Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing ZSM-5 molecular sieves, and more specifically to a method for preparing microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves in one step. Background Technology

[0002] Since its synthesis in the late 1960s, the microporous molecular sieve ZSM-5 has been widely used in various fields such as petrochemicals, modern coal chemicals, fine chemicals, and environmental protection, thanks to its wide range of tunable acid properties and good thermal and hydrothermal stability. With the continuous changes in market demand, traditional microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves, due to the limitation of pore size, have encountered difficulties in processing reactions containing macromolecules. Reactants struggle to diffuse into the pores and contact the active centers, leading to a significant reduction in reaction efficiency. Furthermore, some reaction products cannot escape the pores in time, easily causing secondary reactions. Therefore, in order to further expand the application range of ZSM-5 molecular sieves, researchers have been actively developing technologies to introduce mesopores or macropores into microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves in recent years.

[0003] CN102125868A describes the synthesis of microporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves using an organic template agent, followed by alkali treatment to obtain a micro-mesoporous composite ZSM-5 molecular sieve. This is a conventional method for introducing mesopores into microporous molecular sieves, which can yield a larger mesoporous specific surface area, but it easily damages the microporous structure of the molecular sieve.

[0004] CN103071522A discloses a method for preparing a catalytic cracking catalyst with hierarchical ZSM-5 molecular sieve as the main acidic component. The method uses a combination of dual template agents—microporous template agent tetrapropylammonium hydroxide and mesoporous template agent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide—to crystallize in two steps to obtain hierarchical ZSM-5 molecular sieve with pore size of 0.5-30 nm.

[0005] CN107303498A discloses a low-carbon alkane dehydrogenation catalyst using hierarchical ZSM-5 molecular sieves and alumina as supports. The ZSM-5 molecular sieve with a mesopore size of 4-10 nm is prepared using water glass, dihydroxyethylcyclohexylamine, aluminum sulfate, concentrated sulfuric acid, sodium chloride, and deionized water as raw materials. While the preparation method is simple, it requires a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid, necessitates sophisticated synthesis equipment, and the high cost of the template agent limits its large-scale application.

[0006] CN108975351A discloses a method for synthesizing hierarchically porous ZSM-5 zeolite microspheres with a diameter of 11~15µm in a NaOH-water-ethanol crystallization system using a long-chain alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant as a template agent. Since these microspheres are composed of uniformly sized and morphologically packed nanorods, it is difficult to determine the content of intracrystalline and intercrystalline mesopores, thus affecting in-depth research on their structure-property relationship.

[0007] CN109678174 discloses a hierarchical porous ZSM-5 molecular sieve and its application in the etherification of 2,5-furandiethanol with a monohydric alcohol to prepare 2,5-furandiethanol dimethyl ether. The method involves preparing a dry gel from raw materials containing a silicon source, an aluminum source, a template agent, and an alcohol compound, followed by crystallization in a water-containing reactor to obtain a hierarchical porous ZSM-5 molecular sieve with an average mesopore size of 2-6 nm and a mesopore volume of 0.4-0.6 mL / g. However, this method uses hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, hexadecyltriethoxysilane, and octadecyltrimethoxysilane as silicon sources, which are expensive and not conducive to industrial production.

[0008] The method disclosed in CN108328625 involves first mixing a surfactant, water, inorganic alkali, and aluminum source evenly, then adding a silicon source dropwise, stirring at 70-90°C, adding an organic template agent, and continuing stirring at 70-90°C. The mixture is then hydrothermally crystallized and calcined to prepare a hierarchical porous ZSM-5 molecular sieve. However, because the prepared molecular sieve has a hollow structure, its morphology can be destroyed during subsequent catalyst preparation processes such as mixing and extrusion.

[0009] Therefore, developing a simple and low-cost preparation route for micro-mesoporous composite ZSM-5 molecular sieves to produce micro-mesoporous ZSM-5 molecular sieves with stable mesoporous structure and excellent performance is of great significance to the development of the petrochemical industry. Summary of the Invention

[0010] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing ZSM-5 molecular sieve. The ZSM-5 molecular sieve synthesized by the method has a rich mesoporous structure and good hydrothermal stability. At the same time, the relative content of micropores and mesopore volumes can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0011] A method for preparing ZSM-5 molecular sieve involves mixing a silicon source, an aluminum source, a template agent, and water to form a gel, followed by crystallization, filtration, washing, drying, and calcination to obtain ZSM-5 molecular sieve; wherein the silicon source is amorphous silica treated with alkali.

[0012] In the above method, the molar ratio of silicon source (as SiO2): aluminum source (as Al2O3): template agent: H2O in the gel is 1:(0.003~0.05):(0.05~0.50):(20~60); preferably, the molar ratio of silicon source (as SiO2): aluminum source (as Al2O3): template agent: H2O in the gel is 1:(0.005~0.05):(0.08~0.40):(25~50).

[0013] In the above method, ZSM-5 molecular sieve is obtained by gelling at 150~200 °C, preferably 160~180 °C, crystallizing for 6~36 hours, preferably 8~32 hours, and then filtering, washing, drying and calcining.

[0014] In the above method, the amorphous silica has a specific surface area of ​​600~1300 m². 2 / g, preferably 700~1200m 2 / g; pore volume is 0.6~1.3 cm³ 3 / g, preferably 0.7~1.2 cm 3 / g; pore diameter is 1~15 nm, preferably 2~10 nm.

