There have been a large amount of various natural aluminosilicate hydrochlorates, comprised many compounds, as white mica, nepheline and chabazite with clear and definite crystalline structure.When with the part Siliciumatom in the netted structure of aluminium atom exchange silicate, keep reticulated structure simultaneously, then obtain zeolite.
Except that the natural aluminosilicate hydrochlorate, also have many this synthetic products.This product can be defined or be defined by aluminium hydroxide and the physical mixture that has the silicic acid of different quantities water by crystal chemistry.Except that physical mixture, the silico-aluminate that is defined by crystal chemistry also exists.
The ordinary method for preparing this silico-aluminate is carried out clay for using silicic acid and sodium hydroxide, as kaolinic conversion.Other route of synthesis is the cogelled precipitation (as GB 2166971-C) then of aluminum hydroxide sol and silicic acid sol.The precipitation of aluminium salt also is known (as CA 848966-A) in silicic acid sol.
Aforesaid method has many disadvantages, and promptly required colloidal sol or emulsion only are present in the moment of its preparation, and the powder that subsequent drying obtains can only disperse or need solvent mixture to reach dispersion by halves.Other disadvantage is to contain basic metal or the alkaline-earth metal that is used for stablizing silicic acid in a large number with colloidal sol or emulsion that this method prepares.Purifying subsequently as ion-exchange, is incomplete and causes the basic metal or the alkaline-earth metal concentration (as US3933621) of after purifying 0.1% (equaling 1000ppm).
Heterogeneous catalysis need contain the basic metal that is less than 100ppm and/or the high purity catalyst carrier of alkaline-earth metal, preferably is less than the sodium oxide of 50ppm.The preparation of the high purity silicon aluminate of this orthosilicic acid that has used ion-exchange has been described in German patent DE 3839580-C1.The gained silico-aluminate has the high purity of expectation, but they can not disperse.
Silico-aluminate is compared aspect physical/chemical not similar with aluminium hydroxide.For example because silicic acid has stronger Lewis acid characteristic, the surface of silico-aluminate has stronger acidity.This characteristic is used for many catalytic processs, as desulfurization, denitrogenation, oxidation, hydrocracking and appropriate hydrocracking.
Current catalyzer usually contains many different solid support materials (as GB 2166971-C).Is necessary with the catalyst support material uniform mixing to obtain uniform component.Therefore, the dispersive silico-aluminate has some advantages, as is used for coating substrate.This method can be used for catalysis and material coating field.Above-mentioned explanation shows needs dispersive high purity silicon aluminate.
The purpose of this invention is to provide the method that a kind of preparation has the dispersible silico-aluminate of following advantage:
-even in drying with after changing into powder, the silico-aluminate for preparing according to the present invention is not adding organic solvent or is just handling and can be dispersed in the aqueous solution with it.
-will have high purity according to the silico-aluminate of the present invention's preparation.
-the raw material that is used to prepare above-claimed cpd will be easy to obtain.
The price of-raw material makes that this method is more economical.
-this preparation technology can be continuously or discontinuous manner implement.
