Abstract

A B S T R A C T O F T H E D I S C L O S U R E

An improved process is disclosed for producing alumino--silicates having a porous structure, of the zeolite class, the process essentially comprising the step of preparing a homogeneous aqueous mixture containging a source of alu-mina, a source of silica and alkali metal bases and/or alkaline earth metal bases, the improvement consisting in adding to said mixture at least one substance which contains at least a hydroxyl group in its molecule.
The advantages are that the use of nitrogenous organic substances, universally used heretofore for the preparation of certain zeolites, can be dispensed with inasmuch as the alkali metal ion is capable, alone, of displaying the counter-ion function.-

HhVI~G h Z.l`~LIl!E-LIl'~ Sr~,J't'I~

This illvefltion relat~s to a metho~ fvr the preparation of aluminum--sili.cates h~Ying a zeolite--like structure.
Qlkyl&mmonium~ or nitrogenous, zeolites are kno~n ( B~eck,D.W.,"Zeol~te Molecular Sieves", John Wiley & SollS ,N .~ ., 197~7 pages 304-312 ): these are obtained by hydrothermal ci-ysta~lization of a mixture of silica and all.lmina hydrogels in the presence of a nitrogenous org~anic ba.se., such as al.lyl~mnonium com-polmds, or their precursors : also alkali metal ions may be present in such a system.
The ni.trogenous or~anlc compounds fulfil tY/o important requirements,viz.:
-primi.ng the formation of the zeolite cavities ( template action ) and .~ctlng in a sort of sca.ffolding action to provi.de a skeleton about which the Si ~ and Al04 tetrahedra take an orderly spatial arrangemer.t,and -acting as a co~ ter-ion,by balacing the nega-tive charge whi.ch is originated due to the Al-Si ~ubsti--2Q tutiv~, possibility.
Among the zeolites of the kind rQferred.to abo-re, which are characterized, a3 a rule, by high Si:Al ratios, those desi~lated by the s~-mbol Z~q can be quoted.
On account of their quite particular structure ar~porosity, such zeolites exhibit specific cat~l~ytic ac-tiviti.es for che~ical reac'~ions of outstanding industrlal importance, such as alkylations, isomeri~ations, and the production of synthetic fuels~
The zeolita c~llad 7~ 5 ~ TJS PataIlt Specn.
3,702,88~ ) is ~nown, which ls obtalned by using tetra-~25~3 ~w, .

