利用双模板剂的多级孔ZSM-11分子筛的合成、表征和催化性能（英文）

ZSM-11与ZSM-5分子筛具有相似的孔道结构,通常表现出相似的催化性能,但近年来的研究发现,ZSM-11分子筛在某些反应过程具有明显优于ZSM-5的催化性能,因而逐渐引起科研界和工业界的广泛重视.但受其微孔尺寸的限制,在使用过程中往往容易积碳,并导致快速失活.为此,向微孔体系引入介孔制备多级孔ZSM-11分子筛是一种规避上述问题的有效方式.我们研究组前期已对分子筛进行碱处理脱硅及在该体系中加入CTAB制备多级孔分子筛进行了系统研究.在此基础上本文通过改变介孔模板剂十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)和微孔模板剂四丁基溴化铵(TBABr)的摩尔比(R),采用一步法制备了一系列多级孔ZSM-11分子筛材料,并通过多种表征手段对材料的性质进行了系统研究.随着R值的增加,广角XRD测试结果表明,产物的结晶度逐渐下降,同时小角XRD测试结果表明产物中逐渐产生有序介孔相;XRF测试结果表明,产物的总包硅铝比呈上升趋势;SEM表征结果表明,首先棒状纳米晶团聚体形貌的ZSM-11分子筛的晶粒尺寸逐渐降低,随后晶粒之间插入无定形样品,直至最终产物几乎完全为无定形材料构成;TEM图片与上述表征结果一致,样品初始晶格条纹清晰且晶粒边缘规整,随后晶粒边缘开始弯曲不平,接着晶体样品中开始产生有序介孔材料,最终几乎完全变为有序介孔材料.综合上述表征结果和相关文献可推测,该有序介孔材料为类MCM-41材料.另外,我们采用N_2物理吸附对材料的织构性质进行了考察,发现随着R值增大,产物的微孔减少,介孔增多.然而TEM结果表明,在类MCM-41产生之前,样品中介孔的增多并非来源于晶内孔,而是来源于晶粒之间的堆积孔,这是由于在合成过程中CTAB胶束嵌入ZSM-11的晶粒之间所导致.合成体系的碱度对产物的物化性质和织构性质也起了非常重要的作用.我们将这个体系与NaOH+CTAB对分子筛进行脱硅后处理体系进行了对比,发现虽然前者只能产生晶间孔而后者可产生晶内孔,但碱度对两者的作用相似,即降低碱度均可导致类MCM-41有序介孔相的产生.此外,还通过NH_3-TPD和Py-IR技术对材料的酸性进行了考察.基于上述研究结果,提出了多级孔ZSM-11分子筛的形成机理.随着R值的变化,CTAB分别起了覆盖效应、胶束效应和模板效应.这些效应在合成多级孔ZSM-11分子筛过程中相互协同,同时又与TBABr的结构导向效应相互竞争,进而影响合成产物的孔结构、形貌、酸性以及用于二甲醚和苯烷基化的催化性能.

Effect of ZSM-11 crystallinity on its catalytic performance in benzene to phenol oxidation with nitrous oxide

Evolution of ZSM-11 zeolite crystal and pore structure has been studied at 150°C depending on the synthesis time.

特殊形貌类雪花状ZSM-5分子筛的合成、表征及甲醇制烯烃催化性能(英文)

