Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve catalyst technology, specifically a highly crystalline FER molecular sieve, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Molecular sieves are mesoporous zeolites with a two-dimensional pore structure. Within the FER zeolite framework, a 10-membered ring straight channel (0.42 × 0.54 nm) parallel to the

[001] direction intersects with an 8-membered ring straight channel (0.35 × 0.48 nm) parallel to the

[010] direction, forming a two-dimensional cross-channel system. A 6-membered ring channel parallel to the 10-membered ring intersects with the 8-membered ring channel, forming an elliptical "magnesium-alkali zeolite cage." Due to its unique pore structure and good hydrothermal and chemical stability, magnesium-alkali zeolite is widely used in the petrochemical industry for olefin isomerization, olefin oligomerization, and aromatic alkylation. Especially in the isomerization reaction of normal olefin skeletons, it exhibits good selectivity and stability for isomeric olefins and has been widely applied in the refining and chemical industries.

[0003] Currently, the oil refining and chemical industry uses a large amount of FER molecular sieve catalysts annually, while also generating a significant amount of spent FER molecular sieve catalysts. These spent catalysts primarily consist of FER molecular sieves, but also contain a certain amount of alumina and organic matter deposited in the catalyst pores. Currently, most of these spent molecular sieve catalysts are treated as industrial solid waste, with a small portion used as additives in building materials. There are currently no literature reports on using spent FER molecular sieve catalysts as raw materials for the synthesis of FER molecular sieves.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN110526260B discloses a method for synthesizing FER molecular sieves using natural silica-alumina minerals activated by alkali treatment as seed crystals. The method specifically includes the following steps: (1) Activating natural silica-alumina mineral raw materials under the action of an alkali source to prepare activated seed crystals; (2) Mixing an alkali source aqueous solution with an aluminum source until clear and transparent, adding silica sol dropwise and maintaining stirring to prepare a reactant gel, and controlling the elemental composition therein to conform to the composition of the target molecular sieve product; (3) Adding 5% to 8% of the activated seed crystals by mass of the added silica to the reactant gel to prepare a reactant precursor; (4) Placing the reactant precursor in a reaction vessel for crystallization at a crystallization temperature of 150°C to 190°C and a crystallization time of 36h to 72h; (5) Filtering and washing the crystallized product until it is basically neutral, and drying the product to obtain an FER molecular sieve with a crystallinity of 90% to 102%.

[0005] The aforementioned invention patent provides a method for preparing FER molecular sieves. However, this method uses pretreated natural silica-alumina minerals as seed crystals and does not use waste FER molecular sieve catalysts as raw materials. As a result, the production cost is high and the waste FER molecular sieve catalysts cannot be utilized as resources. Summary of the Invention
