Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a method for synthesizing large-particle-size beta molecular sieves. Background Technology

[0002] Beta molecular sieves were first synthesized by Mobil in 1967 (US3,308,069) and possess a three-dimensional twelve-membered ring channel structure. Due to their unique topology and good thermal and hydrothermal stability, these molecular sieves exhibit excellent catalytic performance in reactions such as hydrocracking, hydroisomerization, hydrocarbon cracking, and alkylation, and are now in industrial production.

[0003] Beta molecular sieves can increase the yield of C4 and gasoline components in catalytic cracking reactions, but their thermal / hydrothermal stability is worse than that of ZSM-5 molecular sieves, and they are prone to rapid deactivation during the reaction, which restricts their application. It is generally believed that molecular sieves with larger crystal sizes are beneficial to enhancing their thermal / hydrothermal stability, and increasing the particle size of beta molecular sieves is also one of the methods to improve their hydrothermal stability. YJ Lee et al. (Journal of crystal growth, 2006, 297(1):138-145) synthesized beta molecular sieves with a silicon-to-aluminum ratio of about 50 in the system using tetraethylammonium bromide as a template agent. The crystal size can reach 1 μm, but the amount of template agent used is high (TEABr / SiO2=0.72), and the bromine-containing wastewater generated by the synthesis is difficult to treat, causing significant environmental pollution and making it unsuitable for industrial production. CN102923728 proposes a method for synthesizing large-grained β-zeolites, using precipitated silicon and pseudoboehmite as silicon and aluminum sources, respectively, adding tetraethylammonium hydroxide as a template agent, and tertiary alcoholamine as a chelating agent. The synthesized β-zeolite grain size can reach 0.1 to 3 μm. However, this method has high requirements for the silicon source, and the amount of template agent used is also too high (TEAOH / SiO2 = 0.30), and seed crystals need to be added during the synthesis process.

[0004] In recent years, some studies have attempted to introduce additives into the beta zeolite synthesis system to control the zeolite size. CN112939008A proposes introducing imidazole compounds into the beta zeolite synthesis system, achieving the goal of freely controlling the crystal size. However, this method has the drawback of requiring the addition of large amounts of imidazole compounds to increase the crystal size, significantly increasing the synthesis cost. Subsequent recovery and waste treatment are also troublesome, making it unsuitable for industrial operation. CN108298552A proposes introducing one or more of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, or methyl ethyl carbonate into the beta zeolite synthesis system to increase the particle size of the beta zeolite. In practice, the gel needs to be pre-crystallized under negative pressure, making the method cumbersome, demanding, and unsuitable for industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method for synthesizing beta molecular sieves that can increase the particle size of beta molecular sieves.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, this disclosed method, without changing the original raw materials and proportions for beta molecular sieve synthesis, adds additives to the synthesis system, thereby increasing the particle size of the synthesized beta molecular sieve. This disclosed method has simple synthesis steps, is easy to industrialize, and produces samples with good crystallinity, meeting the requirements of different reactions for different particle sizes, thus expanding the application range of beta molecular sieves.

[0031] This disclosure provides a method for synthesizing large-particle-size beta molecular sieves, the method comprising:

[0032] An organic template agent, a silicon source, an aluminum source, water, an optional alkali source, and an additive are mixed and then crystallized to obtain a beta molecular sieve. The additive is an organic compound containing ether bonds and hydroxyl groups, and the molar ratio of the additive to the silicon source is (0.03-0.5):1, wherein the silicon source is SiO2.

[0033] This disclosure provides a method to increase the crystal size of beta molecular sieves based on existing industrial synthesis technology, thereby meeting the requirements of different reactions for different particle sizes and expanding the application range of beta molecular sieves.

[0034] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that adding organic compounds containing ether bonds and hydroxyl groups as additives to the synthesis system of beta molecular sieves can effectively increase the crystal size of beta molecular sieves. This method is low-cost, simple in process, and easy to industrialize.

Using this additive ratio in the synthesis of beta molecular sieves is beneficial for further optimizing the grain size and crystallinity of the product.

[0037] In this method, the alkali source, organic template agent, silicon source, aluminum source, water, and additives can be mixed uniformly using conventional methods, and then the resulting mixture is subjected to crystallization. In a preferred embodiment of this disclosure, the method may further include mixing the alkali source, aluminum source, organic template agent, and water first, then adding the additives and silicon source, and then performing crystallization. By adjusting the order of adding the raw materials, it is beneficial to further optimize the grain size and crystallinity of the product.

[0038] In the synthesis system, the amounts of each raw material, except for the additives, can be the common proportions used in the synthesis of beta molecular sieves.

[0039] According to this disclosure, the organic template agent can be any organic template agent commonly used in the synthesis of beta molecular sieves that is well known to those skilled in the art. Preferably, the organic template agent is one or more selected from tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium chloride, tetraethylammonium bromide, tetraethylammonium iodide, and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

[0040] The silicon source can be any silicon source commonly used in the synthesis of beta molecular sieves that is well known to those skilled in the art, and this disclosure does not impose any particular limitations on it. Preferably, the silicon source is silica gel and / or aluminosilicate gel, and the particle size of the silica gel and / or aluminosilicate gel is not particularly limited, for example, 150-250 μm.

[0041] The aluminum source can be any substance commonly used in the art that provides aluminum. Preferably, the aluminum source is one or more selected from hydrated alumina, sodium aluminate, aluminum hydroxide, and aluminosilicate gel. The hydrated alumina is alumina containing water of crystallization, such as boehmite, diaspore, gibbsite, boehmite, and pseudoboehmite. The particle size of the aluminosilicate gel is not particularly limited, for example, it can be 150–250 μm.

[0042] The alkali source can be any inorganic alkaline substance commonly used in the art, and its type is not particularly limited. Preferably, the alkali source is sodium hydroxide and / or potassium hydroxide.

[0043] The water can be the water commonly used in the synthesis of molecular sieves. In order to avoid the introduction of heteroatoms, deionized water is preferred in this disclosure.

[0044] According to this disclosure, the crystallization conditions can be the common crystallization conditions for synthesizing beta molecular sieves. In one specific embodiment of this disclosure, the crystallization conditions may include: carrying out the crystallization in a closed container at a temperature of 120–160°C for 36–84 hours. Preferred crystallization conditions involve a two-stage crystallization process: a first stage at 120–130°C for 12–24 hours, and a second stage at 140–155°C for 40–60 hours.

[0045] After crystallization is completed, beta molecular sieves can be recovered using common methods in the art. For example, the crystallized product can be washed with water, filtered, and dried to obtain beta molecular sieves. The drying conditions can be, for example, a temperature of 70–100°C and a time of 12–24 hours.

[0046] Compared with traditional beta molecular sieve synthesis technology, the beta molecular sieve synthesized by the present disclosure has a larger crystal size, for example, the average particle size can be 150 nm to 2 μm. Compared with the synthesis method without additives, the crystal size of beta molecular sieve can be increased by more than 25%.
