Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve materials and their preparation, specifically to a phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity and deterioration of crude oil, efficient processing of heavy oil and blending of residue oil have become urgent needs for refineries to improve processing capacity and obtain higher profits. Catalytic cracking is the most important process for heavy oil processing. Due to its significant advantages such as high heavy oil conversion efficiency, good product quality, non-hydrogenation, and low operating pressure, it occupies a pivotal position in refinery heavy oil processing and is a major source of refinery profits.

[0003] Because heavy oil and residual oil contain large molecular compounds such as gums and asphaltenes that easily produce coke, and also contain heavy metals such as nickel and vanadium, nickel and vanadium content in catalytic cracking equilibrium catalysts is commonly found at 10,000 μg / g, and severe contamination as high as 15,000 μg / g is not uncommon. Vanadium severely damages the structure of the active component molecular sieve in the catalyst under the high-temperature hydrothermal environment of catalytic cracking, resulting in reduced catalyst activity and poorer product distribution in catalytic cracking. Therefore, it is necessary to develop molecular sieves with excellent activity, hydrothermal stability, and resistance to heavy metal contamination to meet the stringent requirements for catalyst performance in heavy oil and residual oil cracking.

[0004] To improve the activity and stability of molecular sieves, existing technologies generally employ rare earth elements to modify them. For example, Chinese patent CN1169717C discloses a method and product for modifying Y zeolite with rare earth ions. This method uses NaY molecular sieves as raw materials, first subjecting them to ammonium exchange, then hydrothermal treatment, and finally using H-containing... + NH 4+ and RE 3+ After solution treatment, the modified molecular sieve product is obtained through washing, drying, and calcination. Chinese patent CN1026225C discloses a method for preparing rare earth Y molecular sieves, which involves ion exchange between NaY molecular sieves and rare earth ions in an aqueous solution, followed by filtration, and calcination of the filter cake in flowing steam. Chinese patent CN1069553C discloses a method for preparing rare earth Y-type molecular sieves, which involves ion exchange between NaY molecular sieves and rare earth ions, followed by filtration, and then calcination of the filter cake. 1-40% of the calcined product is recycled back to the next batch of rare earth exchange slurry to continue the above operations, while the remainder is used as REY molecular sieve product for catalyst preparation. This process is repeated continuously to obtain rare earth Y-type molecular sieves. Chinese patent CN103058217A discloses a method for preparing rare earth-containing Y molecular sieves, which uses NaY molecular sieves as raw material, first undergoing ammonium exchange, then hydrothermal treatment, and finally using H-containing... + NH 4+and RE 3+ After treatment with a mixed solution of organic solvent, the mother liquor is separated, and the filter cake is calcined to obtain the modified molecular sieve product. Chinese patent CN1159101C discloses a method for preparing rare-earth-containing ultrastable Y zeolite. This method involves mixing ultrastable Y zeolite with a sodium oxide content of 3-5% by weight with a rare-earth compound solution to form a slurry. The resulting slurry is then ground under a shear stress of at least 10 kg / cm² for at least 1 minute to obtain the modified molecular sieve product. The zeolite prepared by this method exhibits high hydrothermal stability, activity stability, and resistance to sodium and heavy metal contamination.

[0005] To further improve the catalytic performance of ultrastable rare earth Y-type molecular sieves, relevant literature has proposed methods for phosphorus modification.

[0006] Chinese patent CN1111136C discloses a method for preparing a phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve. The method involves first exchanging NaY molecular sieve with ammonium and rare earth ions, followed by calcination, then reacting it with a phosphorus compound to combine it with 1-10% by weight of P2O5, followed by further calcination. Chinese patent CN1209288C discloses a method for preparing a phosphorus- and rare earth-containing octahedral zeolite. This method involves first exchanging the octahedral zeolite with an ammonium and phosphorus compound, then introducing a rare earth solution into the exchange slurry for further reaction, followed by filtration, washing, and calcination. Catalysts containing this zeolite exhibit good activity and stability, high gasoline yield, low coke yield, strong heavy oil cracking ability, and resistance to heavy metal pollution.

