以天然矿物为全部硅铝源低成本绿色合成ZSM-5分子筛的研究

ZSM-5分子筛被广泛地应用于催化、吸附分离、离子交换和绿色化工等领域,但目前其合成主要是以无机化学品为硅铝源,从源头来看是非绿色化的过程.我们以热活化的硅藻土和亚熔盐活化的累托土为全部硅铝源,通过调变两种矿物的加入比例调变合成体系的硅铝比,在水热合成体系中制备ZSM-5分子筛.系统地考察模板剂用量、碱度、投料硅铝比、晶化时间等合成条件对产物结构和性质的影响,并对在最优条件下合成的ZSM-5分子筛的物化性质进行了详细地表征,结果表明：以天然矿物为全部硅铝源可以合成出具有较高结晶度、晶粒尺寸约为4 μm的六面体挛晶形貌的ZSM-5分子筛,该分子筛比商业ZSM-5分子筛具有更高的水热稳定性和更优的加氢异构性能.     

在含乙醇的硅铝凝胶中合成ZSM-5沸石

用含乙醇的硅铝凝胶水热晶化合成ZSM-5沸石.实验表明,乙醇能够促进ZSM-5沸石晶体的成核和生长,具有明显的模板剂作用.向含乙醇的凝胶中加入晶种可以进一步缩短晶化诱导期和晶化时间,并减小分子筛的晶粒度.晶种的粒度与分子筛产物的晶粒度有一定对应关系.采用搅拌晶化也能明显地减小ZSM-5沸石的晶粒度,同时影响晶体形貌.通过优化晶化条件和凝胶组成,成功合成出硅铝比在30～240范围内、结晶度较高的ZSM-5沸石分子筛,所得沸石孔道畅通,热稳定性、水热稳定性高,且具有较强酸性,具有良好的应用前景.

高度b取向Silicalite-1分子筛膜的制备

小晶粒ZSM-5沸石的绿色、经济性合成（英文）

通过添加少量silicalite-1做为活性晶种在较宽的SiO_2/Al_2O_3比范围内制备得到了小晶粒ZSM-5沸石,对所得样品进行X射线衍射(XRD),扫描电子显微镜(SEM),透射电子显微镜(TEM),N_2吸附-脱附,氨程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)以及吡啶吸附红外(Py-IR)表征。研究结果表明活性晶种能有效导向生成ZSM-5沸石,避免杂晶形成并可减小所得沸石的晶粒尺寸;所得ZSM-5在低硅铝比(SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio=30)时呈纳米颗粒聚集体形貌,具有多级孔道结构性质;在较高硅铝比时(SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio=60–120)呈小晶粒形貌,颗粒尺寸大约200 nm。值得注意的是由胶态晶种引入的少量TPAOH不完全堵塞沸石的微孔孔道,因此所得所有沸石均无需提前焙烧除去模板剂即可进行离子交换得到具有酸性的H型ZSM-5沸石,所得酸性H型ZSM-5沸石具有和常规方法得到的相同SiO_2/Al_2O_3比的ZSM-5相似的酸类型、强度和酸量,在催化甲醇转化制备烯烃时呈现出相似的甲醇转化率和烯烃选择性。与常规ZSM-5制备方法比较,该方法能够大大减少模板剂的使用量,避免了样品离子交换前的焙烧,方法绿色清洁、成本低廉,具有很好的潜在的工业应用前景。     

