Organotemplate-free Hydrothermal Synthesis of SUZ-4 Zeolite: Influence of Synthesis Conditions

Various conditions were investigated in detail for the novel organic template-free static hydrothermal synthesis of SUZ-4 zeolite in the presence of seeds. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD （X-ray diffraction）, SEM （scanning electron microscope）, TG （thermal gravimetric analysis）, ICP （inductively coupling plasma） elemental analysis, nitrogen sorption isotherm and surface area. The results show that pure SUZ-4 zeolites with high crystallinity are obtained in a broad window of synthesis conditions： seed mass concentration 0.2%-2%, SIO2/A1203 molar ratio 21 25, KOH/SiO2 molar ratio 0.33 0.43, H20/SiO2 molar ratio 7.14-38.1, aging time 24 h, crystallization temperature 160℃, and crystallization time 6-10 d. Also, crystallinity and size of the rod-like SUZ-4 zeolite crystals are found to alter with the conditions.

PtSnNa/SUZ-4:An efficient catalyst for propane dehydrogenation

The structure and catalytic properties of PtSn catalysts supported on SUZ-4 and ZSM-5 zeolite have been studied by using various experimental techniques including XRD,nitrogen adsorption,NH3-TPD,TG,H2-TPR and TPO techniques combined with propane dehydrogenation tests.It has been shown that SUZ-4-supported PtSnNa（PtSnNa/SUZ-4） was determined to be a better catalyst for propane dehydrogenation than conventional catalysts supported on ZSM-5,owing to its higher catalytic activity and stability.Dibenzothiophene poisoning experiments were performed to investigate the detailed structures of the two supported catalysts.The characterization of the two catalysts indicates that the distribution of Pt on the porous support affects the activity.In contrast to ZSM-5-supported catalysts,Pt particles on the PtSnNa/SUZ-4 are primarily dispersed over the external surface and are not as readily deactivated by carbon deposition.This is because that the strong acid sites of the SUZ-4 zeolite evidently prevented the impregnation of the Pt precursor H_2PtCl_6 into the zeolite.In contrast,the weak acid sites of the ZSM-5 zeolite led to more of the precursor entering the zeolite tunnels,followed by transformation to highly dispersed Pt clusters during calcination.In the case of the PtSnNa/ZSM-5,the interactions between Sn oxides and the support were lessened,owing to the weaker acidity of the ZSM-5 zeolite.The dispersed Sn oxides were therefore easier to reduce to the metallic state,thus decreasing the catalytic activity for hydrocarbon dehydrogenation.

Photocatalytic activity of different morphology BiPO_4 supported on zeolite

Highly efficient sheet-like BiPO4/zeolite and ball-flower-like BiPO4/zeolite had been successfully synthesized by a standard hydrothermal method. The addition of assistant reagent in the hydrothermal system is promising to obtain special morphology. The assistant reagent (EDTA) acts as a growth modifier of crystal. The possible formation mechanisms of sheet-like BiPO4/zeolite and ball-flower-like BiPO4/zeolite were schematically discussed. A detailed study of sheet-like BiPO4/zeolite and ball-flower-like BiPO4/zeolite impacted on the photodecoloration methylene blue (MB) solution showed that the composite had a highly reusable and stable property for long-run photocatalytic application.

Studies on the Synthesis, Properties and Preparation Methods of Zeolite ZK-4

A zeolite designated as ZK-4 was synthesized hydrothermally in the system (TMA)2ONa2O-Al2O3- SiO2- H2O at 80 - 100℃ with tetramethylammonium hydroxide as an organic templating agent. The pure zeolite ZK-4 could be prepared by using the mother liquor obtained after filtration as the source of templating agent. The effect of some synthetic conditions such as the amount of tetramethylammonium hydroxide used, n [ (TMA)2O + Na2O] /n (Al2O3) ratio, n (SiO2)/n(Al2O3) ratio and crystallization time, etc. on the crystalline phase of the product was investigated. When the following molar ratios of the reaction mixture, n (SiO2)/n (Al2O3) 4-10, n[(TMA)2O+Na2O]/ n (Al2O3 ) > 7, n (Na2O)/n (Al2O3)=0. 5-2. 0, n (H2O)/ n(A12O3)=80-450, were used, pure zeolite ZK-4 could be obtained. The synthetic products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), adsorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), and 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance technique. Zeolite ZK-4 has a higher thermal stability than sodium zeolite A due to higher n(Si)/n(Al) ratio of zeolite ZK-4.