prop~la~mon;.u~ d~riYati~!~L~. Oth~r ~eolites are likewise l~own, with nit~c~cnous crgænic bas~s, ~l1ong which :
Zeolite ~S~ 11 ( US Pate~t C'recn. 3,70~, 97~ ) Z,eolite ZS~ 12 ( IJS Patent S~ecn~ 3.~32, 449 ) Zeolile Z~ 35 ( US Pat~ S~ecn. 4,016, 245 ) Zeolite "beta" ( US Paten-t Specn. 3,308, 069 ~
When, conversely, the zeolites are prepared without ar,y orgailic base hc-)i.ng present, that is to say,in the presence o. inorgaL.~:.o catiorls only, it is not possihle 'GO obtain zeol L it.s having the properti.es c~
those referred to a~ove.
The zeolites pre-~-,ared with inorganic cations only are materials of the types ~inde A, Faujasite X and.
Y, Mordenite and the lihe~ ~rhich are characterized by an Si : Al ratio comprised ~etween 1 and 5. Such zeolites e~hibit vexy different properties ~rom e~ch other and are used for dehydration, cation-exchange and catalytic cracking reactions.
It has now been :~o~uld, quite surprisingly, that ~0 it is possible to obtain a.l.kyla~onium-type zeolites by hydrothermal crystallizati.on of hydrogels of silica and alumina which contai.n inorg~.ic bases only, by having recourse to organic substc~ ces ~i-hich contain hydroxyl functions, such as alcohol~ and phenols, and more parti--cularly glycols, polyglycols (mol wt ovcr 400), and poly hydro~rl substances, or substances which evolve hydro~yl or polyhydroxyl compour.ds.
~he meaning OI this fact is that, contrary to the teachings of the prior alld conte~porary a-t, it is no longer necessary, for prearing such zeolites, to resort l 162~23 to nitrogenous organic subs-tances having a basic charac-ter (organic cations or precursors thereof) to which there had been exclusively attrihuted heret.ofore the privilege oE promoting the formation of the zeoli-te cavities, In particular, the present invention provides a process for producing aluminosilicates having a porous structure, oE the -type of ZSM-5 or ZSM-35 zeolites, with a molar ratio of silica to alumina of from 5 to 500, by hydrothermally treating a homogeneous aqueous mixture free from nitrogenous bases and consisting of a source of silica, a source of alumina and alkali me-tal and/or alkaline earth metal ions, in a -temperature range of from 100C to 200C for a time of from 2 days to 6 weeks, eharacterized by adding to said mixture in organic sub-stance having an hydroxyl functi.on adapted -to form zeolite eavities, said organic substance being se].ected from -the class consisting of phenols and po].yphenols, the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal ions acting as counter-ions only, the atomie ratio o:E the alkali metal to the aluminum being at least close to and not more than 1, and the atomic ratio of alkaline earth me-tal being at least close to and not more than 0.5.
When operating in accordance with the teachings of this inven-tion, the counter-ion .Eunction is EulEilled, quite in a surprising way, by the alkali metal ion only and exclusively. Matter-of-factly, the experiences which have been made have shown that, in the end product, the alkali metal cation : Al ratio is close to 1.
Alkaline earth metal ions can likewise be ex-ploited; in such a case, the ratio of the alkaline earth metal cation to aluminum is near 0.5.
The adoption of substances which contain -the hydroxyl function is a considerable advance in the pro-eess for manufacturing these zeolites, due to the low 1 ~2~23 cos-t, -the absence or toxicity and the lesser pollution hazards as possessed by the product which contain the hydroxyl functions as compared with the nitrogenous or-ganic bases.
Another advantage stemming from the use of a material possessing the hydroxyl function is the impro-ved ease of removal. of the fraction of organic product which, upon crystallization with the hydrothermal proce-dure, is left occludcd in thc zcol.ite challnels: this i5 a definite improvement over -the methods using nitrogenous organic bases. With these latter, in fact, carbonization is necessary and the complete removal of the organic phases is achieved only after firing in air during many hours, ./ _ - 3a -~ S~3 '-- ~L --' such as 16 llour~ or more, at 450C-5~0C.
With the organic h~rdro~ylated products used according to -the present i-n~ention, the removal, even taking place in dependellce of the molecular weight of the substance concer~ed an be started fxom 120C and takes place without any ~compositionsS so tha-t ihe substance can be recovere~ arld recycled.
The method accordillg to the present invention for producing zeolltes cor!templates the preparation OI
a homogeneous aqueous ml~ re consisting of a silica source ~nd an alun~ina source and all~ali metal bases, or alkaline earth meta] ba~es9 to which at least one organic s~1bstance is added, which contains at least one hydrogyl ~unc-tion.
The atomic ratio aluminum : alkali m~tal must not be less than 1.
The mixture in ~ue3tion is ~ubjected to a a hydrothermal pxocessing ~n at autogenous, i.e. sel~
generated, pressure, at a temperature comprised be-~Q tween 100C and 200C and Eor a time variable from 2 days to 6 weeks.
On completion of such a treatment, a crystal-line product is obtained, ~hich is withdra~m from the liquid phase, carefully ~e~ched with water and dried.
The dried product can be fired as such at the temperature of 250C, or, as an alte~nativet it can be subjected to cation-exchange with a_monlum acetate (or N~4~nitrate), according to the conventional routine. During progress of this operation, the hydrozylated product passes into the aqueous phase, wherefrom it can ~Qe recovered.