[0007] Chinese patent CN1353086A discloses a method for preparing a phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve. The resulting Y-type molecular sieve can significantly reduce the olefin content of FCC gasoline while maintaining good coke selectivity. The method includes first exchanging the NaY molecular sieve with a mixture of ammonium ions and rare earth ions and then hydrothermally calcining it, then reacting it with a phosphorus compound to bind 0.2-10% by weight (calculated as P2O5) of phosphorus, and then hydrothermally calcining it again.

[0008] Chinese patent CN1330981A discloses a phosphorus-containing Y-type zeolite and its preparation method. This molecular sieve is obtained by co-leaching rare earth-containing Y-type zeolite with a solution containing silicon and phosphorus, drying it, and then hydrothermally calcining it at 550-850℃.

[0009] Chinese patent CN1317547A discloses a method for preparing phosphorus and rare earth composite modified ultrastable Y zeolite. The method involves mixing and exchanging rare earth elements with ammonium salts in NaY zeolite, followed by hydrothermal calcination, and then reacting with phosphorus compounds for a second calcination. The weight ratio of RE₂O₃ / Y zeolite is 0.02-0.18, the weight ratio of ammonium salt / Y zeolite is 0.1-1.0, and the weight ratio of P / Y zeolite is 0.003-0.05. The calcination temperature is 250-750℃, the moisture content is 5-100%, and the time is 0.2-3.5 hours. The rare earth content in the resulting zeolite is 2-12%, and the cell constant is [not specified]. The phosphorus content is 0.2-3% (calculated as P).

[0010] In existing technologies, after rare earth ion and phosphorus exchange in molecular sieves, the mixture is typically filtered, and the filter cake is then calcined. This results in incomplete exchange of rare earth and phosphorus onto the molecular sieve; some rare earth and phosphorus are lost into the filtrate, leading to low rare earth utilization and phosphorus loss. Therefore, improving the rare earth utilization rate and reducing phosphorus-containing wastewater discharge during the Y-type molecular sieve ion exchange process has become a key research focus.

[0011] There are two industrial methods for ion exchange using NaY molecular sieves: The first method involves mixing the Y-type molecular sieve with an aqueous solution containing rare earth ions to form a slurry, followed by ion exchange, filtration, washing, drying, and calcination (or no calcination). A plate and frame filter press is used for filtration. The disadvantages of this method are low efficiency and high water consumption. The second method involves mixing the Y-type molecular sieve with water to form a Y-type molecular sieve slurry. This slurry is directly transferred onto the filter cloth of a belt filter, forming a filter cake of a certain thickness. An aqueous solution of ammonium ions and / or rare earth ions is then added from above the filter cake. Under vacuum in the liquid receiver below the filter cloth, the solution containing ammonium ions and / or rare earth ions continuously passes through the filter cake, resulting in ion exchange. Belt filters are energy-efficient and highly effective, and are widely used in large-scale industrial production.

[0012] US Patent 3943233 discloses a method for continuous ion exchange of fluidizable zeolite particles. The method includes slurrying the zeolite particles with a first liquid, loading the slurry at a substantially constant rate into the feed end of a continuous horizontal belt vacuum filter, continuously moving the filter belt containing the slurry through a cake forming zone, at least one ion exchange zone, and a washing zone, while simultaneously applying vacuum to liquid receivers under each independent filter belt, and unloading the filter cake from the filter belt. The method is characterized by the filter cake leaving the cake forming zone with substantially no surface cracks, but containing liquid within the voids of the fluidizable zeolite particles. During the ion exchange process, the filter cake, in the ion exchange zone, contacts an ion exchange liquid under filtration conditions, leaves the ion exchange zone as a smooth, substantially crack-free filter cake containing liquid within the voids of the fluidizable zeolite particles, and is rapidly washed under vacuum after ion exchange.

[0013] Chinese patent CN1142024C discloses a method for rare earth ion exchange using a molecular sieve. The method includes slurrying a molecular sieve with water, continuously transferring the resulting slurry onto the filter belt of a horizontal belt vacuum filter, sequentially passing it through a cake forming zone and an ion exchange zone, applying vacuum to the liquid receivers under the filter belts in both the cake forming and ion exchange zones, washing and drying the filter cake, and removing the filter cake from the filter belt. The method is characterized by using a Y-type molecular sieve (cross-linked and calcined), adding acid and / or salt to the slurry (the amount of acid or salt being 0.1-5% by weight of the molecular sieve), ensuring the vacuum level in the liquid receivers of the cake forming zone is such that the filter cake surface is essentially free of cracks, and adding a rare earth ion-containing solution to the upper part of the filter cake in the ion exchange zone, with the concentration of the rare earth ion-containing solution such that the weight ratio of rare earth oxides to the molecular sieve is 0.01-0.5%.