Preparation of Calcium Cross-linked Nano-Fe3O4 Modified Zeolite Microspheres for Cu^2+ Adsorption from Wastewater

Artificial zeolite was modified by nano-Fe3O4 for development of functional adsorbents.Subsequently,adsorbents such as calcium cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 microspheres (Ca-MS),calcium cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 modified zeolite microspheres (Ca-MZS) and iron cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 modified zeolite microspheres (Fe-MZS) were prepared and compared for their adsorption performance.The effects of adsorbent dosage,solution pH,initial concentration and ion content on the removal of Cu^2+ from wastewater are investigated,and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for the adsorbent materials were analyzed.The experimental results indicate that for the initial concentration of Cu^2+ of 30 mg/L,the adsorption is noted to be most stable.The optimal initial pH for adsorbing Cu^2+ is observed to be 5.5.At an optimal dosage of Ca-MZS of 900 mg/L,the adsorption capacity is measured to be 28.25 mg/g,along with the removal rate of 72.49%.The addition of Na+ and K+ affects the adsorption of Cu^2+.For the Na^+ and K^+ concentration of 0.2 mmol/L,the Cu^2+ removal rate by Ca-MZS drops to 11.94% and 22.12%,respectively.As compared with the adsorbents such as Natural Zeolite (NZ),Ca-MS and Fe-MZS,Ca-MZS demonstrates the best removal effect in solution,where the removal rate reaches 84.27%,with the maximum adsorption capacity of 28.09 mg/g.The Cu^2+ adsorption kinetics of Ca-MZS is observed to follow the Elovich kinetic model,with the adsorption isotherm data fitting the Freundlich isotherm model by using the non-linear method.

Preparation and characterization of Ag^+ ion-exchanged zeolite-Matrimid~5218 mixed matrix membrane for CO_2/CH_4 separation

In this work, the zeolite-Y was ion-exchanged by introducing silver cations into the framework of microsized nano-porous sodium zeolite-Y using a liquid-phase ion exchanged method. The Ag+ion-exchanged zeolite, was then embedded into the Matrimid5218 matrix to form novel mixed matrix membranes(MMMs). The particles and MMMs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV–vis DRS), N2adsorption–desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Furthermore, the effects of filler content(0–20wt%) on pure and mixed gas experiments, feed pressure(2–20 bar) and operating temperature(35–75 oC)on CO2/CH4transport properties of Matrimid/Ag Y MMMs were considered. Characterization results confirmed an appropriate ion-exchange treatment of the zeolites. The SEM results confirmed the superior interfacial adhesion between polymer and zeolites, particularly in the case of Matrimid/Ag Y membranes.This is due to the proper silverous zeolite/Matrimid functional groups’ interactions. The gas permeation results showed that the CO2permeability increased about 123%, from 8.34 Barrer for pure Matrimid to18.62 Barrer for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The CO2/CH4selectivity was improved about 66%, from 36.3 for Matrimid to 60.1 for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The privileged gas separation performance of Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%) was the result of a combined effect of facilitated transport mechanism of Ag+ions as well as the intrinsic surface diffusion mechanism of Y-type zeolite. In order to survey the possibility of using the developed MMMs in industry, the CO2-induced plasticization effect and mixed gas experiment were accomplished. It was deduced that the fabricated MMMs could maintain the superior performance in actual operating conditions.

In Situ Delamination of Ferrierite Zeolite and its Performance in the Catalytic Cracking of C_4 Hydrocarbons

Ferrierite(FER) zeolites were synthesized by solid transformation at different alkalinities(OH-/Al2O3 molar ratios). The in situ delamination of FER zeolites were achieved and their catalytic performances in the catalytic cracking of C4 hydrocarbons were examined. The relationships among the OH-/Al2O3 molar ratio, FER structure,composition, surface acidity and catalytic performance in C4 hydrocarbon cracking were investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, N2 adsorption, NH3temperature-programmed desorption and catalytic cracking showed that with increasing OH-/Al2O3 molar ratio in the synthesis gel, the Si O2/Al2O3 molar ratio of the as-synthesized FER zeolite decreased, the amount of acid sites in the corresponding H-FER increased, and the acid strength weakened. Additionally, the FER zeolite was delaminated at the mesoscale. H-FER5 synthesized at the highest alkalinity had the largest number of acid sites and exhibited the highest catalytic activity in C4 hydrocarbon catalytic cracking among three of the prepared catalysts. H-FER3 synthesized at the secondhighest alkalinity showed that the highest yield of benzene and toluene because of the secondary pores resulted from the gaps between the layers, which were beneficial to the diffusion and formation of large molecules.

