Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve preparation, specifically to a sheet-like FER molecular sieve with controllable thickness, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Molecular sieves with typical FER topologies were first synthesized by Plank in 1977 using a hydrothermal synthesis method. These sieves possess a highly interconnected cross-channel structure, where the five-membered ring basic framework unit forms a three-dimensional spatial grid with six- and ten-membered ring channels. This, in turn, creates a two-dimensional channel system with interlaced eight- and ten-membered rings parallel to the (010) and (001) crystal planes of the sieve, with channel sizes of 0.35 nm × 0.48 nm and 0.42 nm × 0.54 nm, respectively. Artificially synthesized FER molecular sieves offer advantages such as high crystallinity and adjustable silicon-to-aluminum ratios. Their unique two-dimensional channel structure provides excellent shape selectivity and catalytic performance, making them widely used in chemical reactions and separations.
[0003] Although FER molecular sieves have promising applications, most industrially produced FER molecular sieves currently have a low silica-alumina ratio. Under long-term operation, low silica-alumina ratio FER molecular sieves are prone to coking, leading to catalyst deactivation. In contrast, high silica-alumina ratio FER molecular sieves exhibit higher hydrothermal stability and unique catalytic properties, making them more suitable for use as industrial catalysts.
[0004] Traditionally synthesized FER molecular sieves are primarily plate-shaped, which is advantageous for shortening mass transfer pathways and reducing diffusion limitations. Particulate FER molecular sieves possess wider pores and exhibit excellent performance in adsorption; however, the controllable synthesis of particulate high silica-to-alumina ratio FER molecular sieves remains a challenge. Therefore, developing a method for synthesizing high silica-to-alumina ratio FER molecular sieves with controllable thickness and its acoustic enhancement materials is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheet-like FER molecular sieve with controllable thickness, its preparation method, and its applications. This preparation method can produce sheet-like FER molecular sieves with adjustable thickness and high silica-to-alumina ratio, and the synthesized sheet-like FER molecular sieves have characteristics such as high crystallinity and large specific surface area. The obtained sheet-like FER molecular sieves of different thicknesses can be used as raw materials to produce acoustic reinforcement materials. Assembling these acoustic reinforcement materials in the rear cavity of a loudspeaker can significantly improve its acoustic performance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This invention provides a method for preparing a sheet-like FER molecular sieve with controllable thickness, the method comprising the following steps:
[0008] A raw material mixture is obtained by mixing an alkali source, a silicon source, an aluminum source, deionized water, a mineralizing agent, a template agent, and a growth regulator.
[0009] The raw material mixture is subjected to a hydrothermal crystallization reaction, and the product is washed, dried and calcined to obtain the sheet-like FER molecular sieve.
[0010] The molar ratios of the raw materials are as follows: SiO2 / Al2O3 = 60–500, preferably 100–500, such as 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, etc.; Na2O / SiO2 = 0.01–0.5, preferably 0.01–0.1, more preferably 0.01–0.03, such as 0.01, 0.025, 0.03, etc.; H2O / SiO2 = 10–50, such as… 10, 20, 24, 30, 40, 50, etc.; X / SiO2 = 0.1~5, preferably 0.1~1, for example 0.1, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, etc.; Y / SiO2 = 1~2, preferably 1~1.5, for example 1, 1.5, etc.; Z / SiO2 = 0.1~1, preferably 0.3~0.6, for example 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, etc.; X is used to represent mineralizer, Y is used to represent template agent, and Z is used to represent growth regulator.

[0013] The preparation method of this invention, by adding a growth regulator, can synthesize sheet-like high silica-to-alumina ratio FER molecular sieves with an adjustable thickness within the range of 0.2–5 μm (silicon-to-alumina ratio can reach 60–500), while ensuring high crystallinity and a large specific surface area, thus meeting the needs of different application fields. The controllable thickness mentioned in this invention refers to the ability to controllably synthesize sheet-like FER molecular sieves of different thicknesses by using a certain template agent while adding a growth regulator and controlling its amount under different requirements.

[0015] When Z / SiO2 = 0.3–0.6, the thickness of the obtained plate-like FER molecular sieve is 0.5–2 μm;
[0016] When Z / SiO2 = 0.6 to 1, the thickness of the resulting plate-like FER molecular sieve is 2 to 5 μm.
[0017] According to the preparation method of the present invention, preferably, Z / SiO2 = 0.3 to 0.6, corresponding to a thickness of 0.5 to 2 μm for the obtained sheet-like FER molecular sieve.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of each raw material is 1.0SiO2:0.002Al2O3:0.025Na2O:24H2O:0.4Z:1.5Y:0.8X or 1.0SiO2:0.01Al2O3:0.025Na2O:24H2O:0.5Z:1.5Y:0.8X.
[0019] In the molar ratio of each raw material in this invention, the silicon source is converted to SiO2, the aluminum source to Al2O3, and the alkali source to Na2O.