[0014] Chinese patent CN1485136A describes a method for continuously loading a molecular sieve-containing slurry with a pH of 2-7 onto the filter cloth of a horizontal belt filter. The filter cloth loaded with the molecular sieve slurry is then sequentially passed through a cake forming zone, an ion exchange zone, and a washing zone. Afterward, it is blotted dry, unloaded, and dried to obtain the exchanged molecular sieve filter cake. In the ion exchange zone, an aqueous solution of rare earth compounds at a temperature of 10-100℃ is added from the top of the filter cake. The amount of rare earth compound aqueous solution used is such that the weight ratio of rare earth oxides to molecular sieves is 0.01-0.2.

[0015] Chinese patent CN108097288A provides a method for preparing rare earth Y-type molecular sieves. This method includes first mixing NaY molecular sieves, rare earth chloride solution, and deionized water, followed by ion exchange. Oxalic acid solution is added to the exchange solution to completely precipitate unexchanged rare earth. Rare earth chloride and deionized water are then added to the filtered filter cake for further ion exchange. The resulting filter cake and recycled filtrate are then filtered. The filter cake is calcined in a muffle furnace to obtain the product REY. The recycled filtrate completely or partially replaces the aforementioned rare earth chloride solution and enters the ion exchange process for the next batch of NaY molecular sieves. This method can recycle rare earth, achieving almost 100% utilization without increasing equipment, reducing production costs, and efficiently utilizing non-renewable rare earth resources.

[0016] Current technologies mainly focus on the efficient utilization of rare earth ions and phosphorus removal methods for phosphorus-containing wastewater, but there are no reports on improving the phosphorus utilization rate in the molecular sieve exchange process. Existing technologies all use adsorbents to adsorb phosphorus to meet emission standards. This operation requires prolonged contact between the adsorbent and the wastewater, and the adsorbent needs periodic regeneration, which cannot meet the continuous production requirements of the molecular sieve preparation process and seriously affects the production capacity of molecular sieves.

[0017] Therefore, how to effectively improve the utilization rate of phosphorus and rare earth elements in the ion exchange process of Y-type molecular sieve belt filters is an important measure for molecular sieve manufacturers to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and it is also one of the key research topics for molecular sieve manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The purpose of this invention is to develop a phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve and its preparation method, which can solve the problems of low rare earth utilization and serious phosphorus pollution in the production process of phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves, realize the efficient utilization of phosphorus and rare earth in the preparation process of phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves, and ensure continuous production of molecular sieves.

[0026] The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare-earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves of the present invention is not particularly limited in terms of the NaY molecular sieve and its preparation method.

[0034] The preparation method of the phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve of the present invention includes step 3 as follows: A phosphate solution is subjected to a first ion exchange with the composite filter cake obtained in step 2, followed by a first calcination to obtain a calcined molecular sieve; the calcined molecular sieve is slurried with water to form a filter cake; the phosphate solution is subjected to a second ion exchange with the filter cake, followed by a second calcination to obtain the phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve; the weight ratio of the phosphate solution to the calcined molecular sieve in step 3 is 0.02-0.15, calculated based on phosphorus element.

[0035] The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves of the present invention comprises, in step 2, the filtrate formed during the formation of the RE-NaY molecular sieve filter cake layer, in step 3, the filtrate formed during the first ion exchange, the filtrate formed during the formation of the filter cake from the slurry of the molecular sieve and water, and the filtrate formed during the second ion exchange, at least one of which is used as the phosphorus-containing filtrate of step 2.

