Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of zeolite molecular sieve technology, specifically to a mordenite molecular sieve, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Zeolite molecular sieves are microporous crystalline aluminosilicate materials. Due to their unique properties, such as strong acidity, high stability, renewability, and good shape selectivity, they are used as important catalysts in modern industry. Mordenite is an important type of aluminosilicate zeolite molecular sieve material, widely used as an important adsorbent and catalyst in petroleum processing and fine chemical industries. The ideal unit cell composition of mordenite is Na₈Al₈Si. 40 O 96 ·nH₂O, belonging to the orthorhombic crystal system, is formed by 5-3 structural units sharing a single edge and then further chaining together, consisting of a 12-membered ring along the

[001] direction and a confined 8-membered ring. Its microporous system consists of two channels: one is an elliptical main 12-membered ring (MR) channel parallel to the c-axis, with a channel size of… Another is an irregularly arranged 8-membered ring (MR) channel parallel to the b-axis, with hole size... For many guest molecules, the pore size of 8MR is too small to allow easy entry and exit. Therefore, mordenite is generally considered to be one-dimensional and can induce diffusion in catalytic applications.

[0003] Mordenite has been proven to be an effective molecular sieve catalyst for the carbonylation of dimethyl ether, particularly due to its high activity and high selectivity for methyl acetate. According to existing reports, the carbonylation mechanism of dimethyl ether on acidic zeolites involves the following steps: first, dimethyl ether adsorbs onto the Brønsted acid site of the mordenite molecular sieve to form a methoxy group. Subsequently, carbon monoxide activates and inserts into the methoxy group to form an acetyl intermediate. Finally, the acetyl group rapidly reacts with another molecule of dimethyl ether to generate methyl acetate and a methoxy group. The methyl acetate then diffuses out through the 12-membered ring. The formation of the acetyl group is the rate-determining step of the entire reaction; therefore, the acidity of the 8-membered ring Brønsted acid significantly affects the catalytic activity of dimethyl ether carbonylation. Thus, the preparation of mordenite zeolites with higher Brønsted acid content is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0045] Unless otherwise specified, all reagents used in the following experiments of this invention are commercially available products or reagents prepared according to conventional methods. Unless otherwise specified, all methods used in the experiments are conventional experimental methods. Unless otherwise specified, all instruments used in the experiments are commercially available.

[0046] In this invention, "specific surface area" refers to the total area of ​​a unit mass sample, including internal and external surface areas. Non-porous samples only have external surface area, such as silicate cement and some clay mineral powders; porous and multi-porous samples have both external and internal surface areas, such as asbestos fibers, diatomaceous earth, and molecular sieves. In porous and multi-porous samples, the surface area of ​​pores with a diameter less than 2 nanometers is the internal surface area, and the surface area after deducting the internal surface area is called the external surface area. The external surface area of ​​a unit mass sample is called the "external specific surface area".

[0047] In this invention, "total pore volume" refers to the volume of all pores (generally only pores with a channel diameter of less than 50 nanometers) per unit mass of molecular sieve; "micropore volume" refers to the volume of all micropores (generally pores with a channel diameter of less than 2 nanometers) per unit mass of molecular sieve.

[0048] The silica used in the following experiments of this invention is spherical under microscopic conditions and is composed of loose polymeric primary particles with a diameter of 10-20 nanometers (the size of the polymeric particles exceeds 100 nanometers, forming dendritic or snowflake-like structures).

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Weigh out the aluminum source (sodium aluminate) and water glass and dissolve it in water. Then add the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide and CTAB and stir thoroughly until homogeneous. Then add fumed silica and stir vigorously to form a gel solution with a molar ratio of 20SiO2:1.4Na2O:1Al2O3:1TEAOH:0.1CTAB:700H2O.

