Gamma‐Ray Irradiation to Accelerate Crystallization of Mesoporous Zeolites

Gamma‐ray (γ‐ray) irradiation was introduced into zeolite synthesis. The crystallization process of zeolite NaA, NaY, Silicalite‐1, and ZSM‐5 were greatly accelerated. The crystallization time of NaA zeolite was significantly decreased to 18 h under γ‐ray irradiation at 20 °C, while more than 102 h was needed for the conventional process. Unexpectedly, more mesopores were created during this process, and thus the adsorption capacity of CO₂ increased by 6‐fold compared to the NaA prepared without γ‐ray irradiation. Solid experimental evidence and density function theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that hydroxyl free radicals (OH*) generated by γ‐rays accelerated the crystallization of zeolite NaA. Besides NaA, mesoporous ZSM‐5 with MFI topology was also successfully synthesized under γ‐ray irradiation, which possessed excellent catalytic performance for methanol conversion, suggesting the universality of this new synthetic strategy for various zeolites.

Effect of sol–gel-based silica buffer layer on the formation of NaA zeolite membrane

The support substrates were modified with sol?Cgel-based silica coating as intermediate buffer layer followed by NaA zeolite seed (prepared hydrothermally at 85?°C for 3?h) coating with 2?wt% aqueous dispersion. The secondary crystallization of NaA zeolite in the silica-seed-coated supports was carried out hydrothermally through crystal growth process at 65?°C for 4 and 8?h (single-stage each), (6?+?4) and (6?+?6)?h (double-stage each), and (6?+?4?+?2) and (6?+?4?+?4)?h (triple-stage each). The crystallization behaviours of the prepared NaA membranes were studied by X-ray diffraction, and the microstructures of the same films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope. The efficiency of the membranes was tested with gas permeation study. The double-stage secondary crystallization at 65?°C for (6?+?4)?h showed highly interlocked NaA grains in the membrane and it rendered the permeance values of 3.7?×?10^?8?mol?m^?2?s^?1?Pa^?1 and 15.9?×?10^?8 for single gas, nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) respectively with the ideal selectivity of 4.3.

On the variation in the composition of zeolite NaA crystals

The conditions for crystallization of zeolite NaA, whose small cages are partially or completely (one molecule per unit cell) filled with NaAlO₂ molecules, were outlined. These molecules are occluded into cuboctahedra of zeolite NaA only during crystallization rather than during formation, aging, and modification of the initial aluminosilicate gels. Based on the data on the adsorption capacity for water in NaA zeolite samples, a small cage of this zeolite (cuboctahedron) adsorbs about four water molecules.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Anionic emulsion-directed synthesis of zeolite ZSM-5 with tunable morphology and Si/Al ratio

Zeolite ZSM-5 was synthesized for the first time in an anionic emulsion system composed of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, pentanol, cyclohexane and zeolite synthesis mixture, and subsequently characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG and N₂ adsorption techniques. It is found that altering emulsion composition and adding electrolyte can effectively change the morphologies and/or Si/Al ratios of the ZSM-5 samples. Besides the commonly seen coffin morphology, ZSM-5 particles with rare elliptic cylinder, column and ellipsoid morphologies are also obtained. Depending on the weight ratios of anionic surfactant and zeolite reaction mixture, the framework Si/Al ratios of ZSM-5 samples vary slightly. Investigations on the crystallization process further show the emulsion system can induce rapid crystallization by virtue of shortening the induction time. The ways that the emulsion system affects zeolite crystallization, framework Si/Al ratio and particle morphology are tentatively discussed.     

Synthesis and catalytic performance of ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve from palygorskite

ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve has been hydrothermally synthesized through a two-step crystallization process using palygorskite (PAL) as silicon and aluminum source. The products were characterized by various means and their catalytic properties for acetalization of cyclohexanone and esterification of acetic acid and n-butanol were also investigated. In the first step ZSM-5 zeolite could be formed from the acid-treated PAL after hydrothermal treatment using tetrapropylammonium bromide as template. XRD patterns, N₂ adsorption and desorption data, and TEM images show that the composite obtained in the secondary step had a well-ordered mesoporous MCM-41 phase and a microporous ZSM-5 zeolite phase. Compared with ZSM-5, ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite possessed more total acid amount, weak acid sites and large pore structure due to the formation of MCM-41 and exhibited higher catalytic activity for the acetalization and esterification reaction.

多级孔ZSM-5分子筛: 丰富的外表面酸中心和良好的二甲苯异构化催化性能

多级孔沸石分子筛的结构性质及其催化性能是近年来分子筛研究的热点.本文采用蒸汽辅助晶化的方法制备了多级孔ZSM-5沸石分子筛,采用NH₃程序升温脱附和原位吸附红外光谱等方法研究了其表面酸性质,用邻二甲苯异构化反应考察了其催化性能.结果表明,多级孔结构分子筛的结晶度和总酸量有所下降,但Lewis酸中心却有所增加.进一步研究发现,多级孔结构分子筛的外表面酸中心数量远高于常规分子筛,从而证实了多级孔结构可以将更多的酸中心暴露到外表面;而外表面酸中心数量的增多和扩散传质的改善是多级孔ZSM-5分子筛在邻二甲苯异构化反应中具有更高催化活性和对二甲苯产率的重要原因.

