Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of molecular sieves, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieves by one-step hydrothermal in-situ doping of a copper source without seed assistance. Background Art

[0002] As one of the main air pollutants, nitrogen oxides (NOx) are important precursors of acid rain, photochemical smog and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), seriously threatening the ecological environment and human health. To effectively control NOx emissions, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology has become the mainstream solution in the global industrial and mobile source denitrification fields due to its high efficiency and maturity. The core of the SCR technology is that through the action of a catalyst, within a specific temperature window, the reducing agent (such as ammonia or urea) selectively reacts with NOx in the flue gas to generate harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O). The denitrification efficiency of this technology can reach more than 90%, and it is applicable to complex working conditions with high concentrations of NOx. It is currently the only large-scale denitrification method that can meet strict emission standards (such as National VI and Euro VI). Compared with technologies such as Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) and adsorption methods, the core advantages of SCR are: ① High efficiency: The catalyst significantly reduces the reaction activation energy, achieving high-efficiency denitrification in a wide temperature window from low temperature to high temperature (150 - 450 °C); ② Precision: By catalyst design, side reactions (such as SO2 oxidation) are selectively inhibited, reducing secondary pollution; ③ Adaptability: It can match various emission sources such as coal-fired power plants, boilers, and diesel vehicles, and has strong technical versatility.

[0003] The NH3-SCR technology usually uses V2O5-WO3 / TiO2 as a catalyst, but it has problems such as poor low-temperature activity, a narrow active temperature window range, and the toxicity of the active component V2O5, and has been gradually phased out in European and American countries. Molecular sieve-based SCR catalysts have advantages such as high catalytic activity, strong water and sulfur resistance, good thermal stability, and a wide reaction temperature range, and are considered to be the most promising SCR catalysts in terms of development research significance and practical application value.

[0004] The SUZ-4 molecular sieve belongs to the SZR type of silicoaluminate molecular sieve. Its crystal structure belongs to the orthorhombic system (space group Cmmm), and the unit cell parameters are: a≈18.8064 Å, b≈14.2298 Å, c≈7.4548 Å, α = β = γ = 90.00°. Its framework is formed by connecting [SiO4] and [AlO4] tetrahedra through oxygen bridges, constructing a three-dimensional cross-channel system: the main channel along the

[001] direction is a ten-membered ring with a pore size of 5.2 Å×4.1 Å, providing an efficient mass transfer channel; the secondary channels along the

[010] and

[110] directions are eight-membered rings with pore sizes of 4.8 Å×3.2 Å and 4.8 Å×3.0 Å respectively, enhancing the shape selectivity of the molecular sieve. This microporous structure endows the SUZ-4 molecular sieve with a high specific surface area (>400 m² / g), adjustable acidic sites, and excellent ion exchange ability. In addition, the flexible coordination characteristics of the Si-O-Al bonds in its framework provide a structural basis for the uniform doping of transition metals (such as Cu, Fe), enabling it to exhibit significant application potential in fields such as selective catalytic reduction of denitrification, conversion of light alkanes, and gas adsorption and separation.

[0005] In recent years, the following key progress has been reflected in the patented technologies related to the synthesis of metal-containing SUZ-4 molecular sieves: Patent CN116273148B synthesized potassium-type K-SUZ-4 molecular sieve by a one-step hydrothermal method, and then treated the K-SUZ-4 molecular sieve with an ammonium salt solution to obtain hydrogen-type H-SUZ-4 molecular sieve. Finally, a metal salt solution was used to treat the H-SUZ-4 molecular sieve to obtain a metal-containing heteroatom molecular sieve M-SUZ-4. This molecular sieve can simultaneously increase the Brønsted acid and the Lewis acid formed around the metal, effectively improving the catalytic performance of the SUZ-4 molecular sieve for dimethyl ether carbonylation. Patent CN109174172A proposed to synthesize a heteroatom-containing SUZ-4 molecular sieve by a one-step heating method using the dry gel method on the premise of adding SUZ-4 seeds. This catalyst has excellent low-temperature NH3-SCR catalytic performance, but the seeds need to be prepared in advance. Patent CN109289908A proposed that on the basis of the synthesis of the SUZ-4 molecular sieve, a phosphorus-nickel modified SUZ-4 molecular sieve was obtained by the equal-volume impregnation method using a phosphorus source and a nickel source, and then metal elements were loaded on this carrier by the impregnation method to obtain a metal-containing SUZ-4 molecular sieve. Patent US06645448B2 proposed that on the basis of the synthesis of the SUZ-4 molecular sieve, a metal-containing SUZ-4 molecular sieve was further obtained by the ion exchange method.