[0024] According to the preparation method of the present invention, preferably, the temperature of the hydrothermal crystallization reaction is 130-200°C and the time is 72-168h; more preferably, the temperature of the hydrothermal crystallization reaction is 150-180°C and the time is 120-168h.
[0025] According to the preparation method of the present invention, preferably, the calcination temperature is 500-700°C and the time is 12-24 hours.
[0026] According to the preparation method of the present invention, preferably, the drying temperature is 60-80℃ and the time is 12-24h.
[0027] According to the preparation method of the present invention, preferably, the preparation method uses different growth regulators and their addition ratios to obtain sheet-like FER molecular sieves of different thicknesses and dimensions. More preferably, the preparation method uses different growth regulators to adjust the average side length of the obtained FER molecular sieves to be 4-6 μm and the average thickness to be 0.2-5 μm.
[0028] In another aspect, the present invention provides a sheet-like FER molecular sieve with controllable thickness obtained by the above preparation method.
[0029] The sheet-like FER molecular sieve synthesized in this invention is a sodium-type molecular sieve. It can also be obtained as a hydrogen-type FER molecular sieve through calcination and ion exchange, or functionalized FER molecular sieves can be obtained through other cation substitutions, and then used in different industrial applications.
[0030] This invention relates to the preparation of sheet-like FER molecular sieves by adding a growth regulator to control the growth of FER molecular sieve crystals along different directions, thereby obtaining FER molecular sieves of varying thicknesses. Due to the physical adsorption interaction of the growth regulator on specific crystal surfaces, the surface free energy of the zeolite crystals is altered, thus affecting the growth rate and allowing the crystals to grow in different directions, resulting in FER molecular sieves of different sizes. This invention enables the controllable synthesis of sheet-like FER molecular sieves with an average side length of 4–6 μm and an average thickness of 0.2–5 μm.
[0031] In another aspect, the present invention provides the application of the above-obtained sheet-like FER molecular sieve with controllable thickness in the preparation of acoustic enhancement materials.
[0032] Specifically, the acoustic enhancement material is obtained by uniformly mixing the thickness-controllable sheet-like FER molecular sieve with solvent, binder, and additives to form a suspension, and then granulating and drying it into spherical particles; the thickness of the FER molecular sieve is 0.2 to 5 μm.
[0033] Preferably, the thickness of the FER molecular sieve is 0.5–2 μm. The acoustic reinforcement materials made from the sheet-like FER molecular sieves prepared in this invention exhibit different properties depending on the thickness of the sheet-like FER molecular sieves, with the thickness of 0.5–2 μm providing the best acoustic performance.
[0034] Preferably, the solvent is deionized water; the binder includes inorganic binders and / or organic binders; wherein the inorganic binder includes one or more of silica sol, alumina sol, water glass, and boehmite; the organic binder includes one or more of acrylate, epoxy, and polyurethane organic binders; and the additives are selected from one or more of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol.
[0035] Preferably, based on the total weight of the suspension obtained after mixing the sheet-like FER molecular sieve, solvent, binder, and auxiliary raw materials as 100%, the amount of the sheet-like FER molecular sieve is 40% to 70%, the amount of the solvent is 20% to 50%, and the amount of the auxiliary is 0.5% to 2.5%; based on the total weight of the sheet-like FER molecular sieve as 100%, the amount of the binder is 4% to 12%.
[0036] The acoustic enhancement material of this invention uses sheet-like FER molecular sieves of varying thicknesses as raw materials, which, after molding, can produce spherical particles. The sheet-like FER molecular sieves have a two-dimensional pore structure; thinner sheets, due to their shorter pore paths, are more advantageous for the adsorption and desorption of gases, but their density is correspondingly lower. As the thickness of the sheet-like FER molecular sieve increases, the density increases, but its gas adsorption and desorption efficiency decreases. By controlling the thickness of the raw material sheet-like FER molecular sieve, an acoustic enhancement material with better acoustic performance can be obtained. The acoustic performance described in this invention is achieved by filling the rear cavity of the acoustic device with the acoustic enhancement material, which is used to absorb sound pressure and release the gas medium contained in a substantially enclosed volume, thereby virtually increasing the resonant space of the gas medium.
[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention include:
[0038] 1) The sheet-like FER molecular sieve synthesized by this invention has a silica-to-alumina ratio range of 60 to 500 and can maintain good crystallinity and purity.
[0039] 2) The sheet-like FER molecular sieve synthesized by this invention can not only achieve controllable thickness size synthesis, but also has a large specific surface area.
[0040] 3) The acoustic enhancement material prepared by this invention can be assembled into the rear cavity of a loudspeaker to significantly improve acoustic performance. Attached Figure Description

