Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve preparation, specifically to a pure silicon AlPO-16 molecular sieve and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Octadecasil, a pure silicon AlPO-16 molecular sieve, was initially synthesized hydrothermally in a fluoride medium by Caullet using tetramethyl quaternary ammonium or quinine as structure directing agents and fumed silica as the silicon source. The required pH for synthesis was 6–9, and the crystallization temperature was 443 K (P. Caullet, J. L. Guth, J. Hazm, J. M. L. Amblin, H. Gies, Eur. J. Solid State Inorg. Chem. 28 (1991) 345.). Octadecasil is an isomorphous molecular sieve of AlPO-16, and the International Molecular Sieve Association has given Octadecasil the structural code AST. The topological structure of Octadecasil consists of rhombic dodecahedrons [4]. 6 6 12 The cage is constructed using a hexahedral cage [4]. 6 The molecular sieve is formed by the stacking of interconnected rings, and the hexahedral cage is usually called a double four-membered ring (D4R). Octadecasil belongs to the cage-like silicon family. Its large cage-like space can only be entered through small rings (not larger than a six-membered ring with a shared angle of silicon-oxygen tetrahedron), and cannot enter the internal voids of the molecular sieve through windows of rings not smaller than an eight-membered ring.
[0003] Since its discovery, Octadecasil has been the subject of limited research, particularly regarding its structure-directing agents. The structure-directing agents used by scientists in its synthesis are mostly tetramethylammonium cations (TMA). +Luis A et al. synthesized Octadecasil using n-butyltrimethylammonium hydroxide as a structure-directing agent (LA Villaescusa, PA Barrett, MA Amblor, Chem. Mater. 1998, 1012, 3966-3973). Javier et al. also synthesized Octadecasil using n-butyltrimethylammonium hydroxide as a structure-directing agent. An aluminum source was added to the synthesis system, resulting in an Octadecasil with a Si / Al ratio of 30. Desilication yielded Octadecasil nanocrystals, which were then applied to the cracking of high-density polyethylene, showing good catalytic performance (Javier Perez-Ramrez, Sonia Abello, Luis A. Villaescusa, and Adriana Bonilla, Angew. Chem. 2008, 120, 8031-8035).
[0004] Developing novel structure-directing agents to guide the synthesis of pure silicon AlPO-16 molecular sieves is of great practical significance for understanding the synthetic mechanism of Octadecasil and expanding its synthetic routes. Summary of the Invention
