Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the preparation of molecular sieve materials, specifically to a dual-template method for preparing a highly crystalline AlPO-18 molecular sieve and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] AlPO-18 molecular sieve with an AEI topology is a typical aluminum phosphate molecular sieve. AlPO-18 molecular sieve has eight-membered ring channels that are vertically interconnected along the x, y, and z axes, with a pore size of 0.38 nm × 0.38 nm. Due to its unique channel structure (size, dimensions, etc.), it is widely used in industrial fields, playing a crucial role in the adsorption and separation of gases such as CO2, N2, H2, CH4, and C2H6.

[0003] The literature [Anbealagan LD, Chew TL, Yeong YF, et al. Synthesis and characterization of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) functionalized zeolite AlPO-18[J]. IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021, 1195(1): 012047] synthesized an irregularly shaped plate-like AlPO-18 molecular sieve by static crystallization at 150℃ for 20 h with a gel ratio of 1.0Al2O3:3.16P2O5:6.32TEAOH:186H2O.

[0004] The literature [Su J, Zhou H, Liu S, et al. Syngas to light olefins conversion with high olefin / paraffin ratio using ZnCrOx / AlPO-18 bifunctional catalysts[J]. Nature Communications, 2019, 10(1): 1297.] describes the preparation of AlPO-18 molecular sieves by hydrothermal synthesis with a gel ratio of 1Al2O3:1P2O5:0.67(TEA)2O:0.33HCl:40H2O and a crystallization temperature of 170℃ for 3 days of static crystallization.

[0005] Chinese patent (CN 109806729 A) discloses a method for preparing AlPO-18 molecular sieve membranes using N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a template agent.

[0006] Chinese patent (CN 109354035 B) discloses a method for synthesizing AlPO-18 molecular sieves using N,N-diisopropylethylamine and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as mixed template agents, aluminum isopropoxide as the aluminum source, and phosphoric acid as the phosphorus source.

[0007] The commonly used template agents in the synthesis of AlPO-18 are tetraethylammonium hydroxide and N,N-diisopropylethylamine. However, the use of the expensive template agent TEAOH results in drawbacks such as high synthesis cost and low crystallinity.

[0008] Currently, although pure-phase AlPO-18 can be synthesized, the content of the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide is high, and the synthesized AlPO-18 has relatively low crystallinity.

[0009] Based on this, this patent, by introducing the template agent tetraethylammonium chloride (TEACl), synthesizes AlPO-18, which not only effectively reduces the content of the template agent compared to that in the literature, but also greatly improves its relative crystallinity. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-template method for preparing highly crystallinity AlPO-18 molecular sieves, thereby solving the problems of low crystallinity and high production costs in the synthesis of AlPO-18 molecular sieves.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] A method for preparing highly crystalline AlPO-18 molecular sieve using a dual-template method is characterized by the following steps: placing a phosphorus source, deionized water, an aluminum source, a template agent, and seed crystals in a hydrothermal reactor in sequence and stirring until homogeneous; aging the mixture at room temperature for a certain period of time; sealing the hydrothermal reactor and placing it in a reactor for static crystallization at high temperature; washing, drying, and calcining the hydrothermal crystallization product to obtain a highly crystalline tetrahedral AlPO-18 molecular sieve.

[0013] The molar ratio of phosphorus source, aluminum source, primary template agent one (TEAOH), secondary template agent two (TEACl), and water is 0.7–1:1:0.938–1.34:1.34–2.34:40–45; wherein, the phosphorus source, aluminum source, and template agent are selected according to the ratio of P2O5, Al2O3, and TEA. + count;

[0014] The phosphorus source is an 80%–90% phosphoric acid solution.

[0015] The aluminum source is either boehmite or liquid sodium.

[0016] The seed crystals are self-made, and their specific preparation method is as follows: phosphorus source, water, aluminum source, hydrochloric acid, and template agent are placed in a hydrothermal reactor in sequence and stirred evenly. After aging at room temperature for a certain period of time, the hydrothermal reactor is sealed and placed in a reactor for static crystallization at 150-180℃. After washing and drying the hydrothermal crystallization product, AlPO-18 molecular sieve seed crystals can be obtained. The amount of seed crystals added is 5% of the mass fraction of aluminum oxide in the raw material aluminum source.

[0017] The aging time is 8 to 16 hours.

[0018] The crystallization temperature is 150–180℃, and the crystallization time is 60–80 h.

[0019] The roasting temperature is 450–600℃, and the roasting time is 4–12 hours.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This invention uses tetraethylammonium hydroxide and tetraethylammonium chloride as template agents. Some of the expensive tetraethylammonium hydroxide template agent is replaced by tetraethylammonium chloride, which greatly reduces the production cost and provides certain conditions for subsequent industrial production, thereby solving the problem of high production cost in the synthesis of AlPO-18 molecular sieve.

[0022] 2. The AlPO-18 molecular sieve synthesized in this invention has a relatively regular quadrilateral thin-plate morphology and a crystallinity 1.5 times that of the single-template method. Compared with other AlPO-18 molecular sieves, it has a more regular morphology and a higher relative crystallinity, effectively solving the problem of low crystallinity in the current industrial production of AlPO-18 molecular sieves.

[0023] 3. The synthesis method of AlPO-18 molecular sieve of the present invention is simple to operate, low in cost, and has relatively high crystallinity, and has broad prospects for industrial production and application. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments, in order to better understand the content of the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] 4.57 g of distilled water, 7.89 g of boehmite, and 11.84 g of phosphoric acid were added to a 100 ml hydrothermal reactor and stirred until homogeneous. While stirring, 0.4 g of 37.5% hydrochloric acid and 40.54 g of 25% tetraethylammonium hydroxide were added sequentially. The mixture was aged at room temperature for 4 hours, then sealed and placed in a static reactor. Static hydrothermal crystallization was carried out at 170℃ for 72 hours. The hydrothermal crystallization product was washed, dried, and calcined at 550℃ for 4 hours to synthesize highly crystalline pure-phase AlPO-18 molecular sieve seed crystals. The XRD and SEM images of the sample are shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the obtained molecular sieve exhibits characteristic peaks of the AEI structure at approximately 2θ values ​​of 9.6°, 12.8°, 16.8°, 21°, and 23.6°, indicating the synthesis of a pure-phase AlPO-18 molecular sieve with a relative crystallinity of 100%. Its morphology consists of small hexagonal crystals with relatively uniform dispersion.

[0062] Example 2:

[0063] 13.93 g of distilled water, 7.89 g of boehmite, and 11.84 g of phosphoric acid were added to a 100 ml hydrothermal reactor and stirred until homogeneous. While stirring, 28.38 g of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (25% by mass) was slowly added, and stirring continued until homogeneous. Then, 11.4 g of tetraethylammonium chloride and 0.26 g of AlPO-18 seed crystals prepared in Example 1 were added. The mixture was aged at room temperature for 8 hours, then sealed and placed in a static reactor. Static hydrothermal crystallization was performed at 170 °C for 72 hours. The hydrothermal crystallization product was washed, dried, and calcined at 550 °C for 5 hours to synthesize a highly crystalline pure-phase AlPO-18 molecular sieve.
