The synthesis of hierarchical high-silica beta zeolites in NaF media.

ABSTRACT: An aerosol-assisted hydrothermal method has been applied to synthesizing hierarchical beta zeolites with SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratios ranging from 44 to 392 in NaF media. Two different morphologies, including nano-aggregates with interparticle mesopores and plate-like zeolites with intracrystalline mesopores, can be formed depending on the SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratios of the synthesis gels. A possible mechanism for the formation of the beta zeolites has been proposed. The obtained beta zeolites show hierarchical pores, good Al species distribution and less internal defect sites. Evaluation, by the cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB), is consistent with the acidic properties and the pore structure of beta zeolites with different ratios of SiO₂/Al₂O₃.

Rapid hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites.

Project description:An innovative hydrothermal method has been successfully applied to the synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites with different mass ratios. Firstly, the ZSM-5 zeolites were coated with amorphous silica and aluminum species by a spray drying process. Then, the precursor powder was hydrothermally crystallized for only 1-2 days with the addition of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH). The obtained products were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, N2 physical adsorption-desorption, 27Al MAS NMR, ICP, pyridine-IR and NH3-TPD techniques. The characterization results imply that the ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites exhibit hierarchical-pores, higher external surface areas and larger mesopore volumes as compared to those of the pure ZSM-5 and beta zeolite. Moreover, the pore structure and acid sites of the ZSM-5/beta composite can be adjusted by changing the mass ratio of ZSM-5/beta. Finally, the ZSM-5/beta composite catalysts exhibit good catalytic performances in the cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB).

Organotemplate-Free β Zeolites: From Zeolite Synthesis to Hierarchical Structure Creation.

Project description:Interest in the production of β zeolites in the absence of organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) has continued to grow consistently during the past decade. During this time, numerous strategies have been proposed to manipulate the hierarchy of zeolite pore structures in order to facilitate the transport of bulky reactants and to improve the accessibility of active sites in zeolite catalysts. In this work, we describe an organotemplate-free route to produce hierarchical β zeolites. Using OSDA-free β as the starting zeolites, we explored the applicability of various postsynthetic approaches to create hierarchical structures with mesoporosity, including framework stabilization, dealumination, conventional desilication, and hydrothermal desilication. While framework stabilization and dealumination were not effective in generating mesoporosity, they were necessary as modification steps to determine the efficacy of hierarchical structure creation. Compared to conventional desilication, hydrothermal desilication produces larger mesopores and much better preservation of microporosity and acidity because of the occurrence of recrystallization. The cost-effective, scalable production of organotemplate-free hierarchical β zeolites could greatly enhance the adoption of β zeolites in oil refining and petrochemical industries, where the advantages of hierarchically structured zeolites can dramatically improve catalytic performances in formulated catalysts.

Rational Design of Hierarchical Beta Zeolites via Post-Synthesis Treatments and Their Applications.

Project description:Hierarchical zeolites with micro- and mesoporous frameworks can overcome diffusional limitations of microporous systems. This study investigates the post-synthetic modification of Beta zeolite using different porogeneous agents (NaOH, NH4OH, NH4F) under identical conditions to compare their efficiency in generating mesopores. The effect of treatment time was also examined for NH4OH and NH4F. The modified materials were characterized using physicochemical techniques and evaluated for catalytic performance in acetic acid esterification with alcohols of different sizes and adsorption of methylene blue. All the modifications increased mesoporosity but reduced acidity. NaOH produced the highest mesoporosity but significantly reduced acidity, while NH4F retained the most acidity. Catalytic activity in esterification with methanol depended on acidity, but for larger alcohols (n-butanol, benzyl alcohol), activity was influenced by both acidity and mesoporosity. The NH4OH- and NH4F-modified materials, with lower mesoporosity but higher acidity, exhibited better performance with larger alcohols. In MB adsorption, the adsorption equilibrium rates increased with mesoporosity. The NaOH-modified sample reached equilibrium the fastest due to its superior mesoporosity, while the NH4F-modified sample demonstrated the highest adsorption efficiency owing to its abundant Brønsted acid sites. These findings demonstrate that the choice of modifier affects mesoporosity, acidity, and functional performance, offering insights into tailoring hierarchical zeolites for specific applications.