美国Mobil公司于1972年首先开发的ZSM-5分子筛是一种高硅三维交叉孔道的沸石分子筛,其孔道结构具有良好的择形作用,因此被广泛应用于芳构化、异构化、烷基化和催化裂化等工业催化过程.ZSM-5分子筛的催化性能与其晶粒尺寸、酸性及形貌等密切相关.改变合成方法和制备参数可以合成出不同形貌的ZSM-5分子筛,但目前关于ZSM-5分子筛形貌对其物理化学性质和催化性能的影响报道较少.本文通过改变模板剂类型,采用水热合成法,制备出了类雪花状、椭圆柱状和夹心糖状三种不同形貌的ZSM-5分子筛.通过X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、N_2物理吸脱附(BET)、扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、固体核磁共振(MAS NMR)、NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)及吸附吡啶的红外光谱(Py-IR)等手段对不同形貌分子筛的物理化学性质、形貌、晶体骨架结构和酸性进行了表征.采用浸渍法制备了Ca/HZSM-5催化剂,以甲醇制烯烃(MTO)为探针反应、着重研究了ZSM-5分子筛形貌和晶体结构特性对其酸性和催化性能的影响.合成的三种不同形貌的ZSM-5分子筛具有相近的SiO_2/Al_2O_3比和比表面积.XRD结果表明,通过改变模板剂类型,可制得结晶度较好的ZSM-5分子筛,其中类雪花状分子筛的(101)晶面比例明显多于其它两种分子筛,而椭圆柱状分子筛则暴露更多的(020)晶面.~(27)Al MAS NMR结果表明,绝大部分Al都以四配位形式存在于三种分子筛骨架中,而类雪花状分子筛的峰强度较低,这是由于Al的配位环境不同(偶极作用弱),说明在类雪花状分子筛的交叉晶面中存在大量扭曲、错位和不对称结构;与其它两种分子筛相比,类雪花状分子筛的~(29)Si MAS NMR谱峰宽化、进一步证明该分子筛骨架结构中存在扭曲、错位和不对称性.NH_3-TPD结果表明,类雪花状HZSM-5分子筛的酸量明显高于其它两种分子筛,在SiO_2/Al_2O_3比相近的情况下、类雪花状HZSM-5分子筛晶体骨架结构的错位、扭曲和不对称性造成了该分子筛中酸量增加;但Py-IR结果表明,类雪花状HZSM-5分子筛的酸量低于其它两种分子筛,这与NH_3-TPD结果有差异,主要是由于类雪花状分子筛几何空间结构和晶界处的扭曲、错位对孔道结构的影响,不利于比NH_3分子大的吡啶分子的扩散,进而影响了吡啶分子在酸性位上的吸附.三种不同形貌的ZSM-5分子筛经Ca改性后比表面积和微孔比表面积均明显下降,其中类雪花状和椭圆柱状催化剂的微孔比表面积下降幅度较大,外比表面积下降幅度较小.这是因为各分子筛的晶体结构和晶面的取向差异,导致Ca离子在分子筛上的扩散行为不同.同时,经Ca改性后,三个催化剂的总酸量均有下降,尤其是类雪花状分子筛酸量下降较为明显,表明其中Ca离子更容易扩散到分子筛孔道内,与更多的酸性位作用,而夹心糖状分子筛表面具有更多的Z字形孔道,不利于Ca离子扩散到分子筛孔道内,因而酸量下降较少.Py-IR结果表明,Ca改性后催化剂的总酸量下降,尤其是B酸明显降低,L酸略有增加,其中类雪花状ZSM-5分子筛催化剂的B酸量最低.甲醇制烯烃反应评价结果表明,随着反应温度升高,三个催化剂的总烯选择性和丙烯选择性均呈先升高后降低的趋势.类雪花状ZSM-5分子筛催化剂在甲醇转化率相近时具有最高的烯烃选择性,在反应温度为460℃时,总烯烃选择性为72%,丙烯选择性达39%.     

无粘结剂ZSM-11催化剂上异丁烯直接胺化生成叔丁胺

叔丁胺是一种重要的化工原料和中间体,广泛应用于制备橡胶促进剂、医药、农药和着色剂等下游产品.异丁烯在分子筛催化剂上直接胺化生产叔丁胺是一个经济环保过程,其中ZSM-5和BEA分子筛的催化性能优于其它系列分子筛.ZSM-11与ZSM-5分子筛具有相似的孔道结构,我们以前的实验结果表明,与ZSM-5相比,ZSM-11表现出更优越的芳构化反应性能,在干气中乙烯低温芳构化方面也有明显优势.在此基础上,我们进行无粘结剂ZSM-11分子筛催化剂合成,并应用于异丁烯直接胺化生产叔丁胺反应.传统水热技术合成的分子筛通常为粉末,机械强度不能达到实际应用的要求,在工业化过程中分子筛粉末一般需要加入粘结剂成型使其具备一定的机械强度和形状,但是粘结剂会降低分子筛催化剂的活性和选择性,有可能会引发一些副反应,因此无粘结剂分子筛催化剂引起人们广泛关注.无粘结剂分子筛是指分子筛颗粒中不含惰性粘结剂或只含有少量粘结剂,主要依靠分子筛晶粒间的相互作用支撑存在,具有一定形状、尺寸和机械强度的催化材料.无粘结剂分子筛催化剂中分子筛含量较高,可利用的有效表面积较大,在离子交换及工业催化等方面具有明显优势.本文采用水热合成的ZSM-11分子筛原粉与二氧化硅机械混合(ZSM-11/SiO2=70/30)挤条后,通过气固相合成法制备了无粘结剂ZSM-11分子筛催化剂(Cat-C).作为对比,还分别制备了ZSM-11和SiO2机械混合(ZSM-11/SiO2=70/30)样品HZSM-11+SiO2及ZSM-11和氧化铝机械混合(ZSM-11/Al2O3=70/30)样品HZSM-11+Al2O3.利用X射线衍射、透射电镜、NH3程序升温脱附和吸附吡啶红外光谱等对分子筛催化剂的物理化学性能进行了表征.同时,以这些分子筛样品为催化剂,在固定床反应装置上进行了异丁烯胺化反应评价,反应条件为270℃,5.0 MPa,氨烯比为4和异丁烯空速0.5 h?1.结果表明,与HZSM-11+SiO2和HZSM-11+Al2O3相比,Cat-C上叔丁胺生成速率最高.关联催化剂物化性能和反应性能发现,催化剂孔道结构与叔丁胺生成并不存在明显的关联性,而较多的Br?nsted酸和较少的Lewis酸才是Cat-C具有良好反应性能的主要原因.具有一定机械强度的无粘结剂ZSM-11分子筛催化剂制备简单,在异丁烯直接胺化过程中叔丁胺生成速率高,具有很好的工业化应用前景.     

