Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical separation, in particular to a method for separating ultrafine molecular sieves from alkaline ultrafine molecular sieve synthesis mother liquor. Background Art

[0002] Microporous zeolite molecular sieve is an inorganic silicon-containing crystal with a skeleton that has regular and orderly arranged pores close to the molecular size. It is widely used in catalysis, ion exchange, separation and other fields. For example, ZSM-5 zeolite has a pore system composed of 10-membered rings and has three-dimensional pores. It is widely used in reactions such as alkylation, isomerization, disproportionation, selective cracking and the synthesis of gasoline from methanol.

[0003] Most of the active sites of molecular sieves are located in the micropore structure (pore size is only about 0.55nm), and large molecules are difficult to diffuse and react in it, which limits its excellent catalytic performance. Therefore, people are prompted to develop and prepare ultrafine molecular sieves with smaller particles to shorten the transfer distance of reactant molecules in the pores. In addition, the smaller the molecular sieve grains, the more active centers required for the catalytic reaction exposed on the surface of the molecular sieve, and the higher the catalyst activity. Therefore, for most reactions, the smaller the molecular sieve grains, the higher the catalytic reaction efficiency. However, the smaller the molecular sieve particles, the higher their total surface energy. The more intense the solization of the molecular sieve particles in the molecular sieve alkaline suspension (i.e., the molecular sieve synthesis mother liquor) after crystallization, the more difficult it is to separate from the molecular sieve alkaline suspension after crystallization.

[0004] Molecular sieve crystals are separated from mother liquor by filtration, centrifugation or membrane separation. However, filtration is limited by the pore size of the filter cloth and is not suitable for the separation of ultrafine molecular sieve crystals (particle size below 200nm); centrifugal separation is only suitable for the preparation of small batches of molecular sieves in the laboratory; membrane separation requires a large amount of pure water, and the membrane pores are easily clogged, so it is only suitable for separating molecular sieve crystals with a particle size greater than 200nm.

[0005] Patent 201510216500.3 provides a method for separating ultrafine titanium silicon molecular sieve from an alkaline suspension of molecular sieve, comprising the following steps: (1) adding a dilute acidic solution to the alkaline suspension of molecular sieve after crystallization to adjust the pH value of the molecular sieve suspension to weak acidity; (2) then adding acidic silica sol and polyacrylamide solution in sequence, (3) then adding a dilute alkaline solution to adjust the pH value to weak alkalinity, (4) then adding a dilute acidic solution to reversely adjust the pH value to neutrality, static precipitation, filtration, separation and recovery to obtain ultrafine titanium silicon molecular sieve. Although this method achieves the separation of ultrafine molecular sieves, it requires the alternating addition of acid and alkali to adjust the pH value of the solution, and the steps are cumbersome. Patent CN108793183A discloses a method for separating titanium silicon molecular sieve mother liquor, comprising the following steps: (1) adding a water-soluble flocculant to the titanium silicon molecular sieve mother liquor after crystallization, specifically one or more of chitosan cross-linked cationic polymer flocculant, polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride, dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride-acrylamide copolymer, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, etc.; (2) adding an organic acid or inorganic acid solution to adjust the pH value of the molecular sieve mother liquor to 3-9; (3) standing and settling for 0.5-24 hours, filtering, drying and roasting, and separating the titanium silicon molecular sieve raw powder. This method still requires the addition of an organic acid or an inorganic acid to adjust the pH value of the mother liquor, and the resulting precipitate still needs to be filtered and separated.

[0037] The method for separating the ultrafine molecule sieve from the alkaline ultrafine molecule sieve synthesis mother liquor provided by the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Comparative Example 1 (Synthesis and membrane separation of ultrafine ZSM-5 molecular sieve)

[0039] The silicon source, the aluminum source and the water are mixed evenly to obtain a colloidal mixture, the molar ratio of each substance in the mixture is SiO2:Al2O3:H2O=60:1:200, and the pH value is 12; the above mixture and the template agent tetrapropylammonium hydroxide are mixed, 5% by mass (relative to the total mass of the mixture and the template agent) of seed crystals are added, and the mixture is placed in a crystallization kettle and crystallized at 170°C for 50 hours to obtain an ultrafine grain ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor with an average grain size of 200nm.

[0040] The ultrafine-grained ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor is separated by a ceramic membrane to obtain an ultrafine-grained ZSM-5 molecular sieve. The above mother liquor separation needs to be washed with water 5 to 8 times (the amount of water is 20 to 30 times the volume of the mother liquor) to obtain a molecular sieve slurry with a pH value of 7 to 8, a solid content of less than 10%, and cannot be filtered, and drying will waste a lot of heat.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] According to the synthesis method of Comparative Example 1, 2 L of ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor was obtained, the average crystal size was 200 nm, and the pH value was 12. Figure 1 This is a physical picture of ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor.

[0043] 2g ammonium chloride, 6g urea, 10g acrylonitrile, 10g polyacrylamide (molecular weight 6-8 million, anionic type) are added to 1L deionized water and fully dissolved to obtain the first flocculant; 5g polyacrylamide (molecular weight 18-20 million, anionic type) is dissolved in 1L deionized water to obtain the second flocculant. 50mL of the first flocculant solution is added dropwise to the ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor, stirred for 3-5min until the mother liquor begins to agglomerate; then 20mL of the second flocculant is added, stirred for 2min, and the stirring is stopped after large particle agglomerates appear; after precipitation for 10min, the supernatant is poured out, and 1L deionized water is poured into the precipitate, stirred for 2min, and settled for 10min, and this is repeated 4 times. After the pH value of the solution is less than 8, the precipitate is filtered, dried and roasted to obtain the ultrafine grain ZSM-5 molecular sieve raw powder.

