Separation of gas mixtures using a range of zeolite membranes: a molecular-dynamics study

Gas separation efficiencies of three zeolite membranes (Faujasite, MFI, and Chabazite) have been examined using the method of molecular dynamics. Our investigation has allowed us to study the effects of pore size and structure, state conditions, and compositions on the permeation of two binary gas mixtures, O(2)N(2) and CO(2)N(2). We have found that for the mixture components with similar sizes and adsorption characteristics, such as O(2)N(2), small-pore zeolites are not suited for separations, and this result is explicable at the molecular level. For mixture components with differing adsorption behavior, such as CO(2)N(2), separation is mainly governed by adsorption and small-pore zeolites separate such gases quite efficiently. When selective adsorption takes place, we have found that, for species with low adsorption, the permeation rate is low, even if the diffusion rate is quite high. Our results further indicate that loading (adsorption) dominates the separation of gas mixtures in small-pore zeolites, such as MFI and Chabazite. For larger-pore zeolites such as Faujasite, diffusion rates do have some effect on gas mixture separation, although adsorption continues to be important. Finally, our simulations using existing intermolecular potential models have replicated all known experimental results for these systems. This shows that molecular simulations could serve as a useful screening tool to determine the suitability of a membrane for potential separation applications.     

Multiple Zeolite Structures from One Ionic Liquid Template

This study reports the use of 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium methanesulfonate ionic liquid as a template in the synthesis of zeolites. It is found that the silicon source determines the formation of beta (BEA), mordenite framework inverted (MFI), or analcime (ANA) zeolites. Depending on this source, different preorganized complexes are obtained that drive the formation of the different zeolite structures. In the presence of ethanol, the ionic liquid form preorganized complexes that drive the formation of MFI. In its absence, BEA is obtained. Whereas, the large amount of sodium present when using sodium metasilicate leads to ANA formation. A molecular simulation study of the relative stability of the template‐framework system and location of the template provides further insight into the mechanism of synthesis.     

Liquid Phase Separation of Polar Hydrocarbons from Light Aromatics Using Zeolites

The liquid phase removal of low concentrations of polar compounds (acetonitrile, acrylonitrile and dioxane) from toluene by adsorption on zeolites reveals very high selectivity factors. Kinetic selectivity factors as high as 16,100 are observed. The selection of the zeolites (MFI, MWW and FAU type) allowed the study of the effects of varying aluminum content, the presence and absence of acidic centers and varying pore volumes. To assess the relative effectiveness of each adsorbent, both equilibrium and continuous flow, pseudo equilibrium, breakthrough experiments were conducted. The continuous flow experiments were carried out at 25 and 75°C. The zeolites H-ZSM-5, H-MCM-22 and Na-X are highly effective in removing the polar compounds from toluene to a concentration level down to less than 20 ppm (detection limit). The results obtained with the equilibrium batch experiments are confirmed by the continuous flow breakthrough experiments.     

The influence of pore structure on reaction mechanism of propylene dimerization in zeolite: A theoretical viewpoint

Molecular sieves have been widely used in the petrochemical industry as environment-friendly catalysts. The pore structure is an important factor influencing the catalytic performance of the zeolite. In this work, a combined Our own N-layered Integrated molecular Orbital and Molecular mechanics method was used to study the mechanism of propylene dimerization in four zeolites (ZSM-5, BEA, MCM-22, and MOR) with different pore structures. Comparing the stepwise mechanism and the concerted mechanism, it is found that the two mechanisms compete with each other in the macroporous BEA, MCM-22, and MOR zeolites, and both mechanisms are possible. However, in ZSM-5 zeolite with medium pore size, the propylene dimerization reaction tends to proceed according to the stepwise mechanism. Furthermore, no matter which mechanism is adopted, the activation energy of propylene dimerization reaction in MCM-22 is the smallest in the four zeolites, indicating that its MWW-type structure (A framework type defined by the International Zeolite Association) may be the most favorable pore structure for the reaction and possesses the highest catalytic activity.     