Synthesis of ZSM-5 aggregates by a seed-induced method and catalytic performance in methanol-to-gasoline conversion

A seed-induced method was applied to synthesize a series of ZSM-5 aggregates using silicalite-1 (S-1) as seeds. The samples were characterized by several techniques and studied in the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) conversion reaction in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that the molar ratios of Na₂O/SiO₂ and H₂O/SiO₂ in the precursors had great effects on the physicochemical and catalytic properties. The ZSM-5 aggregates with the highest crystallinity, external surface areas, micropore volumes, mesopore volumes and small primary crystal and aggregate sizes, obtained with the molar composition of 0.12Na₂O–1SiO₂–0.02Al₂O₃–25H₂O-0.01Seed in the precursor, exhibited the highest stability.     

Effect of ZSM-5 zeolite morphology on the catalytic performance of the alkylation of toluene with methanol

X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray fluorescence(XRF) and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia(NH3-TPD) were used to characterize these samples. The samples were tested with toluene methylation reaction. The modified sample composed of spherical particles with 3 μm crystal particles on the surface had a para-xylene selectivity of 95% and maintained 79% of the initial conversion after running the reaction for 50 h. This modified sample showed the best stability among the tested three modified samples.     

Hierarchical ZSM-11 with intergrowth structures: Synthesis,characterization and catalytic properties

Hierarchical ZSM-11 microspheres with intercrystalline mesoporous properties and rod-like crystals intergrowth morphology have been synthesized using a spot of tetrabutylammonium as a single template. XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM and N₂ adsorption analysis revealed that each individual particle was composed of nanosized rod crystals inserting each other and the intercrystalline voids existing among rods gave a significant mesopore size distribution. Steam treatment result demonstrated the excellent hydrothermal stability of samples. Various crystallization modes including constant temperature crystallization (one-stage crystallization) and two-stage temperature-varying crystallization with different 1st stage durations were investigated. The results suggested that the crystallization modes were mainly responsible for the adjustable particle size and textural properties of samples while the small amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide was mainly used to direct the formation of both ZSM-11 framework and its intergrowth morphology. Furthermore, the performance of optimal ZSM-11 as an active component for the catalytic pyrolysis of heavy oil was also investigated. Compared with the commercial pyrolysis catalyst, the hierarchical ZSM-11 catalyst exhibited a high selectivity to desired products (LPG + gasoline + diesel), as well as a much lower dry gas and coke yield, plus a high selectivity and yield of light olefins ( ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}^{=}-{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}^{=}$) and very poor selectivity to benzene. Therefore, fully open micropore-mesopore connectivity would make such hierarchically porous ZSM-11 zeolites very attractive for applications in clean petrochemical catalysis field.

Microwave synthesis,characterization and catalytic properties of titanium-incorporated ZSM-5 zeolite

Titanium-incorporated ZSM-5 zeolites (Si/Al = 50–200 and Si/Ti = 70) were successfully synthesized in a one-step sol-gel process under microwave irradiation. The characteristics of Ti-ZSM-5 zeolites were investigated using X-ray power diffraction, UV/Vis-DRS, FT-IR spectroscopy and solid-state ²⁷Al-NMR to monitor the physico-chemical properties. Simultaneously, the acidic properties were characterized by the NH₃-TPD profile. The characterization results revealed that the Ti⁴⁺ and Al³⁺ ions were well incorporated into the framework of Ti-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prepared zeolite was moderately active but selective in the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether.     

Synthesis and characterization of a microcystalline ZSM-5 molecular sieve

H-ZSM-11 and Zn-ZSM-11 zeolites and their applications in the catalytic transformation of LDPE

Low density polyethylene was converted into hydrocarbons over Zn- and H-ZSM-11 zeolite catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor during 20 and 60 min reaction time, 0.5 and 2.0 polymer to catalyst mass ratio at 500 °C. The zeolites were synthesized by conventional techniques and characterized by XRD, pyridine FTIR and N₂ adsorption. The adsorbed pyridine spectra demonstrated that new Lewis sites were formed after Zn exchange, and that the relationship between Lewis and Brönsted sites in the Zn-ZSM-11 zeolite (3.53) was much higher than that in the H-ZSM-11 zeolite (0.09). Thermal analyses confirmed that the temperature of decomposition of the polymer can be decreased in as much as about 145 °C when the catalysts were added. As compared to the thermal degradation, the catalytic conversion produced less solid residues and much higher amounts of gas and liquid hydrocarbons. The catalysts showed different yield profiles: the H-ZSM-11 zeolite yielded more gases, while the Zn-ZSM-11 zeolite yielded more liquid products. Notably over Zn-ZSM-11 zeolite, these liquid products were mainly aromatic, and depending on experimental conditions (higher temperature, longer reaction time, smaller polymer/catalyst relationship), aromatic selectivity could be increased to almost 100%.