以氨水做碱源胶态晶种导向法合成小晶粒TS-1分子筛

TS-1分子筛具有MFI拓扑结构,因其独特的择形选择性和优异的催化氧化能力而广受关注.最早报道的TS-1合成方法采用大量四丙基氢氧化铵(TPAOH)作为有机结构导向剂, TPAOH价格昂贵,制约着TS-1分子筛大规模应用.开发廉价、环境友好的合成工艺是TS-1分子筛合成领域的重要课题.以价格相对较低的四丙基溴化铵(TPABr)代替TPAOH做有机结构导向剂,以氨水为碱源可合成TS-1分子筛,但产物晶粒尺寸远远大于以TPAOH做模板的合成结果,影响TS-1分子筛的传质和催化性能.因此,人们对该法进行了改进,选用有机胺作为碱源, TPABr为结构导向剂合成TS-1分子筛,但始终未能将其晶粒尺寸降至1μm以下.在合成体系中引入预先合成的TS-1分子筛或TS-1胶态前驱体作为晶种可以促进成核,缩短成核诱导期,有利于获得小晶粒尺寸的TS-1分子筛.此类方法往往需要辅助以大量有机胺等结构导向剂;胶态TS-1前驱体的制备需要特别小心以保证晶种中Ti的四配位状态,通常需要经历低温水解钛酸四丁酯(TBOT)和高温加热除醇等繁琐步骤.而胶态纯硅silicalite-1制备则相对简单,且已广泛用于导向合成同样具有MFI结构的ZSM-5沸石,但目前鲜有以silicalite-1做晶种合成TS-1分子筛的报道.基于此,本文以纯硅胶态silicalite-1为晶种,以氨水做碱源,辅助以少量TPABr做导向剂,合成了小晶粒TS-1分子筛,并以正己烯环氧化和环己酮氨肟化做探针反应考察了所得TS-1分子筛的催化氧化性能. X射线衍射结果表明,当晶种中SiO2占合成体系中SiO2的10 wt%(晶种引入TPAOH, TPAOH/SiO2=0.35),加入TPABr (TPABr/SiO2=0.03)做辅助结构导向剂,即合成体系中总(TPAOH+TPABr)/SiO2摩尔比低至0.07时,所得样品依然具有良好的结晶度.扫描电镜照片观察不到无定形物存在;晶种中SiO2占合成体系中SiO2的10 wt%时,所得TS-1晶粒尺寸约为250 nm ×150 nm ×50 nm;其他条件不变,胶态晶种用量增加到15 wt%时,初级晶粒尺寸基本保持不变,晶粒-晶粒之间交叉生长,形成孪生形貌;继续增加胶态晶种用量至20 wt%时,晶粒尺寸下降至仅100 nm左右;而用20 wt%胶态晶种所含相同量的TPAOH来代替胶态晶种,得到样品呈近10μm的大块状.与之对应的是,胶态silicalite-1晶种导向得到的小晶粒TS-1分子筛具有比直接用TPAOH得到的大块状样品更大的外比表面积和堆积孔体积.分析结果显示所得TS-1分子筛的体相TiO2/SiO2比在41–43.红外光谱和紫外可见光谱结果表明,胶态晶种导向法所得TS-1分子筛中的Ti主要以四配位状态存在,而直接用TPAOH合成的大块状样品则呈现显著骨架外Ti吸收峰,说明胶态晶种有助于Ti物种进入分子筛骨架.在催化正己烯环氧化反应时,用胶态silicalite-1晶种导向得到的小晶粒TS-1分子筛表现出与大块状TS-1相似的催化性能;而以环己酮氨肟化做探针反应时,小晶粒TS-1分子筛因具有外比表面积大和扩散路径短等优点而表现出远远高于大块状TS-1分子筛的催化活性.但与文献报道的相同SiO2/TiO2比的TS-1分子筛比较,本文所得小晶粒TS-1分子筛催化正己烯环氧化的活性略差.提高该小晶粒TS-1分子筛正己烯环氧化活性和建立构-效关系是下一步工作的重点.     

Transport Properties of Ethane, Butanes and Their Binary Mixtures in MFI-Type Zeolite and Zeolite-Membrane Samples

Transport properties of ethane, butane and their binary mixtures in large crystals of silicalite-1, ZSM-5, and an MFI-zeolite membrane as well as agglomerates (pellets) of silicalite zeolites have been investigated by the Zero Length Column (ZLC) method. It was found that in the large crystals of silicalite-1 and ZSM-5, and in the membrane sample desorption of iso-butane was controlled by micropore diffusion, while in the case of pelleted silicalite sample it was controlled by macropore diffusion. The effective thickness of the zeolite membrane can be reasonably evaluated by comparing the diffusivity data obtained from the ZLC and gas permeation measurements. Desorption of ethane and n-butane in the large crystals of silicalite-1 and ZSM-5 and the membrane sample is attributed to both equilibrium effects and micropore diffusion. The diffusivity of ethane is significantly reduced in the presence of iso-butane giving rise to a micropore diffusion-controlled process. Furthermore, diffusion of iso-butane in the zeolite samples is affected by the counter flow of ethane.     