[0036] The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves of the present invention uses the same horizontal belt filter in steps 1 and 2. The horizontal belt filter is equipped with a NaY filter cake forming zone and a cross-linked molecular sieve filter cake forming zone connected in series. The RE-NaY cross-linked molecular sieve slurry is added to the NaY filter cake layer in the cross-linked molecular sieve filter cake forming zone to form an RE-NaY cross-linked molecular sieve composite filter cake layer.

[0037] The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves of the present invention involves obtaining the final phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve by drying and calcining the molecular sieve filter cake after water washing in step 3, or by not spray drying and calcining.

[0043] The present invention provides a method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves. First, a NaY molecular sieve filter cake layer is formed. Then, a phosphorus- and rare earth-exchanged molecular sieve is loaded onto the NaY molecular sieve filter cake layer. Excess phosphorus and rare earth ions in the filtrate are then adsorbed and recovered through the NaY molecular sieve filter cake layer. The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves provided by the present invention can exchange Na+ in the molecular sieve. + Furthermore, the method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves provided by this invention is simple and achieves the recovery and utilization of phosphorus and rare earth ions during the molecular sieve exchange process, which can provide technical support for continuous molecular sieve production and energy conservation and consumption reduction in enterprises.

[0044] Furthermore, the present invention adds alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates to the NaY molecular sieve slurry to remove amorphous silica and aluminum on the surface of the NaY molecular sieve without damaging the molecular sieve structure, thereby improving the exchange efficiency of rare earth and Na ions. The humic acid added in this invention is a multi-component organic complex that dissolves in the alkaline system composed of NaY molecular sieve, alkali metal hydroxides, and carbonates to form, for example, sodium humate and potassium humate. Sodium humate and potassium humate can synthesize organic rare earth complexes with rare earth ions through adsorption, exchange, and complexation, thereby limiting the migration of rare earth ions in the filtrate and reducing their loss with the filtrate. Humic acid also has the function of fixing phosphorus, making it less likely for phosphorus to be lost with the filtrate. The method for preparing phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves provided by this invention recovers rare earth and phosphorus lost from the filtrate through the adsorption of the NaY filter cake layer and humic acid, achieving a dual function of phosphorus and rare earth recovery during the NaY molecular sieve exchange process.

[0058] The following provides a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and processes. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions.

[0059] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a single ion exchange process according to one embodiment of the preparation method of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a secondary ion exchange process according to one embodiment of the preparation method of the present invention. In this embodiment, the preparation method of the phosphorus- and rare-earth-containing Y-type molecular sieve of the present invention may specifically include the following steps:

[0060] I. Formation of NaY Molecular Sieve Filter Cake

[0061] A slurry composed of NaY molecular sieve, alkali metal hydroxide, carbonate, humic acid, and water, prepared at 10-100℃ (preferably 50-90℃), is continuously loaded from a mixing tank 1 onto the filter cloth 3 of a horizontal vacuum belt filter via pipeline 2. The filter cloth moves continuously into the NaY molecular sieve filter cake forming zone 4. A liquid receiver 8 is located below the filter cloth 3. The liquid receiver 8 is evacuated, and under vacuum, the liquid in the slurry on the filter cloth 3 passes through the filter cloth 3 and enters the liquid receiver 8. Simultaneously, a filter cake forms on the NaY slurry on the filter cloth 3. The loading rate of the NaY slurry should ensure that the thickness of the formed NaY filter cake is 0.5-1.5 cm, preferably 0.8-1.5 cm. The vacuum level in the liquid receiver 8 prevents cracking on the surface of the filter cake. The vacuum level in the liquid receiver 8 is, for example, but not limited to, 0.02-0.08 MPa, preferably 0.05-0.08 MPa.

[0062] II. Formation of the filter cake

[0063] The 50-100℃ primary molecular sieve slurry is continuously loaded from the mixing tank 5 through pipeline 6 onto the NaY filter cake layer of the horizontal vacuum belt filter, and moves with the filter cloth into the primary molecular sieve filter cake forming zone 7. The phosphorus-containing filtrate can be provided by the liquid receiver 22 of the secondary molecular sieve process (described later) or by the filtrate collected in the liquid collector 8. This reduces water consumption, recovers phosphorus from the secondary process filtrate, reduces wastewater discharge, and improves phosphorus utilization. Simultaneously, the primary molecular sieve slurry forms a filter cake on the filter cloth 3. The loading speed of the primary molecular sieve slurry should ensure that the thickness of the formed primary molecular sieve filter cake is 0.5-1.5 cm, preferably 0.8-1.5 cm.