[0051] The resulting gel solution was aged at room temperature for 4 hours, and then transferred to a homogeneous reactor at 180°C for crystallization for 48 hours to obtain mordenite molecular sieve raw powder. The obtained mordenite molecular sieve raw powder was washed, dried and calcined to obtain mordenite molecular sieve. The obtained mordenite molecular sieve was subjected to ammonium exchange with ammonium acetate at 80°C with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 for 3 times to obtain H-type mordenite, which was then evaluated as a catalyst.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] The difference from Example 1 is that the aluminum source "sodium aluminate" is replaced with "aluminum sulfate", the template agent "tetraethylammonium hydroxide" is replaced with "diethylamine", and the amount of each raw material is adjusted so that the composition of the prepared gel solution is as shown in Table 1, and the aging temperature, crystallization temperature and crystallization time are as shown in Table 1.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of raw materials was adjusted so that the composition of the prepared gel solution is as shown in Table 1, and the aging temperature, crystallization temperature and crystallization time are as shown in Table 1.

[0056] Example 4

[0057] The difference from Example 1 is that the aluminum source "sodium aluminate" is replaced with "aluminum nitrate", and the amount of each raw material is adjusted so that the composition of the prepared gel solution is as shown in Table 1, and the aging temperature, crystallization temperature and crystallization time are as shown in Table 1.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] The difference from Example 1 is that the template agent "tetraethylammonium hydroxide" is replaced with "tetrapropylammonium hydroxide", and the amount of each raw material is adjusted so that the composition of the prepared gel solution is as shown in Table 1, and the aging temperature, crystallization temperature and crystallization time are as shown in Table 1.

[0060] Comparative Example 1

[0061] The experimental procedure is the same as in Example 1, except that the silicon source used is replaced with a conventional silica sol aqueous solution with a silica mass fraction of 40% instead of a mixed silicon source of water glass and silica. At the same time, NaOH is used to adjust the alkalinity, maintaining the same molar ratio of SiO2:Na2O as in Example 1. All other steps are the same as in Example 1, as detailed below:

[0062] Weigh out the aluminum source (sodium aluminate) and dissolve it in water. Then add the silica sol aqueous solution (silicon oxide mass fraction 40%), the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide and CTAB, stir thoroughly until uniform, and adjust the alkalinity with NaOH to form a gel solution. The molar ratio of the resulting gel solution is 20SiO2:1.4Na2O:1Al2O3:1TEAOH:0.1CTAB:700H2O.

[0063] The resulting gel solution was aged at room temperature for 4 hours, then transferred to a homogeneous reactor at 180°C for crystallization for 48 hours to obtain raw mordenite molecular sieve powder. The raw mordenite molecular sieve powder was washed, dried, and calcined to obtain mordenite molecular sieve. The obtained mordenite molecular sieve was subjected to ammonium exchange with ammonium acetate at 80°C with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 for 3 times to obtain H-type mordenite, which was then evaluated as a catalyst.

[0064] Comparative Example 2

[0065] The difference from Example 1 is that "silica" is replaced with "silica sol aqueous solution (silica mass fraction 40%)", and the raw material feeding ratio is adjusted so that the composition (molar ratio) of the resulting gel solution is the same as that of Example 1.

[0066] The results showed that using "silica sol aqueous solution (silica mass fraction 40%) and water glass as a mixed silicon source" resulted in poor crystallization and the presence of some amorphous material, making it unsuitable as a catalyst.

[0067] Comparative Example 3

[0068] The difference from Example 1 is that "white carbon black" is not added, and the raw material feeding ratio is adjusted so that the composition (molar ratio) of the resulting gel solution is the same as that of Example 1.

[0069] The results show that using water glass as a single silicon source without crystallization cannot synthesize mordenite.

[0070] Comparative Example 4

[0071] The difference from Example 1 is that silica gel and fumed silica are used as a mixed silicon source to synthesize mordenite zeolite molecular sieves. The specific steps are as follows:

[0072] Weigh out the aluminum source (sodium aluminate) and dissolve it in water. Adjust the alkalinity with NaOH. Then add the template agent tetraethylammonium hydroxide and CTAB, and stir thoroughly until homogeneous. Finally, add the silica sol aqueous solution (silica mass fraction 40%) and fumed silica, and stir vigorously to form a gel solution. The molar ratio of the resulting gel solution is 20SiO2:1.4Na2O:1Al2O3:1TEAOH:0.1CTAB:700H2O.