Insights into the confinement effect on isobutane alkylation with C_(4) olefin catalyzed by zeolite catalyst:A combined theoretical and experimental study

Elucidating the confinement effect harbours tremendous significance for isobutane alkylation with C_(4) olefin.Herein,the confinement effect over zeolite catalysts was elucidated by combining DFT calculations,experiments(using the novel Beta zeolite exposing only external surfaces(Beta-E)and conventional Beta-I zeolite with both external and internal surfaces)and multi-techniques(e.g.,TGA-DTG,HRTEM,SEM and XRD).It is found that the main active sites for C_(4) alkylation reaction are located on internal surface rather than external surface.On the external surface,the hydride transfer reaction does not occur because the H-shared intermediate cannot be formed without the confinement effect.Moreover,the external surface has stronger selectivity for C_(4) olefin adsorption than isobutane,leading to enhanced oligomerization reactions.Therefore,the suitable micropore with confinement effect is essential for zeolite-catalyzed C_(4) alkylation.The atomic-scale insights of this work are of great referential importance to the design of highly effective zeolite catalyst.

Synthesis of 4A Zeolite and Characterization of Calcium- and Silver-Exchanged Forms

Calcium exchanged A type zeolite is extensively used as an adsorbent in petroleum and gas purification application. The precursor of calcium and silver-exchanged zeolite was prepared in a hydrothermal process, followed by an exchange process. In this study, LTA zeolite was synthesized. Calcium-ex- changed and silver-exchanged molecular sieves were prepared and characterized by a series of techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. Physical properties of Ca- and Ag-exchanged zeolite A, such as surface structure, crystal structure, cation exchange capacity, and the ion-exchange properties were measured. Water adsorption studies using thermogravimetric method indicated that water molecules are more strongly bound in the Ca-A zeolite compared to Ag-A zeolite. XPS studies confirmed the presence of highly dispersed cationic silver species at exchange sites. The results of this study indicated that sodium was successfully exchanged with the calcium and silver in both Ca- and Ag-ex- changed zeolite frameworks. High cation exchange capacity, tailored aperture size, high porosity and specific surface area, as well as high thermal stability make cation-exchanged A type zeolite a successful candidate for adsorption, ion exchange, and catalysis applications.

GC/MS, FTIR, NMR methods were used in the study.

丙烷脱氢负载型PtSnNa/SUZ-4催化剂中Na^+助剂组分的作用

Fabrication of lithium silicates from zeolite for CO2 capture at high temperatures

Li4Si O4 has been regarded as one of the most promising high-temperature CO2 sorbents.However,for practical applications,its CO2sorption kinetics,cycling stability and sorption properties at lower temperatures or lower CO2 concentrations have to be improved.In this contribution,four Li4Si O4 sorbents were synthesized from zeolite precursors MCM-41,MCM-48,TS-1,and ZSM-5.The CO2 uptake,cycling stability and the optimal CO2 sorption conditions were investigated.Among the samples,MCM-41-Li4Si O4 showed the best cycling stability at 650°C,with a stable reversible CO2 uptake of 29.1 wt%under 100 vol%CO2 during 20 cycles.But its sorption kinetics and CO2 uptakes at lower temperatures and lower CO2 concentrations need to be improved.We then demonstrated that the sorption kinetics can be improved by modifying the MCM-41 precursor with metals such as Al,Ti,Ca,and Na.The Na-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 sample exhibited the highest sorption rate,and reached the equilibrium sorption capacity close to the theoretical value of 36.7 wt%within 20 min.In addition,we proved that coating the MCM-41-Li4Si O4with Na2CO3and K2CO3can significantly increase the CO2uptakes at lower temperatures(e.g.550℃)and lower CO2concentrations(10–20 vol%).At 550℃ and under 20 vol%CO2,15 wt%K2CO3-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 and 10 wt%Na2CO3-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 sorbents resulted in a CO2 uptake of 32.2 wt%and 34.7 wt%,respectively,which are much higher than that of MCM-41-Li4Si O4(11.8 wt%).These two sorbents also showed good cycling stability.The promoiting mechasnim by alkali carbonate coating was discussed by a doubleshell model.
