Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of copper containing small-pore zeolites in a one-step synthesis.
  • Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicate materials which have very regular pore structures of molecular dimensions and which occur in numerous framework structures. They are classified by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association which defines respective framework types. The commission also assigns framework type codes consisting of three capital letters to all unique and confirmed framework topologies. For example, a widely used group of zeolites belongs to the faujasite framework to which the code FAU has been assigned. It is also common to classify zeolites according to their pore size which is defined by the ring size of the biggest pore aperture.
  • Zeolites with a large pore size have a maximum ring size of 12 tetrahedral atoms, zeolites with a medium pore size have a maximum pore size of 10 and zeolites with a small pore size have a maximum pore size of 8 tetrahedral atoms.

The products thus obtained usually contain sodium or quaternary ammonium cations which normally need to be replaced with copper and/or iron cations.

They are classified by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association which defines respective framework types. The commission also assigns framework type codes consisting of three capital letters to all unique and confirmed framework topologies. For example, a widely used group of zeolites belongs to the faujasite framework to which the code FAU has been assigned. It is also common to classify zeolites according to their pore size which is defined by the ring size of the biggest pore aperture. Zeolites with a large pore size have a maximum ring size of 12 tetrahedral atoms, zeolites with a medium pore size have a maximum pore size of 10 and zeolites with a small pore size have a maximum pore size of 8 tetrahedral atoms. Well-known small-pore zeolites belong in particular to the AEI, CHA (chabazite), ERI (erionite), LEV (levyne) and KFI framework types. Examples having a large pore size are zeolites of the faujasite framework type.
Small-pore zeolites, in particular if cations like copper and iron are included in the zeolite pores, play an important role as catalysts in the so-called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides with ammonia to form nitrogen and water. The SCR process has been widely used to clean up exhaust gases which result from the combustion of fossil fuels, in particular from stationary power plants and from vehicles powered by diesel engines.
While zeolites occur in nature, zeolites intended for use as SCR catalyst or other industrial applications are usually manufactured via synthetic processes. Many processes are described which start from a source of aluminum and a source of silicon and use a structure directing agent as a template for the structure type to be synthesized. Processes of this type are for example disclosed in WO 2011/064186 Al and WO2011/157839 Al . The products thus obtained usually contain sodium or quaternary ammonium cations which normally need to be replaced with copper and/or iron cations. This can be done by an additional synthesis step as for example described in WO 2011/073390 A2 and WO 2011/073398 A2. Chem . Lett., 2014, 43, 302 (Maruo et al .) describe the facile synthesis of high-silica AEI zeolites from FAU zeolites using tetraethylphosphonium hydroxide (TEPOH) as template. This process, however, has the
disadvantage that the Si/AI ratio range of the obtained AEI zeolites is very narrow (13- 14) and monomeric and condensed phosphate species are formed in the zeolitic pores during the conventional calcination process. The formation of several types of phosphate species results in the blocking of zeolitic pores.
J . Mater. Chem . A, 2015, 3, 857 (Sonoda et al .) describe the hydrothermal conversion of a FAU zeolite into an AEI zeolite using TEPOH as structure directing agent and seed crystals. The conversion was conducted at 150 °C for 7 days. The paper further describes the manufacture of the respective copper-loaded zeolite by a usual impregnation method using copper nitrate. US patent 4,544,538 describes the hydrothermal synthesis of small-pore zeolite SSZ- 13 with CHA framework type using a source of aluminum and silicon, an alkali hydroxide and an organic structure directing agent, for example N,N,N-trimethyl- l-adamantammonium iodide, N-methyl-3- quinuclidinol iodide or N,N,N-trimethyl-2-ammonium exonorborane. Copper introduction needs to be performed by an additional unit operation such as ion exchange, impregnation and the like. A disadvantage of this approach is the need of expensive templates and an additional processing step for the copper loading . Also one-pot processes are already known . WO2009/141324 discloses a process for the preparation of a copper containing zeolitic material having CHA framework structure which comprises using a source of aluminum, a source of silicon and a source of copper. Also this process needs a structure directing agent as a template for the CHA framework structure, for example 1- adamantyltrimethylammonium hydroxide and benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide. This one-pot process for the manufacture of copper containing aluminosilicate zeolites has disadvantages. For example, it involves organic templates as structure directing agents which are usually very expensive.
