Fine Dry Grinding of Zeolite in a Laboratory Ball Mill

This paper presents the importance and usage of natural zeolites, which was recently recognized in the industry. Therefore, the grinding properties of natural zeolite were studied with the emphasis on a kinetic study in a ball mill. The experimental mill employed was laboratory sized, 200 mm diameter, 191 mm length, providing a total mill volume of 6000 cm³, with a total mass of 5.62 kg of steel balls of 25 mm diameter with a charge of 20% of the mill volume and with a rotation speed of 76 rpm. The breakage parameters were determined by using single sized feed fractions of ?850+600 μm, ?600+425 μm, and ?425+300 μm for the zeolite samples. The S_i (specific rate of breakage) and B_{i, j} (primary breakage distribution) values were obtained for those feed size fractions in order to predict the product size distributions by simulation for comparison to the experimental data. From the experimental results, S_i values increased as the feed sizes became coarser, i.e., the highest S_i value was 0.85 min^?1 for ?850+600 μm, while the lowest S_i value was 0.65 min^?1 for ?425+300 μm feed ground in the mill. The B_{i, j} values obtained for the zeolite sample were γ=0.84, ?=0.61, and β=4.25. The breakage parameters obtained showed that the zeolite is broken faster than quartz and slower than calcite and barite in terms of the a_T values reported previously at the same experimental conditions. The simulations of the product size distributions of zeolite were in good agreement with the experimental data using a standard ball mill simulation program. The slowing‐down effect was also seen in the mill after 4 min. of grinding.     

超稳Y沸石制备技术对沸石铝分布的影响 Ⅱ.均匀铝分布的超稳Y沸石的制备

对水热处理后得到的USY沸石作进一步的酸处理以及采用改进的氟硅酸盐溶液骨架富硅工艺,分别得到了经XPS剖面分析证实为铝分布均匀的超稳Y沸石HAY-Ⅰ和HAY-Ⅱ。IR分析表明,在酸处理过程中从USY沸石中去掉的那部分非骨架铝类与3690cm~(-1)处羟基有关,仍残留在HAY-Ⅰ沸石中的那部分非骨架铝类与3670cm~(-1)和3600cm~(-1)处羟基有关。XRD和化学分析表明HAY-Ⅰ沸石仍含有约50％的非骨架铝类,而HAY-Ⅱ沸石则基本上不含非骨架铝类,HAY-Ⅱ沸石还显示更高的结晶保留度。DTA分析表明,HAY-Ⅰ和HAY-Ⅱ两种沸石的热稳定性均高于USY沸石。     

Production of oxygen enriched air by rapid pressure swing adsorption

A novel rapid pressure swing adsorption (RPSA) process is described for production of 25–50% oxygen enriched air. The embodiment consists of one or more pairs of adsorbent layers contained in a single adsorption vessel. The layers undergo simultaneous pressurization-adsorption and simultaneous depressurization-purge steps. A total cycle time of 6–20 seconds is used. The process yields a very large specific oxygen production rate and a reasonable oxygen recovery for production of 20–50 mole% oxygen enriched gas.It is demonstrated by a simple mathematical model of isothermal single adsorbate pressure swing ad(de)sorption concept on a single adsorbent particle that the specific production rate of a PSA process cannot be indefinitely increased by reducing the cycle time of operation when adsorbate mass transfer resistances are finite.     

新型重整催化剂的研究—Pt／BaKL型沸石中钡的作用

本文采用XRD,NH_3-TPD,IR以及TEM等方法考察了Pt/BaKL沸石中Ba~(2+)的作用。NH_3-TPD结果表明,交换Ba~(2+)后的L型沸石的酸性,由于阳离子的作用仅在弱酸范围内有些改变,但与载铂的沸石的催化活性无明显的对应关系。IR及XRD谱线表明,BaKL沸石中Ba~(2+)在最佳交换度(26.3%)时,随预培烧温度的提高,使Ba~(2+)处于沸石孔道中B、C、D位置,接近于最佳分布,此时IR谱线上1421cm~(-1)处有一新峰。当沸石负载铂后,因铂与Ba~(2+)的相互作用,新峰消失,导致铂粒在沸石上分布更加均匀;铂粒在1.5—3.0nm之间占有最大比例,使得Pt/BaKL沸石呈现芳构化活性及选择性高于Pt/KL沸石,分别为～98%和～95%。     

Synthesis and characterization of MCM-48 tubular membranes

MCM-48 membranes have been prepared on alumina supports of different pore sizes. A battery of characterization techniques has been used to study the physical properties and the quality of the membranes prepared. The highest quality membranes were prepared on supports with pore size of up to 60 nm. The MCM-48 membranes were tested in the separation of gas phase mixtures and a cyclohexane/O₂ selectivity higher than 270 was obtained. The selective separation of organic compounds from inert components is a result of the cooperative effects of capillary condensation in MCM-48 pores and of the specific interactions of the permeating compounds and the membrane material.     

