Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular sieve synthesis technology, specifically relating to a ZSM-48 molecular sieve raw powder and its rapid synthesis method, as well as a catalyst for the hydrogenation isomerization reaction of n-dodecane. Background Technology

[0002] ZSM-48 molecular sieve is a high-silica molecular sieve with one-dimensional ten-membered ring channels. These channels are connected in two ways: crankshaft connection and four-membered ring connection, ultimately forming a ten-membered ring channel structure. ZSM-48 molecular sieve possesses a unique channel structure and strong surface acidity, which makes it more conducive to the branching isomerization of long-chain macromolecular alkanes, increasing the isomerization depth and significantly reducing the pour point of base oils. Therefore, it has been widely used in catalysis fields such as petroleum refining and petrochemicals.

[0003] However, the synthesis of ZSM-48 molecular sieves currently suffers from problems such as long hydrothermal crystallization time (72 hours) and large amounts of expensive template agents, which restricts production efficiency in industrial production and poses a significant challenge in treating industrial wastewater generated by organic template agents. Researchers have attempted to use different techniques to efficiently prepare ZSM-48 molecular sieves, such as microwave, ultrasonic, and solid-phase seed-assisted synthesis methods. However, microwave and ultrasonic methods involve expensive equipment, demanding operating conditions, and still require large amounts of expensive template agents, making industrial application difficult. Solid-phase seed-assisted synthesis methods suffer from drawbacks such as long synthesis steps, large amounts of seed crystals, and uneven molecular sieve particle size. For example, US6923949 discloses a method for inducing the synthesis of ZSM-48 using heterogeneous molecular sieves as seed crystals; however, this method requires a large amount of seed crystals and involves a long experimental process and hydrothermal crystallization time. US7482300 discloses a method for synthesizing low silica-alumina ratio ZSM-48 molecular sieves using hexamethyldiamine chloride as a template agent under seed-assisted conditions; however, the template agent (hexamethyldiamine chloride) used in this method is expensive and highly toxic, which is not conducive to industrial application. CN110562999A discloses a method for successfully synthesizing low silica-alumina ratio (82) ZSM-48 molecular sieves using hexamethylamine bromide as a template agent under homogeneous or heterogeneous seed-assisted conditions; however, the hydrothermal crystallization temperature used in this technology is too high (180 degrees Celsius), resulting in low crystallinity of the synthesized molecular sieve.

[0004] In summary, the two common technical challenges in the synthesis of molecular sieves—long crystallization time and large amounts of template agent—remain unresolved. Therefore, developing a technology for the rapid synthesis of ZSM-48 molecular sieves with low template agent usage is of great significance and has promising application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a ZSM-48 molecular sieve raw powder, its rapid synthesis method, and a catalyst for the n-dodecane hydroisomerization reaction. By adding nanocrystals, the rapid preparation of ZSM-48 molecular sieve raw powder can be achieved, shortening the crystallization time and further reducing the amount of template agent required.

[0097] Comparative Example 4

[0098] This comparative example provides a method for solid-phase seed-assisted synthesis of ZSM-48 molecular sieves, specifically including the following steps:

[0099] According to the molar ratio Al2O3:OH - The feed was prepared using a ratio of SiO2:R2:H2O = 0.075:3.6:30:0.9:1050, with sodium hydroxide as the alkali source, silica sol (40% purity) as the silicon source, and hexamethylamine bromide as the template agent (R); calcined pure-phase ZSM-48 molecular sieve was used as the solid seed crystal.

[0100] Step 1: First, add sodium hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, and hexamethylamine bromide to deionized water and stir until homogeneous to form a solution. Keep the solution stirred, then add solid seed crystals to it. Finally, slowly add silica sol to the solution to form gel A.

[0103] The SEM image of the sample prepared in this comparative example is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The results showed that its morphology was an aggregated spindle-shaped structure, and it did not form a highly dispersed state.