[0044] Compared with membrane separation, the amount of washing water is 4 to 8 times the volume of the mother liquor, which saves a lot of water. At the same time, the solid content of the filter cake of the filter press is as high as 60 to 75%, which saves a lot of energy in the drying process.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a physical picture of the mother liquor system obtained after adding the first flocculant to the ZSM-5 molecular sieve mother liquor. Figure 3 This is a physical picture of the mother liquor system obtained after adding the second flocculant. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that after adding the first flocculant, the molecular sieve mother liquor has shown obvious sedimentation. After further adding the second flocculant, larger flocculants appear in the molecular sieve mother liquor, and the molecular sieve slurry shows further sedimentation.

[0046] Figure 4 This is a SEM image of the 200nm ultrafine ZSM-5 molecular sieve powder separated in Example 1. Figure 4 It can be seen that the separated molecular sieve has a uniform particle size distribution of about 200 nm, and the addition of flocculant does not cause the agglomeration of the molecular sieve grains, indicating that the above separation method has no effect on the morphology of the molecular sieve.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] The silicon source, aluminum source, water and sodium hydroxide are uniformly mixed to obtain a colloidal mixture, wherein the molar ratio of each substance in the mixture is SiO2:Al2O3:H2O=20:1:50, and the pH value is 13; the above mixture is mixed with the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide, 8% by weight (relative to the total weight of the mixture and the template agent) of seed crystals are added, and the mixture is placed in a crystallization kettle at 150°C for crystallization for 40 hours to obtain an ultrafine BETA molecular sieve mother liquor with an average grain size of 200nm. Take 2L of the BETA molecular sieve mother liquor.

[0049] 2g ammonium chloride, 6g urea, 10g acrylonitrile, 5g polyacrylamide (molecular weight 6-7.5 million, anionic type) are added to 1L deionized water and fully dissolved to obtain the first flocculant; 5g polyacrylamide (molecular weight 16-18 million, anionic type) is dissolved in 1L deionized water to obtain the second flocculant. 80mL of the first flocculant is added dropwise to the BETA molecular sieve mother liquor, stirred for 3-5min until the mother liquor begins to agglomerate; then 30mL of the second flocculant is added, stirred for 2min, and the stirring is stopped after large particle agglomerates appear; after precipitation for 10min, the supernatant is poured out, and 1L deionized water is poured into the precipitate, stirred for 2min, and settled for 10min. This is repeated 5 times. After the pH value of the solution is less than 8, the precipitate is filtered, dried and roasted to obtain the ultrafine BETA molecular sieve raw powder.

[0050] Compared with membrane separation, the amount of washing water is 5 to 8 times the mass of the mother liquor, which saves a lot of water. At the same time, the solid content of the filter cake of the filter press is as high as 60 to 75%, which saves a lot of energy in the drying process.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Ethyl orthosilicate, water and sodium hydroxide are uniformly mixed to obtain a colloidal mixture, wherein the molar ratio of each substance in the mixture is SiO2:H2O=20:50, and the pH value is 11; the above mixture is mixed with the template agent tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, 8% by mass (relative to the total mass of the mixture and the template agent) of seed crystals are added, and the mixture is placed in a crystallization kettle at 170°C for crystallization for 40 hours to obtain an ultrafine crystalline Silicalite-1 molecular sieve mother liquor, and the average crystal particle size is 100nm. Take 2L of the ultrafine crystalline Silicalite-1 molecular sieve mother liquor.

[0053] 5g of ammonium chloride, 4g of urea, 12g of acrylonitrile, and 5g of polyacrylamide (molecular weight 6-8 million, anionic type) were added to 1L of deionized water and fully dissolved to obtain the first flocculant; 5g of polyacrylamide (molecular weight 18-20 million, anionic type) was dissolved in 1L of deionized water to obtain the second flocculant. 50mL of the first flocculant was added dropwise to the Silicalite-1 molecular sieve mother liquor, and stirred for 5min until the mother liquor began to agglomerate; then 60mL of the second flocculant was added, stirred for 3-5min, and the stirring was stopped after large particle agglomerates appeared; after precipitation for 10min, the supernatant was poured out, and 1L of deionized water was poured into the precipitate, stirred for 2min, and settled for 10min, and this was repeated 3 times. After the pH value of the solution was less than 8, the precipitate was filtered, dried, and roasted to obtain the ultrafine Silicalite-1 molecular sieve raw powder.

[0054] Compared with membrane separation, the amount of washing water is 5 to 8 times the mass of the mother liquor, which saves a lot of water. At the same time, the solid content of the filter cake of the filter press is as high as 60 to 75%, which saves a lot of energy in the drying process.

[0055] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the method provided by the present invention not only avoids the step of adding acid and alkali to adjust the pH value, but also can directly obtain a sedimentation product after static sedimentation after the secondary flocculation. The sedimentation product can directly separate the water phase and the solid phase without filtering, which not only ensures the separation effect of the ultrafine molecular sieve, but also greatly improves the separation efficiency of the ultrafine molecular sieve, saving a lot of water resources and the energy required for drying.

[0056] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