[0073] The resulting gel solution was aged at room temperature for 4 hours, then transferred to a homogeneous reactor at 180°C for crystallization for 48 hours to obtain raw mordenite molecular sieve powder. The raw mordenite molecular sieve powder was washed, dried, and calcined to obtain mordenite molecular sieve. The obtained mordenite molecular sieve was subjected to ammonium exchange with ammonium acetate at 80°C with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 for 3 times to obtain H-type mordenite, which was then evaluated as a catalyst.

[0078] Catalyst morphology and structural characterization

[0079] 1. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the molecular sieves prepared in Examples 1, 3, 5 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0080] 2. Scanning electron microscope images of the molecular sieves prepared in Examples 1, 3, 5 and Comparative Example 1 are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 It can be seen that the molecular sieves prepared in Examples 1, 3 and 5 are small crystal blocks with a diameter of less than 100 nm, while the molecular sieve prepared in Comparative Example 1 has a plate-like structure with a diameter of 200-500 nm.

[0081] 3. The nitrogen physical absorption-desorption curves of the molecular sieves were measured using a MicrotTriStar3000 fully automated surface and porosity analyzer. To ensure accuracy, the samples were placed in a 350°C environment in the degassing station and vacuum-dried for 4 hours. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation was used to calculate the surface area of ​​the samples, and the BJH model was used to determine the pore size distribution. The t-plot technique was used to calculate the size, volume, and surface area of ​​the micropores.

[0082] The nitrogen adsorption diagrams of the molecular sieves prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown below. Figure 3 As shown in Table 2, the molecular sieve prepared in Example 1 has a higher adsorption capacity than the molecular sieve prepared in Comparative Example 1. Specific surface area, external specific surface area, micropore volume, and total pore volume are shown in Table 2.

[0083] 4. The molecular sieve catalysts prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to determination of silicon-to-aluminum ratio, total TPD acid content, physical adsorption, and pyridine infrared analysis. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0084] The silica-to-alumina ratio of the molecular sieve catalyst was determined using an Agilent 725 ICP-OES analyzer. The specific method was as follows: 20 mg of sample was dispersed in an HF aqueous solution, excess H3BO3 was added, and then the solution was brought to a final volume, followed by a 1 g sample for analysis.

[0085] NH3-TPD is a technique used to characterize the adsorption and dissociation of NH3 molecules on catalysts. By detecting the amount of NH3 released, it determines the amount of adsorption and the degree of dissociation at active sites on the catalyst, thus semi-quantitatively measuring the acid strength of the catalyst. This paper uses an AMI-3300 manufactured by Altamira Instruments for measurement. Before testing, the molecular sieve sample needs to be dried at 550℃ for 1 h, and the heating rate during desorption is 10℃·min. -1 The temperature was increased from 100℃ to 550℃.

[0086] The experimental method for pyridine infrared analysis is as follows: The acid strength and amount of Brønsted (B) and Lewis acids in MOR molecular sieve samples can be measured using Py-IR experiments. This study used a Nicolet NEXUS 670FT-IR spectrometer with a wavenumber range of 4000 cm⁻¹. -1 ~400cm -1The number of scans was 16. Procedure: The molecular sieve sample to be tested was compressed into discs weighing approximately 15 mg and with a diameter of 13 mm. The sample was placed in the center of the sample cell and dried under vacuum at 400℃ for 2 hours. After drying, the background spectrum was photographed and recorded at 400℃, 200℃, and 100℃. After cooling to 100℃, pyridine was adsorbed, followed by vacuum desorption. The sample spectral data were recorded at 100℃, 200℃, and 400℃. After the experiment, the background spectrum at the corresponding temperature was subtracted to obtain the infrared spectral data of pyridine adsorption and desorption.

[0089]

[0090] Remark:

[0091] In Table 2 above, The number of (B) and Lewis (L) acid sites was measured by FT-IR (Py-IR) at an adsorption temperature of 200 °C, and the number of acid sites was calculated using the well-known formula B = 1.88ABR. 2 / W, L=1.42ALR 2 / W, where AB and AL represent locations at 1540cm -1 and 1455cm -1 Nearby The combined absorption peak area of ​​the Lewis acid site, where R represents the radius of the catalyst particle and W represents the weight of the catalyst.

[0092] In Table 2 above, B sites in 8-MRc = (strong acid sites analyzed by NH3-TPD) - 12-MR channels characterized by Py-IR analysis Number of acid sites.
