[0002] ZSM-12 molecular sieve (US3832449A) is a molecular sieve developed by Mobil Petroleum Corporation in the United States. It features a one-dimensional linear non-cross-channel structure with an MTW (Medium-Through) pore size of [missing information]. Its unique pore structure and adjustable acidity make it widely used in petroleum refining reaction processes, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance.

[0003] Currently, the most commonly used organic template agents for synthesizing ZSM-12 molecular sieves are tetraethylammonium (TEA). + ) ions, methyltriethylammonium (MTEA) + ( ) halogenated compounds or hydroxides of ions. ZSM-12 molecular sieves prepared with different template agents have different morphologies. (Based on MTEA) + Molecular sieves synthesized using TEA as a template agent are mostly spindle-shaped with a grain size of approximately 2-5 μm; + Most molecular sieves synthesized using template agents are cubic in shape. The morphology of molecular sieves affects the diffusion of reactant molecules within the sieve crystal and their catalytic activity. Therefore, the synthesis of ZSM-12 molecular sieves with special morphologies has attracted widespread attention from researchers both domestically and internationally. CN106564909A discloses a two-stage hydrothermal crystallization method for preparing six-lobed snowflake-shaped ZSM-12 zeolite molecular sieves using 1,n-bis(N-methylpyrrolidine)alkyl styrene chloride (n=4-6) as a structure-directing agent. CN103922362A discloses a method for synthesizing ZSM-12 molecular sieves using 1,n-bis(N-methylpyrrolidine)alkane divalent cations (n=3-7) as structure-directing agents; the resulting ZSM-12 molecular sieves have a regular morphology, exhibiting a 10 μm hexagonal disk shape. CN116022805A discloses a method for preparing small-crystal ZSM12 molecular sieves, using a silica-alumina gel with a high silica-alumina ratio as a composite silica-alumina source and 1,4-bis(N-methylpyrrolidine)butane halide as a template agent. The synthesized ZSM12 molecular sieves have a crystal size between 100 and 200 nm.