[0006] The innovation of the Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve disclosed in this patent lies in: directly synthesizing the target product by in-situ doping of copper source using a one-step hydrothermal method, without the assistance of seeds or stepwise treatment. Compared with the traditional stepwise method that requires prior synthesis of the SUZ-4 support followed by copper loading or copper exchange, and the synthesis method relying on seed assistance, the present invention simplifies the process flow, synchronously eliminates redundant steps such as seed preparation and copper ion exchange, significantly reduces equipment investment and energy consumption, shortens the production cycle, and provides an efficient and low-cost solution for the functional modification of molecular sieves and industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the bottleneck problems such as strong seed dependence and complex stepwise operation in the traditional synthesis process of Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieves, the present invention proposes a one-step hydrothermal in-situ copper doping technology to achieve the efficient synthesis of Cu-SUZ-4 through the synchronous construction of copper source and molecular sieve framework under the condition of no seed assistance.

[0008] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Step 1: Drop water, aluminum source and mineralizer into a polytetrafluoroethylene inner liner.

[0010] Step 2: Slowly drop the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide into the solution in Step 1, stir evenly to form a mixed solution.

[0011] Step 3: Add a silicon source to the solution in Step 2 and stir evenly.

[0012] Step 4: Add a copper source to the solution in Step 3, stir evenly to form a mixed solution, and age.

[0013] Step 5: Place the polytetrafluoroethylene inner liner containing the above mixed solution in a stainless steel autoclave, seal it and then place it in a crystallization reactor for crystallization heating.

[0014] Step 6: After the crystallization is completed, cool the stainless steel autoclave to room temperature, wash the crystallization product with deionized water, separate the solid and liquid to obtain a solid product, and place it in an oven for drying to obtain a Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve precursor.

[0015] Step 7: Calcinate the Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve precursor in a heating furnace to obtain a Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve.

[0016] Step 8: Perform ammonium exchange on the Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve and further calcine it to obtain a hydrogen-type Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve.

[0017] Step 9: Press and granulate the molecular sieve obtained in Step 8, and evaluate its catalytic performance in the NH3-SCR reaction using a catalytic reaction test device.

[0018] Further, in step 1, the silicon source is calculated as SiO2, the aluminum source is calculated as Al2O3, the copper source is calculated as Cu, the mineralizer is calculated as OH - calculated, tetraethylammonium hydroxide is calculated as TEA + calculated, and water is calculated as H2O. A gel is synthesized at a molar ratio of SiO2 / Al2O3 = 5 to 80, Cu / Al2O3 = 0 to 5, KOH / Al2O3 = 1 to 20, TEA + / Al2O3 = 1 to 10, and H2O / Al2O3 = 10 to 1000. Preferably, a gel is synthesized at a molar ratio of SiO2 / Al2O3 = 10 to 40, Cu / Al2O3 = 0.01 to 3, KOH / Al2O3 = 4 to 10, TEA + / Al2O3 = 1 to 5, and H2O / Al2O3 = 100 to 600.

[0019] Further, in step 1, the aluminum source is selected from at least one of the group consisting of aluminum powder, aluminum isopropoxide, aluminum hydroxide, alumina, pseudo-boehmite, coal gangue, aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum chloride; the mineralizer is selected from at least one of the group consisting of potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide; in step 3, the silicon source is selected from at least one of the group consisting of silicic acid, silica sol, sodium silicate, white carbon black, methyl orthosilicate, ethyl orthosilicate, coal gangue, clay, and water glass; in step 4, the copper source is selected from at least one of the group consisting of copper nitrate, copper sulfate, copper chloride, copper acetate, and copper oxide; in step 8, the ammonium source used in the ammonium exchange process is selected from at least one of the group consisting of ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium citrate, and ammonium tartrate.

