The present application relates to the technical field of
molecular sieve preparation, and discloses a modified
molecular sieve and a preparation method and application thereof.A modified
molecular sieve, wherein the modified molecular
sieve comprises a molecular
sieve and a
rare earth element, the modified molecular
sieve has a beta cage and a supercage structure, the R value of the modified molecular sieve is 10-35%, and the K value of the modified molecular sieve is 1-20; wherein the R value represents the
mass fraction of the
rare earth element in the modified molecular sieve in terms of an
oxide, and the K value represents the ratio of the content of the
rare earth element in the beta cage to that in the supercage. The modified molecular sieve is loaded with a relatively large amount of the
rare earth element, and the distribution of the
rare earth element in the beta cage and the supercage is regulated, so that the performance of the molecular sieve in an
alkylation reaction is improved, and the molecular sieve exhibits excellent performance in catalytic synthesis of a
linear alkylbenzene target product in a molecular sieve
alkylation reaction.