Synthesis of Pure Silica MWW Zeolite in Fluoride Medium by Using an Imidazolium-Based Long Dication

As the spacer length in 1,2-dimethylimidazolium-based dications increases beyond a specific point (six methylene units), they fail in structure-directing towards STW zeolites in any synthetic conditions. These dications can instead produce, under fluoride concentrated conditions, either *BEA [in the case of the eight-methylene-unit structure-directing agent (SDA)] or MWW (ten methylene units) zeolites. For any length of the dication, the default zeolite (MTW) is a relatively dense zeolite containing a unidimensional channel, whereas the zeolite demanding most specificity (STW, *BEA or MWW) is more porous, affording a larger concentration of the dication to be occluded. This work provides the first reported fluoride synthesis of pure silica MWW zeolites. Charge balance of the organic dications in this zeolite was achieved by combining “structural” silanolates, regular “connectivity defects” and occluded fluoride. Molecular mechanics calculations showed a perfect fit of the decamethylenebis(dimethylimidazolium) dication in the sinusoidal intralayer pore system of MWW. The calculations showed also that the dication is able to stabilize the interlayer space without disturbing the hydrogen-bonding system that holds the layers together in the as-made material. The ¹⁹F magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR presented two distinct resonances at −71 and −83 ppm, which, on the basis of DFT calculations, we tentatively assigned to fluoride occluded in [4⁶6²] and [4¹5²6²] cages of the MWW structure, respectively. The same DFT study determines a different chemical shift of one methyl ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance according to the imidazolium ring residing in the sinusoidal channels or in the large cup cavities, thus explaining an experimentally observed splitting of that resonance.     

苯在酸碱处理多级孔Y分子筛上的吸附及传质行为

利用H_4EDTA-NaOH共处理的方法制备了具有不同孔径分布的多级微-介孔NaY分子筛。运用XRD、N_2吸附、SEM、TEM对其结构进行了表征。采用频率响应(FR)和智能重量分析仪(IGA)技术研究了苯在改性后的多级孔NaY分子筛及微孔NaY分子筛上的吸附和传质性能。结果表明,适当的酸碱处理不会改变分子筛的晶体结构,但可调变NaY分子筛的精细结构;介孔的引入降低了分子在孔道中的扩散阻力,较大的孔径和较好的孔道贯通性有利于扩散和吸附中心的可接近性;对于微孔NaY分子筛,苯在分子筛上的吸附过程为其传质过程的速控步骤,对于酸碱处理的多级孔NaY分子筛,分子筛颗粒中微/介孔内的扩散过程及分子筛微-介孔孔道间的分子交换过程是传质过程的速控步骤。

采用GCMC方法模拟了噻吩-苯二元组分和噻吩-苯-正己烷三元组分在MFI和MOR沸石中的吸附分离性能. 结果表明, 对于噻吩-苯二元体系, 在MFI孔道中, 噻吩分子比苯分子都优先定位于孔道的交叉部分, 当总压升高时, 苯的吸附量增加, 噻吩的吸附量保持不变, 苯分子被噻吩分子“挤”到直型孔道之中, 该二元体系符合Clark等提出的竞争吸附模型. 而对于在MOR中的吸附, 噻吩和苯分子没有表现出明显不同的优先吸附位, 符合Clark等提出的体积填充模型. 对于噻吩-苯-正己烷三元体系, 在MFI沸石中, 正己烷的吸附量最大, 噻吩和苯的吸附量很小. 而对于MOR沸石, 噻吩的吸附量最大, 苯和正己烷的吸附量小, 对于这三种较大尺寸的分子, 只能位于MOR主孔道中, 当存在着少量的正己烷分子时, 就影响到了苯的吸附, 而正己烷对噻吩在MOR孔道中填充的影响要比苯小, 噻吩的吸附量影响不大.     

Ce离子对苯在Y分子筛上吸附扩散行为的影响

Differential Adsorption of l- and d-Lysine on Achiral MFI Zeolites as Determined by Synchrotron X-Ray Powder Diffraction and Thermogravimetric Analysis

Reported here is the first crystallographic observation of stereospecific bindings of l - and d -lysine (Lys) in achiral MFI zeolites. The MFI structure offers inherent geometric and internal confinement effects for the enantiomeric difference in l - and d -Lys adsorption. Notable differences have been observed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Distinct l - and d -Lys adsorption behaviours on the H-ZSM-5 framework have been revealed by the Rietveld refinement of high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) data and the density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Despite demonstrating the approach for l - and d -Lys over MFI zeolites at an atomistic resolution, the differential adsorption study sheds light on the rational engineering of molecular interaction(s) with achiral microporous materials for chiral separation purposes.

