Hydrothermally stable mesoporous aluminosilicates with moderate acidity via degradation-assembly process and improved catalytic properties

摘要

Mesoporous aluminosilicates with hydrother-mal stability and moderate acidity are synthesized via assembly of microporous zeolite precursors obtained by the degradation of zeolite NaY, denoted as "degradation-assembly" (DA) technique. By controlling the degradation degree of matrix NaY, precursors with larger spatial volume and stronger rigidity will be obtained. The characterization results showed that the walls of the mesophase in MDA (mesoporous aluminosilicate obtained by "DA" method) composed of the preformed zeolite Y building units and the moderate acidity was inherited from the introduced precursors. It was suggested that the more mature assembly units accounted for the increased acidity of MDA with more Al species retained in the framework of mesophases. The resulting aluminosilicates with simultaneously moderate acidity and hydrothermal stability showed superior catalytic properties when used in heavy oil catalytic cracking catalysts.