Enthalpy-entropy compensation of ionic liquid-type Gemini imidazolium surfactants in aqueous solutions: a free energy perturbation study

Hierarchical nanocrystalline ZSM-5 zeolite (NZ5) was synthesized at 100 °C under atmospheric pressure using methylamine as a mineralizing agent. The crystallization process of NZ5 was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of contrastive experiments showed that evaporation of the solvent promoted the aggregation of primary particles, and the addition of methylamine accelerated the crystallization process. The NZ5 aggregate consisted of 20 nm individual particles, as shown in scanning electron microscope (SEM). The lattice fringes in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) images and the XRD results indicated that individual particles of NZ5 were highly crystalline. N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that NZ5 had high BET surface areas with mesopores having a mean diameter of about 9 nm. NZ5 exhibited a long lifetime, a stable and high yield of liquid hydrocarbons, and a high anti-coking performance in methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction. Catalytic testing and TGA results showed that the lifetime of NZ5 was about ten times longer than that of micro-sized ZSM-5 zeolite (MZ5), and the average coking rate with NZ5 was one fifth over that of MZ5.

无溶剂法合成ZSM-5/SiC整体式催化剂制备生物燃料

传统合成整块载体负载分子筛催化剂的方法是水热法,这样往往伴随水资源浪费和釜内空间利用率低的问题.本文报道了应用无溶剂法在蜂窝结构的碳化硅(SiC)表面原位生长ZSM-5分子筛.进一步采用该法将Pd纳米粒子限域在ZSM-5分子筛内,合成Pd@ZSM-5/SiC双功能催化剂,并在油酸甲酯加氢反应中表现出较高的活性和高碳烷烃选择性.结果发现,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC表现出高选择性和耐久性,这归因于SiC优异的传质和导热特性.X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜和氮气吸附等结果表明,通过无溶剂法合成的分子筛具有很高的结晶度和纯度;高分辨透射电镜结果表明,在Pd@ZSM-5和Pd@ZSM-5/SiC催化剂中,Pd纳米粒子均被良好封装,并且粒径无明显差别,因此排除金属活性中心粒径的干扰.油酸甲酯的直接加氢脱氧/脱羧可以制备具有高附加值的长链碳氢化合物,而碳氢化合物的裂解通常会伴随着低碳化合物等副产物的生成.我们比较了两种催化剂在350-500℃的转化率和高碳烷烃的选择性差异.在相同反应条件下,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC催化剂上油酸甲酯转化率始终高于Pd@ZSM-5.例如在450℃,Pd@ZSM-5和Pd@ZSM-5/SiC的转化率分别为97.6%和78.2%,当温度提升至500℃,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC将油酸甲酯完全转化,而Pd@ZSM-5的转化率仅为88%.在350℃时,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC以脱羧反应为主,其中C17和C18的选择性分别为67.3%和20.1%,C6-12和C13-16选择性分别为2.4%和5.0%.相比之下,Pd@ZSM-5催化剂C17的选择性为39.4%,C18的选择性为13.2%,C6-12和C13-16选择性分别为20.2%和20.6%.由此可见,Pd@ZSM-5对于高附加值的长链碳氢化合物的选择性远低于Pd@ZSM-5/SiC;这可能与在Pd@ZSM-5催化剂上更容易发生烷烃裂解副反应有关.值得注意的是,虽然升高温度会促进碳氢化合物的裂解,但是在Pd@ZSM-5/SiC催化剂上高碳化合物依然较多.例如,在500℃时,裂解是Pd@ZSM-5催化剂上的主要反应,C1-5的选择性高达50.1%,C6-12的选择性高达37.0%;而在Pd@ZSM-5/SiC的产物中,C13-16的选择性为40.0%,C17-18的选择性更是高达16.7%.此外,在450℃的油酸甲酯加氢连续实验中,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC比Pd@ZSM-5表现出更好的耐久性,且催化剂失活后可以通过焙烧手段再生.上述结果表明,Pd@ZSM-5/SiC催化剂有利于加氢脱氧/脱羧反应制备有价值的高碳烃产品,更能抑制裂解副反应的进行.相比之下,传统的粉末催化剂对裂解产物仍具有较高的选择性,尤其是在较高的反应温度下.SiC载体的引入有利于高碳产物的传质,从而抑制了裂解反应.此外,碳化硅良好的导热性可以有效地防止催化剂在反应中的过热,同样有利于抑制碳氢化合物的裂解.
