A kind of synthetic method of beta zeolite in small crystal grain
The invention relates to the synthetic method of crystal silicon-aluminate zeolite, specifically, is the synthetic method about beta zeolite in small crystal grain.
The β zeolite is (USP3,308,069) that U.S. Mobile company synthesized with classical hydrothermal crystallization method first in 1967.This zeolite has unique three-dimensional (or two dimension) pore passage structure, have very high hydrocracking, hysomer, and the catalytic activity of heavy oil cracking, behind modification or some metal constituent element of load, can be used for refining of petroleum and petrochemical process such as hydrocracking, hysomer, hydrofining and Hydrodewaxing, diesel oil pour point depression, cracking hydrocarbon, alkylation, olefin hydration.According to the disclosed method of this patent, the β zeolite is such synthetic: will contain Na
2O, Al
2O
3, TEAOH (being tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide), SiO
2Make slurries with the mixture of water, 75~200 ℃ of crystallizations are 3~60 days in autoclave.The molar ratio of this reaction system is: SiO

3=10~200, Na
2O/TEAOH=0.0~0.1, TEAOH/SiO
2=0.1~1.0, H
2O/TEAOH=20~75.Because the silicon source of adopting in this method is a silicon sol, water content is big, thereby causes template tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide large usage quantity.Therefore and organic formwork agent costs an arm and a leg, and produces β zeolite cost height with this method, is unfavorable for that it commercially produces, simultaneously again owing to entire reaction solution bulky, crystallization time is long, thereby brought the low problem of production efficiency.Do not mention the granularity of the beta-molecular sieve that synthesizes in this patent, but according to said method its granularity of synthetic molecular sieve is 300-500nm.The molecular sieve particle size reduction can improve catalyst efficiency, improves catalytic performance, is particularly suited for macromolecular catalyzed reaction.
Relevant small-particle beta-molecular sieve synthetic report has: WO93/08125 carries out the oil bath heating in flask, synthetic beta-molecular sieve, and product granularity is 70nm, but the ammonium-silicon ratio of reaction system is up to ((TEA)
2/ SiO
2) 0.279, crystallization time is 25 days.(Surface Science andCatalysis, Vol.105 p341) under the alkali free metal ion condition, synthesized beta-molecular sieve in crystallization 8-30 days to M.A.Camblor in the 60ml still, product granularity is 10-100nm, and molar ratio is SiO

About the existing more report of the synthetic method of conventional β zeolite.Exxon Corporation in 1986 disclose a kind of new synthetic β zeolite technology (EP187,522A2), i.e. " single solution is synthetic " technology.Its concrete grammar is: with SiO
2, Al
2O
3And Na
2Mix with tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide solution again after the solid material of the precursor of O mixes,, carry out crystallization under the condition that has or do not have the β zeolite seed crystal to exist at 75~150 ℃.The molar ratio of this system is SiO

2O/TEA
2O=0.01~0.1, TEA
2O/SiO
2=0.01~0.1, H

2O=25~150.Because having only tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide in the reaction system is that form with solution adds, avoided too much water to introduce system, thereby reduced the consumption of water and tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide in the building-up process, production cost and production efficiency all might be improved, but adopt this method can not obtain the small-particle β zeolite of crystal grain less than 100 nanometers.
Mobile company disclosed a kind of improved synthetic β zeolite technology (US4 again in 1989,847,055), used a kind of silicon source special, that have certain particle size in this technology, this silicon source adds precipitation agent under certain condition by soluble silicon source solution and makes.In synthetic system of zeolite, then used tetraethylammonium bromide to be template, and the solid content of synthetic system material is at least 15%, under the situation that crystal seed exists, carries out crystallization.Yet this technology is the problem of unresolved industrial-scale production also also, and this is owing to be easy to generate the large usage quantity of mordenite and ZSM-5 stray crystal, tetraethylammonium bromide in the preparation process complexity in this silicon source, crystallization system, has only the TEA of working as
2O/SiO
2>0.14 is TEAOH/SiO
2>0.28 o'clock could reduce the growing amount of stray crystal.Simultaneously, adopt this method can not obtain the small-particle β zeolite of crystal grain less than 100 nanometers.
In addition, other a series of patent (EP164 of Mobile company application, 939, US4,923,690, US5,164,169 etc.) be applicable to the β zeolite of synthesizing high-silicon aluminum ratio, but the consumption of its tetraethylammonium cation is more high than synthesizing low silicon aluminum ratio β zeolite, for example, desire synthesizing Si-Al than greater than 100 β zeolite the time, the mol ratio of tetraethylammonium cation and silicon-dioxide need are more than 0.5 in the synthetic system, top condition then will reach more than 0.7, and this just makes that the cost of high silica alumina ratio β zeolite is more high than low silica-alumina ratio beta zeolite.Adopt this method can not obtain the small-particle β zeolite of crystal grain equally less than 100 nanometers.
In order to solve the problem that exists in the aforesaid method, CN1108213A and CN1108214A have proposed a kind of new method for synthesis of beta-zeolite, it is wetting crystallization method (or claiming surperficial method of enrichment), this method adopts solid silicone as the silicon source, in the building-up process silicon source joined in the working solution of being made up of aluminium source, sodium source, tetraethylammonium cation, water and mix, make silica gel particle surface wetting, and, promptly get the β zeolite in 140~170 ℃ of following crystallizations 10~60 hours by this working solution.This method is only used a spot of water, thereby is greatly reduced the consumption of water and tetraethylammonium cation owing to adopted solid silicone to do the silicon source, has reduced production cost, has improved single-autoclave yield rate, has accelerated crystallization rate simultaneously.But adopt its product grains of this method synthetic β zeolite size>100nm.
For further reducing the synthetic cost of β zeolite, CN1154341A has disclosed a kind of fractional crystallization method, this method is on the basis of the wetting crystallization method of CN1108213A, the crystallization condition is further optimized segmentation, thereby effectively utilize template, reduce its consumption, the reaction system mol ratio is in this method: SiO

2=2.0~10.
In plant-scale actual production, even in order to make reaction system, reaction must be carried out under whipped state, and because the needs that stir, needed water content is higher in the reaction mass, has reduced the concentration of template, has influenced its service efficiency.In general, under the situation that the existence of stirring is arranged, the H of reaction system
2O/SiO
2Can not be lower than 6.5, particularly in the high silica alumina ratio β zeolite synthesis, H
2O/SiO
2Require highlyer,,, just must solve the stirring problem under the low wash water reaction system with the cost of further reduction β zeolite in order further to reduce the consumption of tetraethylammonium cation in the β zeolite synthesis process.