[0064] III. Phosphate Exchange

[0065] As the filter cloth 3 moves, the filter cake formed in the NaY molecular sieve filter cake forming zone 4 and the cross-linked filter cake forming zone 7 enters the ion exchange zone 11. A phosphate solution at a temperature of 20-100℃, preferably 30-90℃, is added through the container 9 and pipeline 10. Under vacuum, the phosphate solution undergoes ion exchange as it passes through the filter cake.

[0066] IV. Washing

[0067] The washing method can be any method known to those skilled in the art. The filter cake obtained in the ion exchange zone 11 enters the water washing zone 14, and deionized water is added from the container 12 through the pipeline 13. The weight ratio of deionized water to molecular sieve is generally 1-15, preferably 2-10, and the temperature of the deionized water is 20-100℃, preferably 30-90℃. Under vacuum, the liquid permeates through the filter cake, washing away residual ions, especially anions, from the filter cake.

[0068] V. Formation of the two-stage filter cake

[0069] A mono-calcined molecular sieve slurry at 10-100℃, preferably 50-90℃, is continuously loaded from a mixing tank 15 onto the filter cloth 17 of a horizontal vacuum belt filter via pipeline 16. The filter cloth moves continuously into the di-calcined molecular sieve cake forming zone 18. A liquid receiver 22 is located below the filter cloth 17. The liquid receiver 22 is evacuated, and under vacuum, the liquid in the slurry on the filter cloth 17 passes through the filter cloth 17 and enters the liquid receiver 22. Simultaneously, a filter cake is formed on the mono-calcined molecular sieve slurry on the filter cloth 17. The loading rate of the mono-calcined molecular sieve slurry should ensure that the thickness of the formed mono-calcined molecular sieve filter cake is 0.5-2.0 cm, preferably 0.8-1.5 cm. The vacuum degree in the liquid receiver 22 ensures that the filter cake surface is free of cracks. The vacuum degree in the liquid receiver 22 is, for example, but not limited to, 0.02-0.08 MPa, preferably 0.03-0.08 MPa.

[0070] VI. Phosphate Exchange

[0071] As the filter cloth 17 moves, the filter cake formed in the two-stage filter cake forming zone 18 enters the ion exchange zone 21, where a phosphate solution at a temperature of 20-100°C, preferably 30-90°C, is added through the container 19 and pipeline 20. Under vacuum, the phosphate solution undergoes ion exchange as it passes through the filter cake.

[0072] 7. Two washes

[0073] The washing method can employ methods known to those skilled in the art. Deionized water is added from container 23 through pipeline 24 onto the filter cake obtained in ion exchange zone 21. The weight ratio of deionized water to molecular sieve is generally 1-15, preferably 2-10, and the temperature of the deionized water is 20-100℃, preferably 30-90℃.

[0090] The following example uses a cloth funnel filter to illustrate the method provided by this invention. Since the cloth funnel filter also involves stages such as cake formation, ion exchange, and washing, but these steps are performed separately, it is equivalent to the continuous process performed on a belt filter.

[0091] Comparative Example 1

[0092] A 1-baked molecular sieve sample was prepared according to the method provided in patent CN1485136A.

[0093] I. Filter cake formation

[0094] NaY molecular sieves were mixed with deionized water to prepare a slurry with a pH of 9 and a solid content of 100 g / L. The resulting slurry was heated to 70°C with stirring and poured into a Buchner funnel. Simultaneously, the filter cake in the Buchner funnel was evacuated to 0.05 MPa. Under vacuum, a filter cake of approximately 1.2 cm thick formed on the filter cloth of the Buchner funnel. The waste liquid in the filtration flask was then drained.

[0095] II. Ion Exchange

[0096] Maintain the vacuum in the filter flask. When there is almost no liquid on the surface of the filter cake, immediately and slowly add an aqueous solution of lanthanum chloride containing 50 g / L of lanthanum oxide at a temperature of 65°C. The addition rate should be such that there is always liquid on the surface of the filter cake until the weight ratio of lanthanum oxide to molecular sieve is 0.05.