[0104] The crystallization time, template agent dosage, relative crystallinity, and morphological characteristics of the samples prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were statistically analyzed, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0105] Table 1. Summary of Experimental Data for Examples and Comparative Examples

[0106] experiment Hydrothermal crystallization time Template dose / Si Relative crystallinity Morphological characteristics Example 1 16h 0.02 89.2% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 2 16h 0.02 90.5% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 3 16h 0.02 95.4% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 4 16h 0.02 93.2% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 5 16h 0.02 90.6% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 6 16h 0.02 89.6% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Example 7 16h 0.02 89.2% Highly dispersed spindle morphology Comparative Example 1 72h 0.2 88.3% Accumulated spindle morphology Comparative Example 2 96h 0.1 78.2% Accumulated spindle morphology Comparative Example 3 16h 0.02 0% - Comparative Example 4 50h 0.03 85.4% Accumulated spindle morphology

[0107] The results in Table 1 show that the nanocrystal-induced synthesis method successfully synthesized ZSM-48 molecular sieves with high relative crystallinity and high dispersion under conditions of shorter hydrothermal crystallization time (16 h) and lower template agent dosage (template agent / Si = 0.02). In contrast, the conventional synthesis method significantly increases the amount of template agent and the hydrothermal crystallization time, requiring more than 50 hours to obtain ZSM-48 molecular sieves, and also results in lower relative crystallinity and higher template agent dosage. Furthermore, the molecular sieves prepared using the conventional synthesis method exhibited a stacking phenomenon in their morphology, resulting in uneven particle size. Therefore, the method of this invention not only improves the synthesis efficiency of molecular sieves but also reduces the synthesis cost.

[0108] The catalysts were prepared using ZSM-48 molecular sieve powder from Examples 4, 2, and 4 as raw materials, and their catalytic performance in the hydroisomerization reaction of n-dodecane was investigated accordingly, as follows:

[0109] (1) The ZSM-48 molecular sieve powders obtained in Example 4, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 4 were used to prepare catalysts according to the following steps:

[0110] 1. Preparation of the carrier: ZSM-48 molecular sieve raw powder was calcined at 550℃ for 5 hours to obtain ZSM-48 molecular sieve. ZSM-48 molecular sieve was mixed with boehmite for 30 minutes, wherein ZSM-48 molecular sieve accounted for 75 wt% of the mixture. Then, 1 wt% nitric acid and deionized water were added to the mixture and mixed for 30 minutes. The mixture was then extruded and calcined at 550℃ for 5 hours in air atmosphere to obtain the carrier. The amount of nitric acid added was 45 wt% based on the mass of ZSM-48 molecular sieve as 100%.

[0111] 2. Determination of the saturated water absorption rate of the carrier: Weigh 2g of the calcined carrier, denoted as X0, and immerse it in a beaker containing deionized water. The deionized water will completely cover the carrier. During this process, bubbles will be generated. Gently shake the beaker until the bubbles no longer occur, then transfer the carrier to filter paper. Use the filter paper to absorb the water on its surface and weigh the carrier after water absorption, denoted as X. Calculate the saturated water absorption rate (g / g) of the carrier according to the formula for the saturated water absorption rate of the carrier: (X-X0) / X0.

[0112] 3. Loading active metal: H2PtCl6·6H2O is dissolved in deionized water to obtain a platinum salt impregnation solution; the support is impregnated in the platinum salt impregnation solution (vacuum equal volume impregnation method is adopted according to the saturated water absorption rate of the support), and a wet catalyst strip is obtained after impregnation. The wet catalyst strip is calcined at 550℃ for 5h to obtain the catalyst.

[0113] (2) The catalysts prepared by the above method were evaluated using n-dodecane as a model compound. Under the process conditions of 320℃, hydrogen partial pressure of 2MPa, and hydrogen / alkane ratio of 500 (volume ratio), the product distribution was measured as shown in Table 2. The total isomer yield = (single-branched isomer selectivity + multi-branched isomer selectivity) × conversion rate.

[0114] Table 2. Catalyst Evaluation Results

[0115] project Example 4 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 4 Conversion rate, % 93.0 76.0 82.5 Single-branched isomer selectivity, % 53.3 57.6 60.5 Multi-branched isomer selectivity, % 36.6 15.4 23.5 Total yield of isomers, % 83.6 55.5 69.3

[0116] As can be seen from the results in Table 2, compared with the ZSM-48 molecular sieves prepared by conventional hydrothermal synthesis (Comparative Example 2) and solid-phase seed-assisted synthesis (Comparative Example 4), the catalyst prepared by using the ZSM-48 molecular sieve in Example 4 as raw material under the same process conditions can achieve higher conversion rate, multi-branched isomer selectivity and total isomer yield.
