  • Publication number: 20150118147
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the synthesis of novel delaminated layered zeolite precursor materials prepared by fluoride/chloride anion-promoted exfoliation. The method comprises, for example, using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions at a mild pH in aqueous solution to affect delamination of a layered zeolite precursor. The method can also comprise using a combination of fluoride and chloride anions in a non-aqueous solution comprising an organic solvent. The method may be used in conjunction with either acidification or sonication, or both. The resulting delaminated zeolite precursors are then isolated. Precursors that are then isolated lack amorphous silica content. The UCB-1 product is an example of such a novel oxide material and is obtained in yields in excess of 90% without the need for sonication.

In the present application, a molecular sieve catalyst co-modified by rare earth metals and silanization is utilized. First, the material containing methanol and/or dimethyl ether reacts on the catalyst to generate hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated into a C1-C5 component and a C6+ component. Then the C6+ component is recycled to the feeding port and fed into the reactor after mixing with methanol and/or dimethyl ether. The above steps are repeated, to finally generate C1-C5 products, in which the selectivity for ethylene and propylene can reach more than 90 wt % in the C1-C5 component, so that the maximal yield can be achieved in the production of ethylene and propylene from methanol and/or dimethyl ether.

  • Publication number: 20140356280
    Abstract: Provided is a surfactant-free, single-step synthesis of delaminated aluminosilicate zeolites. The process comprises the step of heating a borosilicate zeolite precursor in a metal salt solution, e.g., an aluminum nitrate solution, zinc nitrate solution or manganese nitrate solution. The delaminated aluminosilicate zeolite product is then recovered from the solution.

  • Publication number: 20140322126
    Abstract: Provided is a beta-type zeolite which has a high catalytic activity and is not easily deactivated. The beta-type zeolite of the invention has a substantially octahedral shape, has a Si/Al ratio of 5 or more, and is a proton-type zeolite. The Si/Al ratio is preferably 40 or more. This beta-type zeolite is preferably obtained by transforming a raw material beta-type zeolite synthesized without using a structure directing agent into an ammonium-type zeolite through ion exchange, then, exposing the beta-type zeolite to water vapor, and subjecting the exposed beta-type zeolite to an acid treatment.

  • Patent number: 8865120
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the production of ion-exchanged (metal-doped, metal-exchanged) Zeolites and Zeotypes, In particular, the method applied uses a sublimation step to incorporate the ion within the channels of the Zeolitic material. Hence, according to this dry procedure no solvent is involved which obviates certain drawbacks connected with wet exchange processes known in the art.
