The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202211109892X, filed on Sep. 13, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of catalytic materials, in particular to an active metal-containing M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve and a preparation method.
Molecular sieves are important adsorption/catalytic materials, have physicochemical characteristics such as regular windows, uniform pore channels, large specific surfaces and suitable acidity, and exhibit outstanding advantages in the fields of petrochemical, fine chemical, environmental protection, etc., and have been widely studied and applied. The research results show that active metal-containing M-CHA molecular sieves have excellent SCR catalytic activity, but their hydrothermal stability and resistance to N2O formation are to be improved; active metal-containing M-MOR molecular sieves have excellent hydrothermal stability and resistance to N2O formation, but have a narrow SCR catalytic activity temperature window and limited application areas. Composite molecular sieves have better synergistic effects and often exhibit good properties that a mechanical mixture does not have. By combining the characteristics of the two types of molecular sieves, the comprehensive performance of the composite molecular sieves can be regulated, and thus the composite molecular sieves have wider applicability in the field of waste gas treatment and good application prospects.
Currently, a preparation method for an active metal-containing M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve has not been reported, and thus, the development of the preparation method is of great significance. Patent document CN108862307A discloses a preparation method for an SSZ-13/MOR eutectic molecular sieve, including mixing an inorganic base, deionized water and a template agent R, then adding an aluminum source and a silicon source, performing uniform stirring and mixing, and performing crystallizing, washing, separating, drying and calcining to obtain the SSZ-13/MOR eutectic molecular sieve. According to the method disclosed, only an alkali metal (such as Na and K) type SSZ-13/MOR eutectic molecular sieve can be obtained, and the eutectic molecular sieve does not have SCR catalytic activity since the alkali metals such as Na and K cannot provide catalytic active sites required for NOx conversion, and how to introduce an active metal M into the molecular sieve is not mentioned. The conventional technical route for introducing the active metal M into the molecular sieve includes: (1) preparing a Na-type or K-type molecular sieve; (2) performing ammonium exchange to obtain an NH4-type molecular sieve, and performing calcination to obtain an H-type molecular sieve, and (3) performing active metal M ion exchange to obtain an active metal M-containing molecular sieve. In each step, processes such as crystallization or ion exchange reactions, washing, separation, drying and calcination are involved. As a whole, the current preparation of molecular sieves containing the active metal M has the defects of complicated process flow, large production amount of washing waste water, and high energy consumption.

In order to further understand the present disclosure, the present disclosure is described below with reference to the examples, and these descriptions are only intended to further explain the features and advantages of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the claims of the present disclosure.

