Description

  The present invention relates to a structure directing agent for producing zeolite comprising N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium methyl carbonate.

  It is already known that quaternary ammonium salts of various alicyclic compounds can be used as template compounds in producing zeolite (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

  According to Patent Document 1, N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium iodide is used as a structure-directing agent (hereinafter sometimes referred to as SDA) during the synthesis of zeolite SSZ-13. Synthetic examples using hydride, N-methyl-3-quinuclidinol iodide, or N, N, N-trimethyl-2-ammonium exonorbornane are shown, but N, N, N-trimethyl-1 -It has been reported that SSZ-13 can be obtained well when adamantane ammonium iodide is used.

  According to Patent Document 2, when N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium salt is used as a structure directing agent, SSZ-13, SSZ-24, and SSZ-25, respectively, are used in addition to SSZ-13. It has also been reported that it can be obtained.

  Similarly, it has been reported that zeolite SSZ-62 can be obtained using N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium salt (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  Furthermore, a method for producing SSZ-23 using N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium salt has been reported (for example, see Patent Document 4).

  As described above, the N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium salt is extremely useful for the synthesis of zeolite having high performance as an adsorbent, a solid acid catalyst, and an adsorptive separation agent.

  On the other hand, as a method for synthesizing N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium salt, for example, according to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, 3-fold molar methyl iodide in 1-aminoadamantane in the presence of tributylamine is used. Has been disclosed to obtain N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium iodide.

  In general, zeolite synthesis usually uses a hydrothermal synthesis method using an autoclave (high pressure vessel). In the case of an aluminosilicate, first, the following (1) to (4) are mixed to prepare a gel.

  (1) Silica source (such as water glass), (2) Alumina source (such as sodium aluminate), (3) Mineralizer (such as sodium hydroxide) for dissolving Si and Al, (4) SDA.

  The prepared gel is put into an autoclave and hydrothermally synthesized at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. After the produced powder is washed with water, it is dried and calcined in air or in an inert gas to remove SDA and obtain zeolite (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 2).

  However, the advantages of synthesizing titanium-containing zeolites that do not contain corrosive halides during production have been shown. In the conventional method, it is necessary to use a container made of titanium or hastelloy (trade name), which is expensive in crystallization, in the ETS-10 manufacturing method using a corrosive halide, that is, a chloride and / or fluoride reactant. is there. It was found that if the halide could be eliminated from the reactants, the synthesis could be carried out in a more readily available and cheaper container, resulting in lower investment costs. (For example, see Patent Document 5).

  In particular, since high temperature conditions exceeding 500 ° C. may occur during firing (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4), salt or halogen ions are reduced to a level at which corrosion during firing does not cause a problem by washing after synthesis. It is necessary to let However, this requires an enormous amount of water, which is economically undesirable.

Further, F ^- in addition to the corrosion problems of synthesis also, as an example of effects have been shown in the reaction, F ^- without using synthetic methods, F ^- in comparison to the synthesis method silica 1 about per mole double product It has also been shown to produce yields (see, for example, Patent Document 6).

  On the other hand, examples of SDA not containing a halide include N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium hydroxide (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Some methyl iodide is expensive, and the obtained N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium iodide is reacted with expensive silver oxide in water to give N, N, N-trimethyl-1-adamantanammonium water. Since an oxide has been obtained, it has been difficult to provide a method for producing zeolite using a structure directing agent having good economic efficiency.

  From the above situation, it has been desired to provide a structure directing agent for zeolite production comprising N, N, N-trimethyladamantan ammonium salt, which is obtained with good economic efficiency, and a method for producing zeolite using the same.