A one-pot synthesis of copper containing CHA zeolite is also described in WO2015/084817A1, WO2015/084930A1 and US2015/151286. A mixed- template approach is combined with a silica source, alumina source and optional seed crystals of the envisaged zeolite framework. The mixed- template comprises a metal-amine complex, preferably copper
tetraethylenepentamine (Cu-TEPA), and a second organic structure direct agent suitable for forming the envisaged zeolite framework, such as Ν,Ν,Ν- dimethylethylcyclohexylammonium, Ν,Ν,Ν- methyldiethyicyclohexyl- ammonium, Ν,Ν,Ν-triethyicyclohexylammonium, benzyltrimethylammonium, tetramethylammonium, 1 -adamantyltrimethlylammonium and Ν,Ν,Ν-triethylcyclohexylammonium cations, in the case CHA zeolite framework is preferred. Chem . Commun . 51 (2015) 9965-9968 (Martin et al .) additionally describes a one-pot synthesis of Cu containing CHA zeolite using a mixed-template of Cu-TEPA and tetraethylammonium hydroxide, a commercial Y zeolite (CBV- 720) as silicon and aluminum source, and sodium hydroxide. The final gel had the following molar ratios : 1 S1O2 / 0.047 AI2O3 / 0.05 Cu-TEPA / 0.4 TEAOH / 0.1 NaOH / 5 H2O . Similar, the disadvantage is the use of organic templates which are usually very expensive. Chem . Comm 47 (2011) 9789-9791 (Ren et al .) describes a one-pot synthesis for a zeolite with the CHA framework type code from a synthesis mixture containing silica sol, sodiumaluminate, sodium hydroxide and a copper complex of CuSO4-5H20 with tetraethylenepentamine (Cu-TEPA) in a molar oxide ratio of 3.1 - 3.8 Na20 ; 1 AI2O3 ; 200 H20 ; 10 - 35 S1 O2 ; 2 - 3 Cu-TEPA. The preparation requires a hydrothermal synthesis of 96 h at 140 °C. The resulting materials have a Si/AI of 4.05 - 7.65 and a high CuO loading of 11.89 - 12.77 wt.% . Environ . Sci .Technol . 48 (2014) 566-572 (Xie et al .) describes an adjusted synthesis recipe from a synthesis mixture with a molar oxide ratio of 4.93 Na20 ; 1 AI2O3 ; 200 H2O ; 10 S1 O2 ; 1.33 Cu-TEPA and a hydrothermal treatment of 96 h at 140 °C. The resulting material has a Si/AI ratio of 4.15 and a CuO and Na20 content of 12.89 wt.% and 12.41 wt.%, respectively . Ion exchange of the as made zeolite with 1 M N H4N03 decreases the CuO and Na20 content to 3.8 and 1.2 wt.%, respectively.
There is literature describing the role of alkali cations in the formation of zeolites. For example, the Li+(H20) complex is already known to act as template for the formation of the ABW framework type (Phys. Chem . Chem . Phys. 12 (2012) 14579- 14584). A direct synthesis of Li containing ABW is described in Stud. Surf. Sci . Catal ., ed. A. Gedeon, P. Massiani and F.
Babonneau, Elsevier, 2008, vol . 174, part A, pp. 185-188. Also the transformation to analcime (ANA framework type) in the presence of CsOH has been repeatedly described in literature (J. Phys. Chem . B 114 (2010) 5747-5754).
The processes for the manufacture of copper containing aluminosilicate zeolites described above have disadvantages. For example, they involve several process steps including crystallization of the final product at about 150 °C and high pressure which results in a high energy consumption and an ion exchange step to remove the excessive copper content. There is a need for a process for the manufacture of copper containing aluminosilicate zeolites, in particular small-pore zeolites, which is easy to perform while having a reduced energy consumption, yielding the copper zeolite with the desired CuO content between 1 and 10 wt.% and goes without use of expensive templates. In addition, it is desirable to provide a process which is flexible in the sense that it allows to manufacture a wide variety of small-pore zeolites with respect to copper content, Si/AI ratio and SAR, respectively, and framework type. The inventors of the present invention have now found that it is surprisingly possible to transform zeolites of the faujasite framework type under alkaline conditions in the presence of a copper complex with
tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) to copper containing small-pore zeolites with CuO loading between 1 and 10 wt.%.