Fluoride-free and seed-free microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of nanosized high-silica Beta zeolites for effective VOCs adsorption.

Project description:High-silica Beta zeolites, typically synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis with the assistance of F- or seeds, are highly important in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption. Fluoride-free or seed-free synthesis of high-silica Beta zeolites attracts great attention. Herein, highly dispersed Beta zeolites with a size of 25-180 nm and Si/Al ratios of 9-∞ were successfully synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal strategy. We have for the first time revealed that microwave irradiation can induce the formation of hydroxyl free radicals (˙OH), promoting the formation of the Si-O-Si bond. Thanks to the high total surface area, pore volume, and excellent hydrophobicity, the as-prepared pure-silica Beta zeolite presents a higher toluene adsorption capacity in VOCs adsorption compared to other pure-silica Beta zeolites prepared by traditional methods. This work provides a facile avenue for fluoride-free and seed-free synthesis of nanosized high-silica zeolites, promising their important applications in VOCs adsorption.

High-Silica Zeolites as Sorbent Media for Adsorption and Pre-Concentration of Pharmaceuticals in Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:The present work focused on the use of high-silica commercial zeolites as sorbent media for pharmaceuticals in an aqueous matrix. As drug probes, ketoprofen, hydrochlorothiazide, and atenolol were selected, because of their occurrence in surface waters and effluents from wastewater treatment plants. Pharmaceuticals adsorption was evaluated for two Faujasite topology zeolites with Silica/Alumina Ratio 30 and 200. The selected zeolites were demonstrated to be efficient sorbents towards all investigated pharmaceuticals, thanks to their high saturation capacities (from 12 to 32% w/w) and binding constants. These results were corroborated by thermal and structural analyses, which revealed that adsorption occurred inside zeolite's porosities, causing lattice modifications. Finally, zeolites have been tested as a pre-concentration media in the dispersive-solid phase extraction procedure. Recoveries higher than 95% were gained for ketoprofen and hydrochlorothiazide and approximately 85% for atenolol, at conditions that promoted the dissolution of the neutral solute into a phase mainly organic. The results were obtained by using a short contact time (5 min) and reduced volume of extraction (500 µL), without halogenated solvents. These appealing features make the proposed procedure a cost and time saving method for sample enrichment as well as for the regeneration of exhausted sorbent, rather than the more energetically expensive thermal treatment.

Ethanol and Water Adsorption in Conventional and Hierarchical All-Silica MFI Zeolites.

Project description:Hierarchical zeolites containing both micro- (<2 nm) and mesopores (2-50 nm) have gained increasing attention in recent years because they combine the intrinsic properties of conventional zeolites with enhanced mass transport rates due to the presence of mesopores. The structure of the hierarchical self-pillared pentasil (SPP) zeolite is of interest because all-silica SPP consists of orthogonally intergrown single-unit-cell MFI nanosheets and contains hydrophilic surface silanol groups on the mesopore surface while its micropores are nominally hydrophobic. Therefore, the distribution of adsorbed polar molecules, like water and ethanol, in the meso- and micropores is of fundamental interest. Here, molecular simulation and experiment are used to investigate the adsorption of water and ethanol on SPP. Vapor-phase single-component adsorption shows that water occupies preferentially the mesopore corner and surface regions of the SPP material at lower pressures (P/P 0 < 0.5) while loading in the mesopore interior dominates adsorption at higher pressures. In contrast, ethanol does not exhibit a marked preference for micro- or mesopores at low pressures. Liquid-phase adsorption from binary water-ethanol mixtures demonstrates a 2 orders of magnitude lower ethanol/water selectivity for the SPP material compared to bulk MFI. For very dilute aqueous solutions of ethanol, the ethanol molecules are mostly adsorbed inside the SPP micropore region due to stronger dispersion interactions and the competition from water for the surface silanols. At high ethanol concentrations (C EtOH > 700 g L-1), the SPP material becomes selective for water over ethanol.

High-Silica Layer-like Zeolites Y from Seeding-Free Synthesis and Their Catalytic Performance in Low-Density Polyethylene Cracking.