Luminescent Properties of Zeolite Modified by Eu(III) and Tb(III) Complexes

The luminescence of the sorbates of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes on the CaA-type zeolite with derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic carbonic acids has been studied. It is shown that the luminescent materials obtained can be used as light regulators and transformers which absorb energy in the UV spectral region and transform it into visible radiation.     

Nitrous Oxide Adsorption and Decomposition on Zeolites and Zeolite-like Materials

Decomposition of N₂O on modified zeolites, crystalline titanosilicalites, and related amorphous systems is studied by the catalytic and spectroscopic methods. Zinc-containing HZSM-5 zeolites and titanosilicalites with moderate Ti/Si ratios are shown to exhibit a better catalytic performance in N₂O decomposition as compared with conventionally used Cu/HZSM-5 zeolites and amorphous Cu-containing catalysts. Dehydroxylation of the HZSM-5 zeolite by calcination at 1120 K results in an enhancement of the N₂O conversion. The mechanism of the reaction and the role of coordinatively unsaturated cations and Lewis acid sites in N₂O decomposition are discussed on the basis of the spectroscopic data.

采用沸石合成法制备了ＭＬ／Ｙ（Ｍ＝ Ｆｅ,Ｃｏ,Ｃｒ;Ｌ＝ ８－ ｑｕｉｎｏｌｉｎｏｌａｎｄ ｓａｌｉｃｙｌｉｃ ａｃｉｄ （ｄｅｎｏｔｅｄ ａｓＱｘ ａｎｄ ＳＡｒｅｓｐｅｃｔｉｖｅｌｙ）） 复合材料,并通过ＸＲＤ、ＦＴＩＲ、ＩＣＰ、ＵＶ－ ｖｉｓ 及催化反应等手段对其进行了表征。ＦＴＩＲ和ＵＶ－ ｖｉｓ 测试结果表明： 合成体系中含有的金属配合物经过水热晶化后封装或固定在分子筛的空腔中。通过Ｘ射线衍射原位跟踪Ｙ型分子筛的晶化过程,发现合成体系中含有金属配合物的性质及其量的多少不仅对Ｙ型分子筛的晶化有很大影响,而且使其封装或固定在分子筛中的量也有所差异。另外,以环己烷氧化为探针反应考察了ＭＬ／Ｙ的催化性能,结果表明ＭＬ／Ｙ的氧化能力来自于所封装或固定的金属配合物,其氧化能力主要取决于配合物中心离子的性质     

Influence of ion-exchange and impregnation modification of zeolite X on its catalytic properties in the alkylation of toluene with methanol

The dependence of the activity and selectivity of ion-exchanged forms of zeolite X with incorporated cesium process in alkylation of toluene with methanol in the side chain on the nature of the ion-exchanged cations (Na⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺) has been established. It is shown that introduction of Mg²⁺ and Zn²⁺ in combination with Cs₂CO₃ significantly increased the yields of ethylbenzene and styrene in comparison with their yields on alkali forms of zeolite X. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 33–38, January–February, 2006.     

Cu-Mn-Zn/Y直接合成二甲醚催化剂中锌和锰的协同调节作用

通过对Y型分子筛负载Cu-Mn、Cu-Zn和Cu-Mn-Zn催化剂的结构、表面性质及其直接合成二甲醚反应活性的对比,发现Mn和Zn对催化剂还原性能的影响作用相反,对催化剂吸附H₂和CO的影响也不同。Mn和Zn的单独添加或共同添加引起催化剂结构和组分之间相互作用程度的改变,是造成催化剂活性和选择性变化的主要原因。两者的协同作用,能调整催化剂的还原性能和吸附性能达到适合的状态,从而使得催化剂具有高的二甲醚合成活性。