[0015] The amorphous silica preparation process described above is as follows: a silicon source is added to deionized water and dispersed evenly, then a surfactant is added and stirred; the pH of the solution is adjusted to 1-5, preferably 1.5-4, and then heated in a water bath for a period of time; after filtration, washing, drying, and calcination, amorphous silica is obtained.

[0016] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silica, the silicon source is an inorganic silicon source, preferably one or more of water glass, silica sol, or silica.

[0017] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silica, the surfactant is one or more of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide.

[0018] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silica, the molar ratio of the silicon source (SiO2) to the surfactant is 1:(0.02~0.3), preferably 1:(0.05~0.2).

[0019] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silica, the molar ratio of the silicon source (SiO2) to deionized water is 1:(30~300), preferably 1:(50~220).

[0020] In the above-mentioned preparation process of amorphous silica, the heating temperature is 30~80°C, preferably 40~70°C, and the heating time is 0.5~8 hours, preferably 1~6 hours.

[0021] In the above method, the alkali treatment involves adding the prepared or selected amorphous silica to an alkaline solution and heating and stirring. The alkali treatment uses an inorganic alkali, which is one or more of ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, with ammonia being preferred. The heating and stirring time for the alkali treatment is 0.5–12 hours, preferably 2–8 hours; the heating temperature is 25–60 °C, preferably 30–50 °C. The alkali treatment uses OH... - The molar ratio of inorganic alkali to amorphous silica (based on SiO2) is 0.30 to 1.12, preferably 0.35 to 1.0.

[0022] In this invention, water glass is used as the initial silicon source. With the assistance of a surfactant, mesoporous amorphous silica is prepared. When this silica is used as the silicon source for the subsequent synthesis of ZSM-5 molecular sieves, it possesses a relatively regular mesoporous structure but has not yet highly crystallized into a stable crystalline phase. After further treatment in an alkaline solution for a period of time, some of the -Si-O- bonds open, which facilitates the formation of -Si-O-Al- bonds in the subsequent molecular sieve structure. However, most of the mesoporous structure is retained. Furthermore, under the action of a microporous template agent in a suitable ZSM-5 molecular sieve synthesis system, a microporous structure is generated, and the mesoporous structure further crystallizes and stabilizes, thus obtaining a micro-mesoporous composite ZSM-5 molecular sieve. Moreover, the degree of retention of the mesoporous structure varies with the degree of alkaline treatment of the mesoporous amorphous silica; therefore, the relative content of mesopores and micropores in the resulting composite molecular sieve can be adjusted according to requirements. This method is simple to operate, requires less surfactant and microporous template dosage, has low cost, and produces molecular sieve products with excellent performance, making it a feasible industrial production route.

[0023] In the above method, the drying temperature is 80~120 °C, the drying time is 4~12 hours, the calcination temperature is 500~600 °C, and the calcination time is 2~6 hours.

[0024] A ZSM-5 molecular sieve prepared by the above method, wherein the mesopore volume with a pore size of 2~6nm accounts for 50~92% of the total pore volume of the molecular sieve, preferably 53~90%, and more preferably 55~88%.

[0025] In the above-mentioned molecular sieve, the relative crystallinity of the molecular sieve is 95~115% (measured after drying and calcination at 550℃ for 2 hours), and the relative crystallinity of the molecular sieve after hydrothermal treatment with steam at 600℃ for 2 hours is 95~112%.

[0026] In the aforementioned molecular sieves, the specific surface area is 350~450 m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.31~0.6 cm³ 3 / g, microporous specific surface area is 50~200 m² 2 / g, mesoporous specific surface area is 165~400 m² 2 / g; preferably, the specific surface area is 364~440m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.34~0.57 cm³ 3 / g, with a microporous specific surface area of ​​80~180 m² 2 / g, mesoporous specific surface area is 182~363 m² 2 / g.

[0027] The aforementioned molecular sieves are used in heavy oil catalytic cracking reactions.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a method for preparing and applying ZSM-5 molecular sieves, which has the following advantages:

[0029] The ZSM-5 molecular sieve synthesized by the method of this invention possesses both the acidic properties of a microporous structure that can be tunably modified and the macroporous characteristics of a mesoporous structure. The mesoporous channels are concentrated and their relative content with the micropores can be controlled. At the same time, it has high crystallinity, strong thermal stability and hydrothermal stability, making it an excellent adsorbent or catalyst material with broader application prospects in the field of shape-selective catalysis. Furthermore, it further enhances the application performance of ZSM-5 molecular sieve in petrochemical, fine chemical, environmental protection, electrochemistry and other fields.

[0031] Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the physical adsorption of nitrogen in the synthesized product of Example 1 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0032] The analytical methods of this invention are as follows: specific surface area and pore volume were determined by nitrogen physical adsorption, and the relative crystallinity of the molecular sieve was determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Specifically, the sum of the heights of five diffraction peaks at 2θ values ​​of ~8.0°, 8.9°, 23.4°, 23.8°, and 24.1° in the XRD pattern of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve synthesized in Comparative Example 1 was taken as 100% crystallinity, and the relative crystallinity of other samples was obtained by comparison with this sum.