Project description:Layer-like FAU-type zeolite Y was synthesized by an organosilane-assisted low-temperature hydrothermal method and its catalytic activity was verified in the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) cracking process. The synthesis procedure of high-silica layer-like zeolite Y was based on organosilane as a growth modifier, and for the first time, the seeding step was successfully avoided. The X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of pure FAU structure and zeolite particles of plate-like morphology arranged in the manner of the skeleton of a cuboctahedron. The in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic studies, low-temperature nitrogen sorption, and electron microscopy results provided detailed information on the obtained layer-like zeolite Y. The acidic and textural properties of layer-like zeolites Y were faced with the catalytic activity and selectivity in the cracking of LDPE. The quantitative assessment of catalyst selectivity performed in FT-IR/GC-MS operando studies pointed out that LDPE cracking over the layer-like material yielded value-added C3-C4 gases and C5-C6 liquid fraction at the expense of C7+ fraction. The detailed analysis of coke residue on the catalyst was also performed by means of FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and thermoprogrammed oxidation coupled with mass spectrometry for the detection of oxidation products. The acidic and textural properties gave a foundation for the catalytic performance and coking of catalysts.

Synthesis of an excellent MTP catalyst: hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with great mesoporosity.

Project description:A unique organosiloxane-polyether amine (OPA) was produced and used as mesoporogen to efficiently synthesize hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with great mesoporosity. We have employed silica sol and tetraethylorthosilicate, respectively, to investigate the influence of different silicon sources on hierarchical zeolites in the presence of OPA. The mesopores of synthesized samples focused on 6-15 nm, and the external surface area varied from 185 to 463 m2 g-1 where the micropore surface area was maintained at 245-334 m2 g-1. Benefiting from the superior structure properties, these samples were used as catalysts in the reaction of methanol to propylene, and the optimal one catalysed for 180 h with methanol conversion above 95%. The as-produced OPA could connect steadily with zeolite frameworks through covalent bonds (-Si-O-Si-) during the hydrothermal crystallization process. This type of connection mode could effectively avoid the formation of amorphous phase and the special molecular structure of OPA could efficiently introduce abundant mesopores with few micropores being consumed. The samples synthesized with silicon sol were made up of quasi-circular particles of about 800 nm in size and further consisted of nanocrystals of 40 nm, and the samples produced with TEOS have a particle size of about 1-2 µm aggregated with nanocrystals of 300 nm.

In Situ Recrystallization of Mesoporous Carbon-Silica Composite for the Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Zeolites.

Project description:Hierarchically porous ZSM-5 was prepared by utilizing a two-step crystallization procedure with carbon-silica composites as precursors. The hierarchically porous zeolites obtained a regular mesoporous structure with aluminum incorporated into the carbon-silica composite frameworks. The carbon-silica composite zeolites were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. As-prepared hierarchical zeolites were used in the 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (TIPB) cracking reaction and exhibited significantly high TIPB conversion, while the accessibility factors were also determined.

Synthesis and Characterization of Hierarchical ZSM-5 Zeolites with Outstanding Mesoporosity and Excellent Catalytic Properties.

Project description:A novel soft-template (ST) is fabricated and successfully employed as mesoporogen to synthesis hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with outstanding mesoporosity and high hierarchy factors. The as-produced soft-template can connect steadily with the MFI frameworks by covalent bonds of -Si-O-Si- during the high-temperature hydrothermal crystallization process. This type of connection mode can effectively avoid the formation of amorphous materials, and the specific structure of this soft-template can efficiently introduce plentiful of mesopores with few micropores being consumed. The particles of as-synthesized hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites are in size of about 1 μm, which are made up of nanocrystals of 60-150 nm. The structure parameters of these samples are characterized with the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nitrogen sorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and thermogravimetric (TG). Due to the nature of zeolites and great microporosity, these hierarchical samples present great tolerance of hydrothermal treatment. And because of the intracrystalline mesopores, large external surface areas, and abundant accessible acid sites, whether in conversion rate of reactants or selectivity of products, the hierarchical samples exhibit excellent catalytic performance in the reactions of alkylation between benzene and benzyl alcohol, cracking of 1,3,5-tri-isopropylbenzene, and thermal cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), respectively.