[0110] In this embodiment, n-propylamine was used as a growth regulator to synthesize FER molecular sieves.
[0111] Tetraethyl silicate, aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, deionized water, n-propylamine, cyclohexylamine, and potassium fluoride were mixed in the following molar ratio: 1.0SiO2:0.005Al2O3:0.025Na2O:24H2O:0.9n-C3H9N:1.5C6H 13 N and 0.8 KF were thoroughly mixed and stirred to obtain a gel. The gel was transferred to a reaction vessel and subjected to hydrothermal crystallization at 160 °C for 120 h. The product of the hydrothermal crystallization reaction was washed with water, centrifuged, dried at 80 °C for 18 h, and then calcined at 600 °C for 15 h to obtain a sodium-type FER molecular sieve with a silica-to-alumina ratio of 200. Other characterization data are shown in Table 1.
[0112] As shown in Table 1 above, the FER molecular sieve samples of Examples 5-14 of this invention can achieve high crystallinity and specific surface area under high silica-to-alumina ratio synthesis conditions, and their size and thickness are controllable. The specific surface area of the 0.2–2 μm thick FER molecular sieve samples is relatively high, attributed to the fact that FER molecular sieves have a two-dimensional pore structure, resulting in higher micropore volume with a smaller thickness. The specific surface area of the 4–5 μm thick FER molecular sieves is relatively lower, corresponding to a slight decrease in their micropore volume. The controllable thickness of the FER molecular sieves obtained in these embodiments is achieved by adjusting the ratio of growth regulators.

[0116] In this embodiment, tetramethylammonium hydroxide was used as a growth regulator to synthesize FER molecular sieves.
[0117] Fumed silica, sodium aluminate, sodium hydroxide, deionized water, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, pyridine, and sodium fluoride were thoroughly mixed in a molar ratio of 1.0SiO2:0.002Al2O3:0.025Na2O:24H2O:1.5TMA:1.5Py:0.8NaF and stirred until homogeneous to obtain a gel. The gel was transferred to a reaction vessel and subjected to hydrothermal crystallization at 160℃ for 120 h. The product of the hydrothermal crystallization reaction was washed with water, centrifuged, dried at 80℃ for 18 h, and then calcined at 600℃ for 15 h to obtain FER+MFI mixed crystal molecular sieve.
[0118] In addition, the proportions of template agent and growth regulator in the raw materials were changed to prepare the product, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0119] Table 2 shows that adding too much growth regulator can lead to the formation of heterocrystalline phases in the synthesized sample, or even transformation into the quartz phase. Reducing the amount of template agent results in an amorphous sample.

[0122] Performance testing of acoustic reinforcement materials:
[0123] 51.9 g of FER molecular sieve synthesized in Comparative Example 1, Example 1, Example 3, and Example 5 were thoroughly mixed with 12 g of polyurethane suspension with a solid content of 35%, 1 g of polyethylene glycol (200), and 35.1 g of water to obtain 100 g of mixed suspension. After granulation and drying, spherical particles were obtained, and then they were loaded into tooling for acoustic performance testing. The results are shown in Table 3. 61.2 g of FER molecular sieve synthesized in Comparative Example 1, Example 2, Example 4, and Example 6 were thoroughly mixed with 12 g of polyurethane suspension with a solid content of 35%, 1 g of polyethylene glycol (200), and 25.8 g of water to obtain 100 g of mixed suspension. After granulation and drying, spherical particles were obtained, and then they were loaded into tooling for acoustic performance testing. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0124] Table 3. Relevant data for samples of different acoustic enhancement materials
[0125]
[0126] As can be seen from the experimental results in Table 3, the FER molecular sieve synthesized in Comparative Example 1 had a very small thickness and low density because no growth regulator was added. When the proportion of molecular sieve added to the raw material suspension was too high during the granulation process, the pore volume of the granules after drying was small, resulting in poor adsorption and desorption performance of air molecules and poor acoustic performance.
[0127] The 0.5–2 μm thick FER molecular sieves prepared using Examples 1–6 exhibit high micropore volume and density, and the acoustic performance of the granulated acoustic reinforcement material is significantly better than that of the thinner Comparative Example 1. As the thickness of the FER molecular sieve further increases, the micropore volume decreases, resulting in a corresponding reduction in adsorption capacity and acoustic performance. Based on the above data, this invention uses FER molecular sieves with controllable thickness as raw material to prepare acoustic reinforcement materials. Assembling these acoustic reinforcement materials into the rear cavity of a loudspeaker can significantly improve its acoustic performance.