Preparation and characterization of alumina supported silicalite membranes by sol–gel hydrothermal method

Two types of unsupported zeolites (silicalite-1 and silicalite-2) and porous alumina discs supports were prepared by the hydrothermal sol–gel synthesis method. The influence of the raw materials used as SiO₂ source, the temperature of the thermal treatment and the presence of the ceramic support on the crystallization of zeolites were studied. The reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR spectroscopy (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. The SiO₂ source had a significant effect on the final zeolite obtained: the use of colloidal silica sol (ZCS) as SiO₂ source in the synthesis led to ZSM-11 (silicalite-2) crystals, while the sodium silicate solution (ZSS) produced the ZSM-5 (silicalite-1) type. The presence of the alumina support influences the crystallization process of ZSM-5, as it improves nucleation and the ordering of the crystals.     

Beckmann rearrangement of 15N-cyclohexanone oxime on zeolites silicalite-1, H-ZSM-5, and H-[B]ZSM-5 studied by solid-state NMR spectroscopy

By means of solid-state 15N NMR spectroscopy, evidence for the formation of nitrilium ions as intermediates of the Beckmann rearrangement of 15N-cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon-caprolactam on silicalite-1, H-ZSM-5, and H-[B]ZSM-5 is reported. The zeolites under study are characterized by different acid strengths (silicalite-1 < H-[B]ZSM-5 < H-ZSM-5). Depending on the nature of catalytically active surface OH groups, reactant and product molecules exist in the nonprotonated or protonated state. In addition, formation of byproducts such as 5-cyano-1-pentene and epsilon-aminocapric acid as a result of dehydration and hydrolysis of the reactant and product molecules, respectively, were observed.     

Effect of aging temperature of alkaline aluminosilicate and silicate gels on the kinetics of crystallization of zeolite ZSM-5 and silicalite-1

The temperature dependences of nucleation of zeolite ZSM-5 and silicalite-I pass through extrema in the range from 110 °C to 120 °C. Despite having the same crystalline structures, zeolite ZSM-5 has a maximum and silicalite-1 has a minimum of nucleation in the temperature range mentioned. A method for preparation of single crystals of silicalite-1 up to 150 m in size has been developed. The comparison of the curves of the temperature dependences of nucleation for zeolites Na-X, Na-A, and ZSM-5 shows that the positions of the maxima on these curves are determined by the type of the crystal structure of zeolite.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Adsorption of water and ethanol in MFI-type zeolites

Water and ethanol vapor adsorption phenomena are investigated systematically on a series of MFI-type zeolites: silicalite-1 samples synthesized via both alkaline (OH(-)) and fluoride (F(-)) routes, and ZSM-5 samples with different Si/Al ratios as well as different charge-balancing cations. Full isotherms (0.05-0.95 activity) over the range 25-55 °C are presented, and the lowest total water uptake ever reported in the literature is shown for silicalite-1 made via a fluoride-mediated route wherein internal silanol defects are significantly reduced. At a water activity level of 0.95 (35 °C), the total water uptake by silicalite-1 (F(-)) was found to be 0.263 mmol/g, which was only 12.6%, 9.8%, and 3.3% of the capacity for silicalite-1 (OH(-)), H-ZSM-5 (Si/Al:140), and H-ZSM-5 (Si/Al:15), respectively, under the same conditions. While water adsorption shows distinct isotherms for different MFI-type zeolites due to the difference in the concentration, distribution, and types of hydrophilic sites, the ethanol adsorption isotherms present relatively comparable results because of the overall organophilic nature of the zeolite framework. Due to the dramatic differences in the sorption behavior with the different sorbate-sorbent pairs, different models are applied to correlate and analyze the sorption isotherms. An adsorption potential theory was used to fit the water adsorption isotherms on all MFI-type zeolite adsorbents studied. The Langmuir model and Sircar's model are applied to describe ethanol adsorption on silicalite-1 and ZSM-5 samples, respectively. An ideal ethanol/water adsorption selectivity (α) was estimated for the fluoride-mediated silicalite-1. At 35 °C, α was estimated to be 36 for a 5 mol % ethanol solution in water increasing to 53 at an ethanol concentration of 1 mol %. The adsorption data demonstrate that silicalite-1 made via the fluoride-mediated route is a promising candidate for ethanol extraction from dilute ethanol-water solutions.     