层剥离MWW结构分子筛的直接可控合成

分子筛是一类重要的催化材料,在石油和煤制化学品工业中应用广泛.目前,国际分子筛协会结构委员会确认的248种分子筛骨架结构中的19种已经商业化应用,如FAU,MFI,*BEA,MOR和MWW.具有多层结构的MCM-22是MWW结构分子筛的典型代表,已应用于苯与乙烯液相烷基化制乙苯.然而,烷基化反应主要发生在位于MCM-22分子筛晶体外表面的半超笼内,位于10元环孔道和12元环超笼内的酸性位对乙烯转化率几乎没有贡献.因此,有必要制备能够容纳更多半超笼的具有超大外比表面积的新型MWW结构分子筛.厚度仅2.5 nm的单层MWW结构分子筛ITQ-2具备以上特征,但是其较弱的酸性质及复杂的制备过程使其无法工业应用.受到采用具有长碳链的双子季铵阳离子两亲性有机结构导向剂直接合成层状MFI分子筛的启发,其有机结构导向剂同时起到导向MFI结构和抑制晶体沿b轴方向生长的作用.类似地,层剥离MWW结构分子筛也被直接合成出来,但所得材料的催化性能不理想,且有机结构导向剂不易得.通过对MCM-22分子筛的结构分析发现,其合成态是由多个MWW结构层有序组装而成,可以通过溶胀处理增大层间距,削弱层间相互作用,经超声处理即可实现层剥离.鉴于此,本文采用向合成MCM-22分子筛的常规体系中加入二环己基胺充当有机添加剂构筑'双功能'合成体系的策略,开展层剥离MWW结构分子筛新材料的直接合成.X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明,与MCM-22分子筛相比,在二环己基胺参与下合成的分子筛SCM-1(DCHA/SiO2=0.4)和SCM-6(DCHA/SiO2=0.6)的XRD谱中与MWW结构c轴方向有关的(101)和(102)晶面的衍射峰出现偏移和重叠的现象,表明其沿c轴方向有序性降低.扫描电子显微镜显示,所有样品均为片状形貌,其中SCM-6含有少量无定形物种.氩气及氮气物理吸附结果表明,SCM-1和SCM-6具有超大外比表面积,而微孔体积小于MCM-22分子筛.透射电子显微镜表征结果表明,MCM-22为多层结构,厚度约为20 nm,而SCM-1和SCM-6的厚度分别约为5.0和2.5 nm,对应双层和单层结构,表明在有机添加剂参与下直接合成了层剥离的新型MWW结构分子筛.值得注意的是,通过调节添加剂用量,可以调节剥离程度,即实现可控层剥离,得到完全(单层)或部分(双层)剥离的MWW结构分子筛.该方法所采用的添加剂的尺寸是关键因素,选用尺寸大于有机结构导向剂的添加剂才能有效抑制晶体沿c轴方向的有序生长,实现层剥离MWW结构分子筛的直接合成.采用该方法合成的新型MWW结构分子筛具有超大外比表面积和更多的表面半超笼,在苯与乙烯液相烷基化反应中,SCM-1催化的乙烯转化率明显高于MCM-22分子筛.SCM-6因结晶度低而未能表现出优势.进一步比较SCM-1和MCM-22的催化稳定性发现,SCM-1的稳定性更好,经过64 h连续反应,其吸附的有机物及积碳更少.在1,3,5-三异丙苯裂解反应中,SCM-1的催化性能也明显优于MCM-22.     

Neopentane and solid acids: direct hydron exchange before cracking

The hydrogen/deuterium exchange reaction of 2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentane) over D(2)O-exchanged zeolites (MOR, FAU, BEA, MFI) using a batch recirculation reactor was studied by means of gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer. In the temperature range 473-573 K, H/D exchange proceeds without side reaction such as cracking at short contact times. Indeed the C-H bond has appeared favorably involved in the activation of neopentane compared to the less accessible C-C bond. The transition state allowing hydron exchange is most likely a carbonium species (pentacoordinated carbon) as in the case of the H/D exchange between methane and solid acid. The activation energies of the H/D exchange between neopentane and zeolites are the same for all zeolites indicating a common carbonium ion type transition state. On the basis of previous results in the case of the exchange between methane and liquid superacids, the deuterium exchange rates in neopentane were tentatively related to the acidity of the solids. However the order of activity MOR > MFI > BEA > FAU seems to be related to the size of the pores, which may suggest the involvement of a confinement effect in the zeolites cavities. Moreover we found that H/D exchange takes also place between neopentane and deuterated sulfated zirconia (SZ) emphasizing its strong acidity.     

