Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention provides an MCM molecular sieve encapsulating nano-metal particles, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to their large surface area, pore volume, and uniform pore size, MCM-41 and other M41S series molecular sieves have attracted significant interest. The emergence of M41S mesoporous materials has not only broadened the application range of molecular sieves but also addressed the limitations of microporous materials. However, the low acidity of pure silicon MCM-41 has made it difficult to use as a catalyst in industrial production. In recent years, the introduction of heteroatoms into mesoporous molecular sieves to enhance their acidity and stability has attracted increasing attention. Almost all transition metals and main-group elements can be incorporated into molecular sieves through hydrothermal synthesis and impregnation methods, serving as catalytic active sites to enhance their catalytic activity. Among these heteroatoms, mesoporous iron, cobalt, and nickel silicates have demonstrated excellent catalytic performance in many homogeneous oxidation reactions, such as phenol hydroxylation, adsorptive desulfurization, and oxidative desulfurization. The state of the heteroatoms within the molecular sieve directly determines its catalytic performance.

[0003] Nano-metal particle catalysts can be used to produce fine chemicals, improve fuels, produce hydrogen, utilize solar energy, and eliminate pollutants. However, in certain high-temperature reactions, metal particles tend to aggregate or become inactivated due to metal leaching. In order to solve the problem of stability of nano-metal particles, people have made great efforts, including strengthening the interaction between metal and support, adding promoters, and adjusting the diameter or morphology of metal particles. The coating of nano-metal particles in molecular sieves can be mainly divided into two strategies: post-synthesis method and in-situ confinement method. The post-synthesis strategy refers to the introduction of nano-metal particles after the zeolite structure is constructed. In contrast, the in-situ confinement method requires the co-crystallization of zeolite and metal precursor, and obtains nano-metal particles by in situ reduction.

[0004] The in-situ confinement method involves introducing metal nanoparticles or precursors into the interior of molecular sieve crystals through a one-step hydrothermal synthesis process. This method first involves mixing synthesized metal nanoparticles or soluble metal precursors with a molecular sieve synthesis gel, followed by high-temperature crystallization. The resulting product is then calcined to remove organic matter and reduced in the presence of a reducing agent to yield metal nanoparticles. This method is simple and effective, but because metal particles are larger than the molecular sieve pores, the reduced metal expands the molecular sieve's pore structure during the reduction process, disrupting the sieve's structure and reducing the catalyst's effectiveness. The post-synthesis method is widely used because it offers the advantage of not being restricted to the type of molecular sieve framework. By impregnating the molecular sieve support with a metal colloid or soluble metal precursor, metal nanoparticles can be introduced into the molecular sieve's internal pores. However, this method results in the majority of the metal nanoparticles remaining on the molecular sieve's surface, with only a small fraction penetrating the pores, hindering their catalytic activity. Summary of the Invention

The passivated outer surface of the MCM-41 molecular sieve will not undergo a desiliconization reaction under the action of an alkaline substance, thereby protecting the outer surface of the MCM-41 molecular sieve. The alkaline substance then causes a desiliconization reaction inside the molecular sieve pores, forming new mesopores and macropores. Metal particles are then embedded in the pores of the molecular sieve, and the size of the nano-metal particles is adjusted at any time according to the size of the molecular sieve pores. Finally, crystallization is used to encapsulate the outer pores etched by the alkaline substance, thereby utilizing the confinement effect in the molecular sieve pores to prevent the nano-metal particles from agglomerating.

[0064] From Comparative Examples 1-2 and Example 1, Table 1 shows that in Comparative Example 1, Fe@MCM-41 is prepared by the in-situ constraint method. The process of this method is quite simple and convenient. It only requires the use of H2 reduction to pull the metal out of the skeleton. However, this method will force the metal particles in the skeleton to be pulled out of the skeleton, thereby destroying the skeleton structure of the molecular sieve. Secondly, the metal particles precipitated from the skeleton will be larger than the pores, thereby having a certain destructive effect on the structure of the pores. Therefore, the overall structure of the molecular sieve will be greatly changed. Therefore, the catalytic performance of the catalyst obtained by this method is low. Comparative Example 2 adopts a post-synthesis strategy method, which is basically the same as the ordinary loading method. The metal particles are ultimately loaded on the surface of the molecular sieve in the form of oxides, which will cause the overall loss of metal particles during the reaction, thereby affecting the performance of the catalyst.

[0065] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the Fe@MCM-41 molecular sieve obtained by the method provided by the present invention still has the characteristic peak of high regularity of MCM-41 molecular sieve in small-angle XRD, indicating that the modification of metal particles does not destroy the structure of the molecular sieve itself; Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the iron atoms in the Fe@MCM-41 molecular sieve obtained by the method provided by the present invention are in the form of single substance ( Figure 4It exists in the form of iron element Fe2p3 / 2 orbital (706.5eV), and it can be clearly seen in the electron microscope image that the size of the metal element particles is about 5nm.

[0066] Depend on Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 It can be seen that by changing the amount of alkali, the size of nano-metal particles can be controlled at any time, and the size of the metal particles varies from 5-25nm.

[0067] As can be seen from Table 1, as the size of the nano-metal particles increases, the catalytic activity becomes better and better. However, when the nano-metal particles are too large, although the structure of the molecular sieve itself will not be destroyed, the alkali etching will increase the interconnectivity of the internal pores of the molecular sieve, causing the strength of the molecular sieve itself to decrease, and thus the catalytic performance will decrease to a certain extent.

[0068] In summary, according to the method of the present invention, the molecular sieve prepared is first protected by a passivating agent to protect the silicon hydroxyl groups on the outside of the molecular sieve. The alkaline substance will enter the molecular sieve pores and etch from the inside without etching and damaging the outer surface of the molecular sieve. The two independent pore structures of the internal molecular sieve are interconnected due to the etching of the alkaline substance to form new macropore and mesoporous structures. The size of the internal pore structure of the molecular sieve is adjusted according to the concentration and amount of the alkaline substance. Subsequently, nano-metal particles are introduced into the molecular sieve pores. Due to the confinement effect of the molecular sieve pore structure, the nano-metal particles will not exceed the size of the molecular sieve pores and destroy the internal structure of the molecular sieve. Finally, the internal etched pores are re-encapsulated by secondary crystallization to completely encapsulate the nano-metal particles in the molecular sieve pores.

[0069] Compared with conventional post-treatment methods, which can only load most of the nano-metal particles on the outer surface of the molecular sieve, and because the nano-metal particles are exposed to the outside, they will continue to agglomerate or even lose after high-temperature treatment, resulting in a decrease in catalytic effect. Compared with the conventional one-step hydrothermal synthesis, the one-step method is simpler, but it must be reduced to a metal elemental state. However, the nano-metal particles after reduction are much larger than the pores of the molecular sieve itself, so it is bound to cause the internal structure of the molecular sieve to be partially enlarged and damaged, resulting in a decrease in catalytic performance.

[0070] Any numerical value mentioned in the present invention includes all values that increase by one unit each time from the lowest value to the highest value if there is only a gap of two units between any minimum value and any maximum value. For example, if the amount of a component, or the value of a process variable such as temperature, pressure, time, etc. is stated to be 50-90, it is meant in this specification to specifically list values such as 51-89, 52-88... and 69-71 and 70-71. For non-integer values, it is appropriate to consider units of 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 or 0.0001. These are just some special examples. In this application, in a similar manner, all possible combinations of numerical values between the listed lowest value and the listed highest value are considered to have been disclosed.