[0097] III. Washing

[0098] Maintain the vacuum in the filter flask. When there is almost no liquid on the surface of the filter cake, immediately and slowly add deionized water at a temperature of 65°C. The rate at which the deionized water is added should be such that there is always liquid on the surface of the filter cake. Continue adding deionized water at a rate equivalent to three times the weight of the molecular sieve in the filter cake.

[0099] IV. Absorb dry

[0100] Continue evacuating until no more liquid flows out of the funnel, obtaining the dried filter cake and filtrate A.

[0101] V. Remove the filter cake and dry it.

[0102] The filter cloth was removed from the funnel, and the filter cake was removed from the filter cloth and dried at 140℃ to obtain a calcined molecular sieve. The sodium oxide content of the calcined molecular sieve was measured to be 4.6%, the rare earth content was 4.53%, and the rare earth content of filtrate A was 3208 ppm.

[0103] Then, the sample was prepared according to the method provided in patent CN1416951A.

[0104] The prepared molecular sieve, deionized water, and filtrate A were mixed and slurried to produce a molecular sieve slurry with a molecular sieve content of 120 g / L, wherein the amount of salt (i.e., rare earth chloride and sodium chloride contained in the filtrate) was 1.1 wt% of the molecular sieve. The obtained molecular sieve slurry was heated to 90°C and poured into a Buchner funnel. Simultaneously, the filter flask was evacuated to 0.07 MPa, forming a filter cake with a thickness of 10 mm on the filter cloth. When there was no liquid on the surface of the filter cake, an ammonium phosphate solution with a phosphorus content of 50 g / L and a temperature of 90°C was immediately added. The addition rate was ensured to prevent cracking on the surface of the filter cake, and the amount of ammonium phosphate solution was such that the weight ratio of phosphorus to molecular sieve was 0.1. When there was no liquid on the surface of the filter cake, deionized water at a temperature of 90°C was immediately added to wash the filter cake, with a weight ratio of deionized water to molecular sieve of 3. Then the filter cake and filtrate B were removed, and the filter cake was dried at 120°C to obtain rare earth Y-type molecular sieve D1. The D1 molecular sieve sample contained 1.0% sodium oxide, 125 ppm phosphorus in the filtrate, and 796 ppm rare earth elements.

Set the slurry temperature to 70°C, stir for 1.5 h, maintain a vacuum of 0.04 MPa in the filter flask, and make the filter cake thickness 13 mm. Add lanthanum-rich rare earth chloride to the NaY molecular sieve slurry.

[0134] Step 3) Prepare an ammonium phosphate solution at 50°C, using an amount such that the weight ratio of phosphorus to molecular sieve is 0.17.

[0137] The results of molecular sieve samples S1 to S4 obtained in Examples 1-4 show that the phosphorus- and rare earth-containing Y-type molecular sieves obtained by the method of this invention have a higher rare earth introduction amount than conventional phosphorus and rare earth Y-type molecular sieves, and the rare earth introduction amount is controllable. Compared with molecular sieve D1 prepared by the comparative example using existing patented technology, the molecular sieve prepared by the examples of this invention has a sodium oxide content comparable to the comparative molecular sieve, but there is virtually no loss of phosphorus and rare earth during the molecular sieve preparation process, and the utilization rate of phosphorus and rare earth reaches over 99%. In contrast, the rare earth content of molecular sieve D1 prepared by the comparative example is significantly lower than the feed amount, and a large amount of phosphorus and rare earth is not exchanged onto the molecular sieve during the exchange process and is lost with the filtrate during filtration, resulting in low utilization of phosphorus and rare earth. If the phosphorus and rare earth entering the filtrate are not treated, they will also cause environmental pollution. As can be seen from the molecular sieve sample S1 obtained in the example and the rare earth Y molecular sieve D2 obtained in the comparative example, under the same rare earth content, the phosphorus-containing and rare earth-containing Y molecular sieve prepared by the method provided by the present invention can take into account the utilization rate of phosphorus and rare earth and the sodium oxide content of molecular sieve, without affecting the subsequent use of molecular sieve, and has a good prospect for industrial application.

[0138] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