In the present disclosure, the CHA-MOR mixed molecular sieve refers to a mixed molecular sieve obtained by physically mixing the CHA molecular sieve with the MOR molecular sieve. In the present disclosure, the CHA molecular sieve represents a chabazite-type molecular sieve, and the MOR molecular sieve represents a mordenite-type molecular sieve. In the present disclosure, the molecular sieve secondary structural unit refers to a multi-membered ring structure composed of silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons by sharing oxygen atoms according to different connection modes.
A preparation method for an active metal-containing M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve of the present disclosure specifically includes:
Step S1: an alkali source, a silicon source, an aluminum source, a structure-directing agent, an active metal complex, and deionized water are added into a reaction vessel, then a crystal form modifier is added, and uniform stirring is performed to obtain a gel.
Wherein the crystal form modifier is an aqueous solution containing a molecular sieve secondary structural unit prepared based on at least one of an MOR molecular sieve, a CHA/MOR composite molecular sieve, and a CHA-MOR mixed molecular sieve. A method for preparing the crystal form modifier specifically includes adding at least one of the MOR molecular sieve, the CHA/MOR composite molecular sieve and the CHA-MOR mixed molecular sieve into an alkaline aqueous solution having a pH of 13.0-14.0, and then carrying out a reaction at 20-100° C. for 2-24 h to obtain the crystal form modifier.
The crystal form modifier is separately prepared in the present disclosure, compared with directly adding at least one of the MOR molecular sieve, the CHA/MOR composite molecular sieve, and the CHA-MOR mixed molecular sieve into a complex gel system to prepare a molecular sieve, the molecular sieve secondary structural unit is more easily obtained in a single reaction environment in the present disclosure, and adding the obtained crystal form modifier into a reaction system is more conducive to successful preparation of the M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve in a later stage.
Since the MOR molecular sieve has both an eight-membered ring structure and a twelve-membered ring structure, and the CHA molecular sieve has an eight-membered ring structure, the obtained crystal form modifier contains both a molecular sieve secondary structural unit of an eight-membered ring and a molecular sieve secondary structural unit of a twelve-membered ring, and the molecular sieve secondary structural unit of the eight-membered ring and the molecular sieve secondary structural unit of the twelve-membered ring can induce the generation of the MOR molecular sieve, and the molecular sieve secondary structural unit of the eight-membered ring can induce the generation of the CHA molecular sieve. Thus, a M-CHA/M-MOR intergrowth structure can be successfully prepared by using the crystal form modifier prepared based on at least one of the MOR molecular sieve, the CHA/MOR composite molecular sieve, and the CHA-MOR mixed molecular sieve.
Wherein the alkali source is one or two of an inorganic alkali and an organic quaternary ammonium alkali, the inorganic alkali is one or two of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and the organic quaternary ammonium alkali is one or two of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and tetraethylammonium hydroxide; the aluminum source is one or more of aluminum hydroxide, sodium metaaluminate, potassium metaaluminate, and aluminum sulfate; the silicon source is one or more of silica sol, sodium silicate and potassium silicate; and the structure-directing agent is one or more of N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantylammonium hydroxide, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, and triethylamine.

The active metal complex can be present in solution in an alkaline environment required for molecular sieve synthesis, avoiding precipitation of the active metal precursor in the alkaline environment, thereby making it difficult for the active metal to enter a framework structure of the molecular sieve.
In the gel system, a molar ratio of the alkali source (in terms of OH—) to the silicon source (in terms of SiO2) to the aluminum source (in terms of Al2O3) to the structure-directing agent to the active metal complex is (0.07-0.30):1.00:(0.03-0.15):(0.05-0.20):(0.01-0.10), and the crystal form modifier being in terms of a molecular sieve, a mass ratio of the crystal form modifier to the gel is (0.001-0.010):1.00.
Step S2: The gel is subjected to a stage I reaction at 10-90° C. for 1-12 h in the reaction vessel, then a stage II reaction is carried out at 140-200° C. for 48-120 h to obtain a slurry, and the obtained slurry is separated to obtain a composite molecular sieve.
A hydrothermal method of the present disclosure is completed by a two-stage reaction, the stage I reaction is a nucleation reaction and the stage II reaction is a crystal growth process, the hydrothermal reaction is divided into a two-stage reaction, a large amount of reactants are first subjected to a reaction to generate crystal nuclei, and then the crystal nuclei grow, and thus, a small grain product can be obtain by the method.
Step S3: The composite molecular sieve is dried at 100-300° C., and calcined at 500-800° C. to obtain an active metal-containing M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve product; and the molecular sieve product is used as a catalyst in the fields of environmental protection and industrial catalysis directly or after molding.
Or, this step can also be carried out as follows: the composite molecular sieve and an active metal content regulator are added into deionized water, wherein a liquid-solid ratio of the water to the composite molecular sieve is 2-10, the active metal content regulator has a concentration of 0.1-2.0 M, a reaction is carried out at 40-90° C. for 2-10 h, and after the reaction is finished, the obtained slurry is filtered, dried at 100-300° C., and calcined at 500-800° C. to obtain the active metal-containing M-CHA/M-MOR composite molecular sieve product; and the molecular sieve product is used as a catalyst in the fields of environmental protection and industrial catalysis directly or after molding.
The active metal content regulator is one or more of ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium chloride, ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate.
During this reaction, the active metal content regulator can react with the active metal on the composite molecular sieve, thus, the content of the active metal M in a target molecular sieve can be more accurately regulated by the reaction between the active metal and the active metal content regulator, the active metal content can be regulated, and the product performance can be more accurately controlled, making the product more suitable for use in the field with high requirements for the product performance.
