Synthesis and Applications of SAPO-34 Molecular Sieves

Silicoaluminophosphate zeolite (SAPO-34) has been attracting increasing attention due to its excellent form selection and controllability in the chemical industry, as well as being one of the best industrial catalysts for methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction conversion. However, as a microporous molecular sieve, SAPO-34 easily generates carbon deposition and rapidly becomes inactivated. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the crystal size of the zeolite or to introduce secondary macropores into the zeolite crystal to form a hierarchical structure in order to improve the catalytic effect. In this review, the synthesis methods of conventional SAPO-34 molecular sieves, hierarchical SAPO-34 molecular sieves and nanosized SAPO-34 molecular sieves are introduced, and the properties of the synthesized SAPO-34 molecular sieves are described, including the phase, morphology, pore structure, acid source, and catalytic performance, in particular with respect to the synthesis of hierarchical SAPO-34 molecular sieves. We hope that the review can provide guidance to the preparation of the SAPO-34 catalysts, and stimulate the future development of high-performance hierarchical SAPO-34 catalysts to meet the growing demands of the material and chemical industries.     

离子液体修饰对Cu/USY催化乙炔氢氯化反应性能的影响

为了提高Cu/USY催化剂在乙炔氢氯化反应中的催化活性,设计并成功制备了一系列离子液体修饰的分子筛负载的铜基催化剂(Cu@TPPB/USY).当铜和TPPB的百分含量均为15时,在反应温度为160℃,乙炔气体空速为120 h-1,氯化氢与乙炔的摩尔比为1.25:1的条件下,催化剂的乙炔转化率提升了1.17倍,氯乙烯选择性一直保持在98%以上.结合催化剂的傅里叶红外(FT-IR)、 N2物理吸脱附(BET)、热重分析(TG)、 X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电镜(TEM)、 X射线衍射(XRD)、氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR)和等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)的表征,认为TPPB的修饰不仅可以促进催化剂中Cu物种的分散,抑制其还原和流失,还能减少催化剂表面积碳、增强Cu活性物种与载体间的相互作用力,有效地提高Cu/USY催化剂的催化活性.     

Multipore Zeolites: Synthesis and Catalytic Applications

In the last few years, important efforts have been made to synthesize so‐called “multipore” zeolites, which contain channels of different dimensions within the same crystalline structure. This is a very attractive subject, since the presence of pores of different sizes would favor the preferential diffusion of reactants and products through those different channel systems, allowing unique catalytic activities for specific chemical processes. In this Review we describe the most attractive achievements in the rational synthesis of multipore zeolites, containing small to extra‐large pores, and the improvements reported for relevant chemical processes when these multipore zeolites have been used as catalysts.     

Mg/Ce-SBA-15的制备及其苯酚甲醇烷基化性能的研究

以Ce-SBA-15为载体,硝酸镁为活性组分前驱体,通过浸渍法制备了Mg/Ce-SBA-15催化剂。利用XRD、N₂吸附-脱附、SEM、EDS、NH₃-TPD、Py-FTIR和TG-DTA手段对催化剂进行表征。结果表明,Mg掺杂并未破坏载体结构,催化剂表面弱酸含量有所增加,L酸增加明显。在固定床反应器中评价了Mg/Ce-SBA-15分子筛催化苯酚甲醇烷基化的反应性能。结果表明,Mg负载量为7%、焙烧温度为550℃、焙烧时间为4.5 h制备的Mg/Ce-SBA-15催化剂催化效果最佳。在反应温度460℃,n（苯酚）：n（甲醇）为1：4,质量空速为3.0 h^-1,常压的条件下,苯酚转化率为80.1%,邻甲酚选择性为86.4%。

Towards the Rational Design of Efficient Organic Structure‐Directing Agents for Zeolite Synthesis

Zeolites are crystalline microporous materials with application in diverse fields, especially in catalysis. The ability to prepare zeolites with targeted physicochemical properties for a specific catalytic application is a matter of great interest, because it allows the efficiency of the entire chemical process to be increased (higher product yields, lower undesired by‐products, less energy consumption, and cost savings, etc). Nevertheless, directing the zeolite crystallization towards the material with the desired framework topology, crystal size, or chemical composition is not an easy task, since several variables influence the nucleation and crystallization processes. The combination of accumulated knowledge, rationalization, and innovation has allowed the synthesis of unique zeolitic structures in the last few years. This is especially true in terms of the design of organic and inorganic structure‐directing agents (SDAs). In this Minireview we will present the rationale we have followed in our studies to synthesize new zeolite structures, while putting this in perspective with the advances made by other researchers of the zeolite community.     

Structure-Directing Roles of Organic Molecules in the Formation of Aluminosilicate and Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieves Revealed by 2D 1H DQ-SQ NMR Spectroscopy

Understanding of crystallization mechanisms of molecular sieves is driven by the broad range of usefulness and unique properties they possess. It is still difficult to obtain information related to the crystallization mechanism of molecular sieves, partly because the materials are generally prepared under hydrothermal conditions and the whole reaction happens in the “black box” autoclave. In this work, 2D ¹H DQ-SQ NMR results clearly demonstrate that it is not only the electrostatic interactions between organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) and the framework, but also the correlation among OSDAs playing the dominant structural directing roles during the crystallization process. Our fundamental understanding of the crystallization mechanism of molecular sieves could be of great value to design and synthesize new molecular sieves with desirable structural properties.     

A Direct and Rapid Route to Synthesize Pd/Si‐MCM‐41 at Room Temperature

The pure silica mesoporous molecular sieve MCM‐41 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Pd/Si‐MCM‐41 was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation of pure silica MCM‐41 with mixed solution of PdCl₂, ethanol and CH₂Cl₂. The samples were characterized by x‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms at 77 K. The XRD and TEM results reveal that Pd is actually anchored inside the pores of Si‐MCM‐41 and the Si‐MCM‐41 structure is clearly maintained after impregnation.