Creation of hollow zeolite architectures by controlled desilication of Al-zoned ZSM-5 crystals

Hollow zeolite architectures on different length scales have been obtained upon controlled desilication of Al-zoned ZSM-5 zeolites in alkaline medium. The hollow ZSM-5 crystals possess a functional Al-rich exterior and a tunable internal porosity and accessibility.     

Confined space synthesis. A novel route to nanosized zeolites

Confined space synthesis is a novel method in zeolite synthesis. It involves crystallization of the zeolite inside the pore system of an inert mesoporous matrix. In this way it is possible to prepare nanosized zeolites with a controlled size distribution by proper choice of the inert matrix. Here, confined space synthesis was adopted to prepare nanosized ZSM-5, zeolite Beta, zeolite X, and zeolite A with tailored crystal size distributions using mesoporous carbon blacks as inert matrices. All zeolites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption prior to and after removal of the carbon matrix. ZSM-5 with Si/Al ratios of 50, 100, and infinity (silicalite-1) were synthesized with controlled average crystal sizes in the range 20-75 nm. Nanosized zeolite Beta (7-30 nm), zeolite X (22-60 nm), and zeolite A (25-37 nm) were prepared similarly. Removal of the carbon matrix by controlled combustion allows a convenient method for isolation of the pure and highly crystalline zeolites. Therefore, confined space synthesis appears to be an attractive method for preparation of zeolites with a controlled size distribution.     

Availability and interconnectivity of pores in mesostructured ZSM-5 zeolites by the adsorption and diffusion of mesitylene

Probing the mesopore architecture in mesoporous zeolites is of importance for large scale applications of the materials. In this work, the adsorption and diffusion of mesitylene with larger molecule size in mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites were carried out, in order to acquaint the availability and interconnectivity of mesopores in zeolite crystals. The comparisons of the shape of adsorption isotherms and the mesopore volume calculated from mesitylene and N₂ adsorption in mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites with different mesoporosities can be used to discriminate two cases of mesopores: accessible mesopores connected to external surface of the zeolite crystals and non-accessible meso-voids that are occluded in the microporous matrix. Furthermore, the effective diffusivity and activation energy of mesitylene in mesoporous ZSM-5 extracted from ZLC desorption curves as a function of mesopore volume calculated from mesitylene adsorption reveal the enhancement of mesopore interconnectivity to molecule diffusion in zeolite crystals.     

由纳米晶前驱体组装有序介孔silicalite-1分子筛

采用两步法将不同尺寸的silicalite-1分子筛纳米晶种通过自组装合成了一系列有序介孔silicalite-1分子筛。首先将强碱性的silicalite-1前驱体分别加热不同时间得到纳米晶种,然后在类似合成SBA-15的强酸性条件下组装成有序的介孔材料。合成条件的剧烈变化阻止了分子筛晶种的继续长大,并在三嵌段共聚物模板的诱导下组装成有序介孔材料。这种“自下而上”的方法制备有序介孔分子筛同时包含微孔和介孔。氮气吸脱附结果表明所制备的介孔分子筛材料均表现了很大的比表面积(730 m2/g以上)。     

Effect of aging of highly siliceous Y- and ZSM-5-type zeolites by IR spectroscopic data

The changes in the structure of highly siliceous Y- and ZSM-5-type zeolites during prolonged aging in air have been RAW by IR spectroscopy. M relatively low (<20) Si/Al ratios, gradual improvement of the zeolite structure is observed, which is related to ordering of the cationic and anionic sublattices. As a rule, this is accompanied by symmetrization of the tetrahedral framework units and decrease of the excessive negative charge of the framework. At higher Si/Al ratios, the zeolitc structure transforms into stable crystalline silica modifications, -cristobalite (in the case of highly siliceous analogs of Y zeolite) and -quartz (in the case of ZSM-5-type zeolites).The samples of zeolite ZSM-5 and silicalite-1 studied were kindly provided by IL. Kubelkova (Ya. Geirovsky) Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Czech Republic).Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp, 39–43, January, 1996.
