Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional nanomaterials, and more particularly to a Silicalite-1 molecular sieve and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silicalite-1 was first successfully synthesized by EMFlanigen et al. of UCC in 1987 (Nature, 1978, 271 (5645): 512 5160). It is an all-silicon molecular sieve with MFI structure. Silicalite-1 has good hydrothermal stability, lipophilicity and hydrophobicity, and unique two-dimensional cross-ten-membered ring channels (straight channels with pore sizes of 0.51×0.55nm and sinusoidal channels with pore sizes of 0.54×0.56nm respectively). Its skeleton does not contain aluminum atoms and has weak acidic sites. Based on the above characteristics, Silicalite-1 has been widely used in the oxidation reaction of hydrocarbons below C6, catalytic cyclohexanone oxime Beckmann rearrangement reaction, gas separation, ethanol / water separation and other fields. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to seek a low-cost, simple to operate and environmentally friendly method for preparing Silicalite-1.

[0003] At present, most of the Silicalite-1 synthesis methods are hydrothermal methods, and the initial gel ratio is: SiO2: TPA: OH - :H2O=1:0.2:0.2:50(Microporous Mesoporous Mater,2012,155:56-64.),This method usually uses a large amount of water as a solvent, which will undoubtedly cause a large amount of wastewater discharge. Therefore, minimizing the amount of water added during the synthesis process has a positive significance for saving resources and reducing wastewater discharge. In addition, the steps for synthesizing the molecular sieve are cumbersome, and a large amount of expensive organic template agent tetrapropylammonium hydroxide and raw materials are required. The above multiple reasons limit its application in industry.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN108002396A discloses a method for preparing Silicalite-1 molecular sieve using tetrapropylammonium bromide as a template. Compared with tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium bromide has the advantages of being cheap and readily available. However, this method requires first making homemade seed crystals, and then using the homemade seed crystals to assist in the synthesis of Silicalite-1. The steps are cumbersome and complicated, and the preparation cycle is long. In addition, the relative amount of water used in this method is SiO2:H2O=80:1000-2000, and a lot of wastewater will be generated during the preparation process. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a Silicalite-1 molecular sieve and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0006] The preparation method of the Silicalite-1 molecular sieve of the present invention does not require the addition of additional water, is simple to operate, has a short preparation cycle, and uses relatively cheap tetrapropylammonium bromide as a template agent.

[0007] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a Silicalite-1 molecular sieve.

[0008] The Silicalite-1 molecular sieve is prepared from raw materials including tetrapropylammonium bromide and a silicon source aqueous solution, and optionally, also includes an alkaline reagent; wherein SiO2, tetrapropylammonium bromide, OH - The molar ratio of H2O is 1:(0.06~5):(0~1):(1~200).

[0009] The Silicalite-1 molecular sieve of the present invention is a molecular sieve with an MFI structure, which is the same as the ZSM-5 structure, and both are MFI topological structures. The synthesis of molecular sieves often requires a lot of water as a solution, and the use of water can be greatly reduced by adopting a grinding method. The ratio between the various raw materials in the grinding method is different from that of the traditional hydrothermal method, and only a small amount of water is used during synthesis. At the same time, due to the small amount of water used, subsequent water treatment and other problems are avoided. There is no need to separate liquid or treat waste liquid after the reaction.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0011] The alkaline agent is at least one of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, including but not limited to the above alkaline agents; in the reaction, Silicalite-1 molecular sieves with different crystallinity and different morphologies can be obtained by controlling the amount of alkaline agent added.

[0012] The silicon source aqueous solution is a mixture of a silicon source and water, preferably at least one of a mixed solution of silicon dioxide and water, silica sol, and a sodium silicate aqueous solution, including but not limited to the above silicon source aqueous solutions.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0014] The silica sol is preferably alkaline silica sol, which is a colloidal solution of silica particles of varying sizes in water, with a pH value of 8 to 11 and a silica content of 15 to 40 wt%. The alkaline silica sol itself is alkaline, which can reduce or avoid the addition of alkaline reagents. At the same time, the solvent in the silica sol is used as a solvent in the raw material mixing process, which not only avoids the addition of additional solvents, but also can mix the raw materials evenly and react fully with grinding, and finally obtains Silicalite-1 molecular sieves of uniform size.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0016] In the mixed raw materials, SiO2, tetrapropylammonium bromide, OH - The molar ratio of H2O is 1:(0.06~0.24):(2×10 -5 ~0.32):(5~19), preferably 1:(0.1~0.15):(2×10 -5 ~0.16):(7~8).

[0017] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing Silicalite-1 molecular sieve, comprising the following steps:

[0018] (1) grinding tetrapropylammonium bromide into powder, optionally grinding it together with an alkaline agent into powder, then adding a silicon source aqueous solution, continuing to grind so that all the raw materials are evenly mixed and fully reacted before crystallization, and separating to obtain a solid product;

[0019] (2) Drying and calcining the solid product obtained in step (1) to obtain Silicalite-1 molecular sieve.

[0020] In the absence of solvent, tetrapropylammonium bromide is firstly mixed alone or with an alkaline agent and then ground, and the raw material is fully ground until the granular state is converted into a fine and uniform powder. A silicon source aqueous solution is added to the reaction system, and the grinding is continued to make all the raw materials uniformly mixed and fully reacted. After the reaction system is in the state of a white lotion, it is put into a kettle for crystallization. After the crystallization is completed, a solid product is obtained by centrifugation or the like, and after drying, it is roasted to remove the template agent and other substances to obtain the Silicalite-1 molecular sieve.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0022] In step (1),

[0023] The grinding time of tetrapropylammonium bromide and alkaline reagent is 5 to 60 minutes, preferably 5 to 10 minutes;

[0024] After adding the silicon source aqueous solution, the grinding time is 5 to 60 minutes, preferably 5 to 10 minutes;

[0025] The crystallization is carried out in an autoclave, preferably in a stainless steel hydrothermal autoclave lined with polytetrafluoroethylene;

[0026] The crystallization temperature is 140 to 220°C, preferably 160 to 180°C;

[0027] The crystallization time is 24 to 200 hours, preferably 24 to 48 hours;

[0028] The separation method is centrifugal washing.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0030] In step (2),

[0031] Drying can be carried out by a common drying method in the art. Preferably, the drying temperature is 80 to 120° C. and the drying time is 2 to 8 hours.

[0032] The calcination temperature is 550-650°C, and the calcination time is 4-6 hours.

[0033] The third object of the present invention is to provide a Silicalite-1 molecular sieve obtained by the above preparation method.

[0034] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an application of Silicalite-1 molecular sieve in a catalytic reaction, preferably in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to ethanol.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] (1) The initial gel is prepared by a simple grinding method, and the synthesis cycle is short;

[0037] (2) No additional water is required to be added to the reaction system, and the preparation process produces less wastewater, which is environmentally friendly;

[0038] (3) Using relatively cheap template agent tetrapropylammonium bromide and silicon source alkaline silica sol to save costs. Using alkaline silica sol as the silicon source is low in price and has little pollution to the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
