Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of waste biomass resource utilization, and specifically relates to a method for solid-phase synthesis of molecular sieves using rice hulls as a silicon source and template. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to the grain yield data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total yield of rice in China in 2023 reached 206.6 million tons. As one of the main agricultural by-products of processing rice, rice hulls account for about 20% of the total mass of rice, approximately 41.32 million tons. Traditionally, rice hulls, as agricultural waste, are often directly burned or discarded, which has a serious impact on the environment. However, with increasing emphasis on sustainable development and resource recycling, the rational resource utilization of rice hulls has been given new value. Studies have shown that the silicon content in rice hulls products after high-temperature roasting can reach more than 90%, which makes silicon-rich rice hulls have potential application value in the preparation of molecular sieve materials.

[0003] Molecular sieves have been widely used in catalytic pyrolysis reaction research due to their excellent thermal stability, suitable acid properties, and unique pore structure. However, the traditional hydrothermal method for preparing molecular sieves produces a large amount of wastewater, which not only pollutes the environment but also increases production costs. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a simple and environmentally friendly molecular sieve preparation technology.

[0004] CN 105731485A discloses a method for preparing a hierarchical pore zeolite molecular sieve by using rice husk. The synthesis process needs to consume a large amount of water, and the specific synthesis steps are as follows: 30-35 parts of rice husk, 5-8 parts of NaAlO2, 45-55 parts of deionized water, 3-5 parts of NaOH and 0.5-0.8 parts of TPAOH are selected by weight fraction, uniformly mixed and stirred, then added into a stainless steel reaction kettle, heated to 150-160℃, taken out after 20-30h of reaction, centrifuged to obtain a precipitate, washed with deionized water for 2-4 times, and then dried in an oven at 80-100℃. After drying, the precipitate is placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at 500-600℃ for 4-6h, and then the obtained crystal is taken out after cooling. Then, 5-7g of NaAlO2 and 20-25g of NaOH are dissolved in 600-650mL of distilled water, stirred until the solid is completely dissolved, then 50-60g of white carbon black is added, and stirred and mixed for 2-3h to form a gel. 3-5% of the above crystal is added to the gel as a seed crystal, and after stirring and dispersing uniformly, the mixed gel is added to a stainless steel reaction kettle, and crystallized at 130-140℃ for 50-80h. After the crystallization is completed, the product is repeatedly washed with deionized water until the filtrate is neutral, and then the washed product is placed in an oven at 100-120℃ for 6-8h to dry, and a hierarchical pore zeolite molecular sieve is obtained. Although the above prior art successfully prepares a molecular sieve by using rice husk, the preparation process is complex and a large amount of wastewater is generated. SUMMARY
