution at a temperature of 50-150° C. for 6-12 h, drying and then dissolving in a 0.1-0.3 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the Beta zeolite seed solution.

[0038] Optionally, the alkali solution used for the alkali etching is sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 1-2 mol / L.

[0039] This invention synthesizes hierarchically porous zeolites through seed-induced synthesis. The seeds engage in two competing behaviors within the zeolite synthesis system: "structure-directed" (dissolution and recombination) and complete preservation. When the seed addition exceeds 30%, the system's supersaturation decreases significantly, resulting in the seeds being dominant as dopants. This results in the final product essentially becoming a "seed-new phase complex." Furthermore, during alkali treatment, the desiliconization rate of the zeolite framework is exponentially positively correlated with the silicon-to-aluminum ratio (SAR), with higher SARs resulting in faster desiliconization rates.

[0040] The second technical solution of the present invention is to provide a hierarchical pore zeolite, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0041] The third technical solution of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned hierarchical pore zeolite as a catalyst in the field of catalytic diesel hydrocracking to prepare monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and xylene isomerization.

[0042] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0043] The multi-level pore zeolite prepared by the present invention breaks through the inherent bottleneck of mesopore size and external specific surface area. Through the "high silicon / pure silicon seed-selective etching" synergistic strategy, mesopores (10-30nm) are generated in the zeolite skeleton, the mesopore volume is increased to 0.25-0.35cm3 / g, and the external specific surface area reaches 180-220m 2 / g, which is 100%-150% higher than the traditional seed method (mesopore volume <0.15cm3 / g, external specific surface area <120m2 / g), significantly enhancing the mass transfer efficiency of the reactants.

[0044] The hierarchical pore zeolite prepared by the present invention accurately retains the microporous structure and acid center, and the high-silicon seed crystals (SAR≥500) are preferentially dissolved in the alkali treatment, thereby extending the catalytic life by 2-3 times.

[0045] The method for preparing hierarchical pore zeolite of the present invention gets rid of the dependence on high-cost hard templates and toxic soft templates, is a green and low-cost process, and provides a universal solution for the industrial application of hierarchical pore zeolite.
