Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to molecular sieve products, preparation methods and applications, and further to the preparation of beta molecular sieves, the obtained beta molecular sieves and applications of the beta molecular sieves in alkylation reactions and hydrocarbon cracking reactions. Background Art

[0002] β molecular sieve has a three-dimensional twelve-membered ring channel structure and was first synthesized by Mobil Corporation in the United States in 1967 (US3,308,069). Due to its unique topological structure and good thermal and hydrothermal stability, β molecular sieve exhibits excellent catalytic performance in reactions such as hydrocracking, hydroisomerization, hydrocarbon cracking, and alkylation, and has now been industrialized.

[0003] Traditionally, β molecular sieves are synthesized in the presence of organic templates, but their high synthesis cost and pollution during production and post-processing limit their application prospects and scope.

[0004] CN101249968A discloses for the first time a method for synthesizing β molecular sieve without the participation of an organic template agent. The method is to prepare an initial gel by mixing a silicon source, an aluminum source, a sodium source, and water, then add a β molecular sieve seed, and perform a hydrothermal reaction to finally obtain a β molecular sieve product. Since an organic template agent is not added to the synthesis system of the synthesis method, it is difficult to maintain the stability of the reaction system only by the structural guidance of the seed, so the phase region of the synthetic β molecular sieve is very narrow, the actual reaction conditions are difficult to control, and it is easy to produce impure crystals. If you want to achieve an ideal gel state, the preferred silicon source is extremely low-density white carbon black and liquid silicon source silica sol. The problem is that white carbon black has difficulties in storage, transportation, and feeding process in industry, and silica sol also has a low silicon concentration and a shelf life limit. Other silicon sources such as solid silicon sources have the problem of being unable to form a uniform gel. For example, in a static crystallization system, the solid silicon source will quickly sink to the bottom and stratify due to its high degree of polymerization and high density, resulting in a large deviation in the molar concentration of silicon and aluminum in the synthesis system, which leads to the formation of impure crystals uncontrollably.

[0005] Although the synthesis system of β molecular sieve without organic template is an inevitable trend, it has not yet been industrialized. The main reason is that it is impossible to achieve simple operation and stable output under industrial conditions. Therefore, how to improve the stability of the synthesis system and simplify the operation difficulty in the feeding process is of great significance to actual industrial production. Summary of the invention

[0006] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing β molecular sieves which has simple operation steps, good repeatability, stable molecular sieve product performance and is more suitable for actual industrial production in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art methods for synthesizing β molecular sieves without the participation of template agents.

[0009] The method for synthesizing beta molecular sieve without template provided by the present invention is characterized in that one or more silicon-containing compounds capable of reacting with an aluminum source to form a gel are used as a first silicon source, and solid silica gel is used as a second silicon source; after the first silicon source and the aluminum source react under an alkaline state to form a viscous gel, the second silicon source and a seed crystal are added to the viscous gel to form a synthetic mixture, and the synthetic mixture is hydrothermally crystallized to obtain the beta molecular sieve.

[0010] In the method provided by the present invention, the first silicon source and the aluminum source react to form a viscous gel, and the second silicon source solid silica gel and the seed crystal are evenly sealed therein. The second silicon source solid silica gel does not sink to the bottom of the crystallization reactor due to gravity, so that the solid silica gel can also react evenly with the aluminum source to form a gel under static or low stirring rate conditions.

[0011] In the method provided by the present invention, the first silicon source is a silicon-containing compound that can react with the aluminum source to form a gel, such as white carbon black, silica sol or water glass.

[0017] In the method provided by the present invention, the hydrothermal crystallization adopts a high and low two-stage crystallization process, that is, the crystallization is divided into two temperature sections, the first section is a high temperature section, which is conducive to the rapid growth of the molecular sieve, and the second section is a low temperature section, which is conducive to preventing the formation of impurities in the system. Preferably, the first section has a crystallization temperature of 135-150°C and a crystallization time of 15-30h, and the second section has a crystallization temperature of 110-130°C and a crystallization time of 24-48h; more preferably, the first section has a crystallization temperature of 135-145°C and a crystallization time of 20-30h, and the second section has a crystallization temperature of 115-125°C and a time of 30-40h.

[0018] In the method provided by the present invention, the hydrothermal crystallization is preferably static crystallization or dynamic crystallization at a low stirring speed, for example, the hydrothermal crystallization is carried out at a stirring rate of ≤50 rpm / min.

[0019] The present invention also provides a beta molecular sieve obtained by the above method, which can be used in the fields of petrochemical industry, preparation of fine chemicals and environmental catalysis, for example, it can be used in the alkylation reaction of benzene and ethylene and the cracking reaction of hydrocarbons.

[0020] Therefore, the present invention further provides an alkylation reaction method of benzene and ethylene, using the β molecular sieve obtained by the above method as a catalyst; and a phosphorus-modified β molecular sieve and a catalytic cracking method, wherein the phosphorus-modified β molecular sieve is obtained by modifying the β molecular sieve obtained by the above method with phosphorus, and the catalytic cracking method uses the phosphorus-modified β molecular sieve as a catalyst.

[0021] The present invention uses the alkylation reaction of benzene and ethylene and the catalytic cracking reaction of light diesel oil as probe reactions to simply verify the beta molecular sieve. The ammonium-type beta molecular sieve after ammonium exchange is calcined at 550°C for 2-6h, and the alkylation reaction of benzene and ethylene is carried out under the reaction conditions of temperature 160°C, pressure 3.0MPa, benzene-olefin ratio 7.0, mass space velocity 0.8h -1 Under the condition of 100 ℃ and 200 ℃, the ethylene conversion rate is higher than 99%, the ethylbenzene selectivity is higher than 92%, the ethylene conversion rate is about 1.5 percentage points higher than that of commercial β molecular sieve, the ethylbenzene selectivity is about 0.5 percentage points higher, and the ethylation selectivity is also slightly improved.