C4烃在FAU、BEA、LTL型分子筛中吸附的蒙特卡罗研究

Effect of zeolite pore morphology on solvent-less alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene

In an attempt to convert the carcinogenic benzene which is almost restricted for its use in gasoline, alkylation reaction with olefin 1-hexene has been conducted on various zeolites. Four zeolites having different pore topology and pore size have been applied as solid acid catalysts for effective production of alkylate in a liquid phase, solvent-less low temperature reaction. The textural properties of all the four zeolites (ZSM-5, MOR, BEA, HY) have been characterized for crystal morphology by TEM, crystal structure by XRD and FTIR, BET for surface area, N₂ sorption for porosity and TPD for acidity. Among the zeolite, BEA possessed high surface area (600.61 m²/g) and enhanced meso pores volume (0.3956 cm³/g) as compared to other zeolite samples. The performance of BEA was also observed to be superior in the liquid phase alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene in a batch reactor under autogenous pressure without using any solvent. At the optimum reaction conditions, the benzene conversion was 86.6 wt% and 3-Phenylhexane, 2-Phenylhexane yield were about 47.9 wt% and 38.7 wt% respectively on this catalyst. The BEA also exhibited longer time-on-stream and reusability performance, thus offers an attractive route for converting benzene into valuable (3-Phenylhexane, 2-Phenylhexane) alkylate product useful for the manufacturing of fine chemicals, dyestuff, detergents and scents.

Selective adsorption of 2,3-DCDD and 1,2,3,4-TCDD on *BEA,EMT, FAU and MFI-type zeolites as alternative adsorbents for on-line dioxin monitoring

The aim of this study is to evaluate the capabilities of zeolites as selective sorbents for on-line dioxin monitoring. The adsorption isotherms of 2,3-DCDD and 1,2,3,4-TCDD from isooctane on several zeolites with different pore sizes (*BEA, EMT, FAU and MFI-type zeolites) are determined. Selective adsorption is shown for FAU and EMT-type zeolites. 2,3-DCDD is adsorbed by FAU with the highest adsorption capacity and affinity while 1,2,3,4-TCDD is not adsorbed whatever the zeolites. The adsorption of 2,3-DCDD inside the pores of FAU is qualitatively confirmed by diffuse reflectance UV spectrometry and thermogravimetry measurements.     

Direct amination of isobutylene over zeolite catalysts with various topologies and acidities

The atomically economic and green chemical reaction of direct amination of isobutylene to tertbutylamine, particularly under the relative mild reaction conditions available for future industrial use,was carried out over zeolite catalysts possessing different topological structures, from one dimensional to three dimensional pore system, and from small 8-member ring pore(MRP) to medium 10 MRP and further to large 12 MRP zeolites, to disclose the relationship between the zeolite properties/topologies and their amination performance systematically under the mild reaction conditions. It was discovered that the pore structure and the acidities of zeolite catalysts played crucial roles in the isobutylene amination process, and suitable pore diameter(larger than 0.5 nm or with large side pockets/cups in the outside surface) and a certain number of mid-strong acid sites are indispensable to catalyze the amination reaction,while too strong acid strength was not conducive to the process of isobutylene amination. Among them,zeolites with topologies of BEA, MFI, MEL, MWW and EUO exhibited good amination performance, with which the isobutylene conversion was higher than 12.61%(46.42% of the equilibrium conversion) under the studied mild reaction conditions. Due to the good amination performance and the large adjustable Si/Al_2 ratio range, ZSM-5 was selected to further study the effect of acidity on the amination performance systematically under the mild reaction conditions, and the activity-acidity relationship in the amination process was disclosed: the amination activity(isobutylene conversion) had a linear correlation with the amount of mid-strong B acidity under the studied conditions over ZSM-5 catalyst, which can provide guidance for further developing high-efficient amination catalyst under mild reaction conditions available for future industrial use.
