thermal synthesis method: the water glass is boiled with steam to prepare an aqueous solution with a relative density of 1.2 to 1. 25, and impurities are removed by sedimentation, and the supernatant is taken for use. The solid aluminum hydroxide and sodium hydroxide were mixed according to the mass ratio of 1.2:1 and then heated and dissolved to prepare a sodium metaaluminate solution for use. In order to prevent hydrolysis of the sodium metaaluminate solution, it is preferable to use a freshly prepared solution. The water glass, sodium metaaluminate, sodium hydroxide according to a certain molar ratio (generally Al203 ; S102 ; Na20 ; H20-1 l2:3:185) are mixed, under stirring, the reaction was carried out at about 80 ° C. For 30min, and the resulting gel was heated to a constant temperature of 90 ° C. For 1H, and was further heated to 102 ° C. And crystallized at 2 ° C. For 4H to obtain a crystal powder.

product characteristics | molecular sieve is an aluminosilicate compound with cubic lattice. it is mainly composed of silicon and aluminum connected by oxygen bridge to form an open skeleton structure. in the structure, there are many holes with uniform pore size and holes with neat arrangement and large internal surface area. In addition, it also contains metal ions with lower electricity price and larger ion radius and combined water. Since the water molecules are continuously lost after heating, but the crystal skeleton structure remains unchanged, many cavities of the same size are formed, and the cavities are connected by many micropores of the same diameter. These tiny pores have a uniform diameter and can be larger than the pores. Molecules with smaller diameter are adsorbed into the inside of the cavity, and molecules larger than the pore are excluded, so that molecules with different shapes and diameters can be used. Molecules with different degrees of polarity, molecules with different boiling points and molecules with different degrees of saturation are separated, which has the function of "sieving" molecules, so it is called molecular sieve. At present, molecular sieves are widely used in chemical, electronic, petrochemical, natural gas and other industries. |
Molecular structure | The general formula for the chemical composition of molecular sieves is:(Mn )2/nO · Al2O3 · xSiO2 · pH2O,M represents metal ions (usually Na in artificial synthesis),n represents the valence of metal ions, x represents the molar number of SiO2, also known as the silicon-aluminum ratio, and p represents the molar number of water. The most basic structure of the molecular sieve framework is SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra, which are combined by common oxygen atoms to form a three-dimensional network structure. This combination forms cavities and pores with molecular level and uniform pore size. Due to different structures and different forms, the "cage"-shaped space holes are divided into "cage" structures such as α, β, γ, hexagonal columns, and faujasite. The crystal structures of A- type, X-type and Y-type molecular sieves are shown in the figure. Figure 1 The main structure of type A molecular sieve and the main structure of type X and type Y molecular sieve Because the AlO4 tetrahedron has a negative charge, it can be combined with sodium plasma to become electrically neutral. In aqueous solutions, Na is readily exchanged with other cations. Most molecular sieve catalysts are exchangers of polyvalent metal cations or H. Molecular sieves have acidity and selectivity to molecular size, and can be used as catalysts or supports. Silicon and aluminum atoms form an oxygen ring through oxygen, and the size of the oxygen ring determines the pore size of zeolite. The number of oxygen atoms per oxygen ring is 4~12. Usually, there are eight-membered rings (0.4~0.5nm), ten-membered rings (0.5~0.6nm) and twelve-membered rings (0.7~0.9 nm) with molecular sieve function. Y-type molecular sieve (x = 3.1~6.0) and mordenite (x = 9~11) with twelve-membered oxygen ring. The former can be used as a cracking catalyst and a bifunctional catalyst, while the latter can be used as a disproportionation catalyst for toluene. The ten-membered oxygen ring has some ZSM series molecular sieves such as ZSM-5 and ZSM-11. the eight-membered oxygen ring includes a-type molecular sieve (x = 2), t-type molecular sieve and ZSM-34, etc. Their pores are very small, and only linear hydrocarbons can enter the pores. The catalyst with molecular sieve as catalytic active component or main active component is called molecular sieve catalyst. Molecular sieve has ion exchange performance, uniform molecular size pores, excellent acid catalytic activity, and good thermal stability and hydrothermal stability. It can be made into a catalyst with high activity and high selectivity for many reactions. |
molecular sieve catalyst | according to the catalytic properties, molecular sieve catalysts can be divided into the following points: (1) acid catalyst, using the surface acidity of molecular sieve for catalytic reaction. (2) bifunctional catalyst, molecular sieve can support platinum and palladium metals to obtain a bifunctional molecular sieve catalyst with both metal catalytic function and acid catalytic function. (3) shape-selective catalyst, because the catalytic effect of molecular sieve generally occurs in the inner space of the crystal, the pore size and pore structure of molecular sieve have a great influence on the catalytic activity and selectivity. The molecular sieve has regular and uniform intragranular pores, and the pore size is close to the molecular size, so that the catalytic performance of the molecular sieve changes significantly with the geometric size of the reactant molecules, product molecules or reaction intermediates. The main applications of molecular sieves as catalysts are shown in the table below. ▼ ▲ Catalytic process catalyst type catalyst example petroleum catalytic cracking hydrocracking solid acid bifunctional rare earth-Y type molecular sieve, ultra-stable-Y type molecular sieve palladium-ultra-stable Y type molecular sieve, molybdenum-nickel ultra-stable Y type molecular sieve, tungsten-nickel ultra-stable Y type molecular sieve C5 and C6 alkane isomerization diesel oil or lubricating oil Pro-hydrogen pour point setting selective reforming xylene isomerization toluene disproportionation alkylation (ethylbenzene synthesis) methanol synthesis gasoline bifunctional function, shape-selective dual function, shape-selective dual function, shape-selective solid acid, shape-selective solid acid, shape-selective solid acid, shape-selective platinum-mordenite palladium-mordenite, palladium-zinc-ZSM-5 molecular sieve palladium-wool zeolite, chabazite platinum-mordenite mordenite, ZSM-5 molecular sieve ZSM-5 molecular sieve ZSM-5 molecular sieve |