[0020] Further, in step 5, the crystallization reactor is selected from at least one of the group consisting of a homogeneous reactor, an oven, and a stirred reaction kettle. The crystallization process of the mixture is dynamic crystallization or static crystallization by rotation / stirring, with a rotation speed of 10 to 40 rpm and a stirring speed of 30 to 200 rpm; the crystallization conditions of the mixture are crystallization for 1 to 12 days at 110 to 200 °C, preferably crystallization for 2 to 8 days at 130 to 180 °C, and more preferably crystallization for 4 to 6 days at 140 to 160 °C.

[0021] Further, in step 6, after the crystallization step is completed, the obtained solid-liquid mixture can be separated by any conventionally known separation method. As the separation method, for example, methods such as filtering, washing, and drying the obtained mixture can be cited. Here, the filtering, washing, and drying can be carried out in any manner conventionally known in the art. Specifically, for example, as the filtering, the obtained product mixture can be simply filtered by suction. As the washing, for example, washing with deionized water and / or ethanol can be cited. As the drying temperature, for example, 40-250 °C can be cited, preferably 60-120 °C. As the drying time, for example, 8-30 h can be cited, preferably 10-20 h. This drying can be carried out at normal pressure or under reduced pressure. In step 7, the calcination can be carried out in any manner conventionally known in the art. The heating furnace includes at least one of a muffle furnace or a tubular furnace. The calcination temperature is generally 450-700 °C, preferably 500-600 °C, and the calcination time is generally 3-10 h, preferably 4-6 h. The heating rate during the calcination process is 4-5 °C / min. Additionally, the calcination is generally carried out in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, such as an air or oxygen atmosphere.

[0022] Further, in step 8, the ammonium exchange of the Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve is to exchange the alkali metal cations such as Na + , K + in the molecular sieve into NH 4+ . The exchange is carried out at 20-60 °C for 0.5-4 h, and can be carried out once or multiple times. After the ammonium ion exchange, it is dried at 60-120 °C for 4-24 h, and then calcined. The calcination temperature is 500-600 °C, the calcination time is 1-12 h, and the calcination atmosphere is oxygen or air, to obtain a hydrogen-type Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve.

[0023] Further, in step 9, after the molecular sieve is tableted and formed, the granule size is selected to be 10-20 mesh. The catalytic reaction test device is selected from at least one of a fixed-bed reactor or a solar-driven thermal catalytic reactor. The reaction raw material gas composition is 500 ppm NH3, 500 ppm NO, 5% O2, and N2 as the balance carrier gas. The volumetric space velocity of the raw material gas is GHSV = 80,000 h -1 . A photoacoustic spectrometer is used to detect the concentrations of NO, N2O, NH3, and O2 before and after the reaction.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the characteristics of the present invention are as follows: By directly introducing a copper source into the initial gel system, in-situ embedding of Cu² + is realized during the formation process of the molecular sieve, eliminating the metal ion exchange and loading steps and the seed preparation step in the traditional synthesis process of Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve, significantly shortening the process flow and reducing the production cost.

[0025] The Cu-SUZ-4 molecular sieve prepared by this method shows outstanding potential in the field of NH3-SCR environmental catalysis due to its high copper loading, excellent thermal stability (the specific surface area retention rate is >90% after calcination at 700 °C), and active site accessibility: the active temperature window ranges from 250 to 450 °C. Under low-temperature conditions (250 - 300 °C), NH3 and Cu² + form [Cu(NH3)2] + complex, which serves as a dynamic active site and promotes the reduction of NOx through local homogeneous reactions. This mechanism can significantly increase the reaction rate, and the low-temperature NOx conversion efficiency can reach over 90%. The pore structure of Cu-SUZ-4 allows the active sites to remain efficient within a wide temperature range, especially in the scenario of diesel vehicle exhaust treatment with alternating cold start and high-temperature regeneration.
