Method for heteroatom lattice substitution in large and extra-large pore borosilicate zeolites

摘要

The present invention provides a method for preparing a zeolite having lattice substituted heteroatoms. The method includes: (a) contacting a calcined borosilicate zeolite with an acid, thereby producing an at least partially deboronated zeolite; and (b) contacting the at least partially deboronated zeolite with a salt-containing aqueous solution comprising one or more salts selected from the group consisting of aluminium salt, gallium salt, and iron salt, thereby producing a silicate or borosilicate zeolite having a lattice comprising aluminium atoms; gallium atoms, iron atoms or a combination thereof. Step (b) is conducted at a pH of about 3.5 or less. Preferably, step (a), step (b) or both are conducted at a temperature of from about ambient temperature to about 300°C, preferably, under stirring/tumbling.