On completicrl of ~his v~ep, the zeoli+e ~ontains th~

By wayr of mere r~:rientation ~.d without any limitation to the exempla.~ ranges, the preferred mo-lar ~atios for the react~ ls are :

-` 15 OH- are the hydroxyls of tl1e alkali metal hydroxide, R.OH indicates the hydro~ylats~d or~anic subst~nce;
Me~ stands for the ~lkali met~l cation ( or al~aline earth metal cation.
. For the reason~ set forth above of economy and~
or lo~v toxicity, ~mong the substances having the hydroxyl function, the preferred ones are, alone or in ad~ix~l-e, et~ylene glycol, propanedio.l3~ butanediols, pentanediols, hexanediols, diethylene glycol, t~iethyleneglycol, poly~
ethylene ~lycols, polypropylene glycols, glycerol, inositol, phenolmarnitol and polyphenols, such as hydroquinone.
A few e~amples will now be given hereinafter to illustrate the invention without limitation.
E x a m p 1 e This example illustrates the synthesis of a zeolite having a high Si:Al ratio, by uvlng glycerol ~ 25~3 ( l,2,3-proparletriol) as thc agent i~or promoting the ~o~mation of the zeolite cavities.
In ~ Pyzex-glass vessfl equipped with a stirrer and placed in an atmosphere devoid of carbon diov.id*, there are placed 24 g (grarnS) OI Al(N03)3~9H20, dissol-ved in 200 g of anh.e-than-Jl, ~rhereafter there are added9 with stirring, 240 g of tetraethylorthosilicate. ~s the solution becomes clear. i~,at which t~kes 30 mins~approx., there are added ~5 g o~ glycerol and, immediately there-after, 1,500 g of distilled wa-ter. There is added now, with vigorous stirring, a solution of 23 g o~ NaOH in 500 g of water : a homogeneous ~el is fo~med shortly thereafter, Heat is then a~Linistered, -the temperature being gradually raised fro~ the ambient value up -to 90 G
durin~ a period of 24 hours~ ~ith constant stirring.
At this stage, the reactloil L~i~ture~ which has a pH ll.~ , is txansferred into a stainless steel ~utoclave equipped with a stirring mechanism and the hydrothermal run is started: it is efected by majntairling the temperature at 175 C for eight(8) dæys, with stirring and ~der the self-generated or autogenous pressure. On co~pletion of this treatment, the mi~ture is cooled to room temperature and the crystalline product, thu~ obtained is collected on a filter, ~ashed ma~y a time with dist.water at about 80C ard is eventually ~r-ied at 120 C.
The chemical composition of the thusly obtained product denounces the presence of org~nic substances and water, which are driven off b~ firing in air at 350 C
during 12 hours.

of obtaining dif~erent 2eo1ite structures by exploitin~

In point of IaCt, in tke instant ex?~ple a zeolite is cbtained, which is conventionally designated as Z~ 35, by using glycero]. as in Ex~mple 1 hereof.
With the same procedure as detailed in the previous example, a solution of 4 g of NaOH and 109 g of N?~lO2(42~o by wt of Al203 , 31% by wt Na20 , and .

~1625~3 27% by wt H20) in 80~ g Oî water, is supple~cnt~d ~!ith 736 g o~ glycel~o]. ~l coml)letion of the dlssolutio~, there are added 1200 g o~ ~udox*A.S.40~0 colloidal si-lica and the ~nixture i~ heated, ~ith stirring, to 80C
for 6 hours.
The reaction mixture (pH 12.0) iS no~ transfer-ed into a stainless-steel autoclave e~lipped with a stixrer for the hydrother~al ~un a~ C for a ~uration o:E 6 days.
On co~pletion ar this stage, the mixture is allowed to cool, and the æs formed crystalline product is collected on a filter, washe~ and dried.
The chemical analy-r;is of the ~roduct ~hich has been obtalned has given -the following results:
Al203 = 9~15~o by wt and Na20 = 5.87~ by wt The X-ray dif~raction pattern corresponds to that reported for the ~eolite ZSM-35 (US Pate~t Specn.

This example illustrates the use, as the ~ub-stance which encourages the f~r~ation of the zeolitecaviti~s, of a bivalent alcohol, that is, 1~2-pro~anediol.
With the same proced~res,reactants and amounts of the latter as described in E~a~ple 1 hereof, but with the only difference of replaoing the 45 g of glycerol by 45 g of 1,2 propanediol, a crystalline product has been .

* Trade Mark 1 162~23 obtained, which had the same structure as ZSM-5.
The product analyzes:
Product, as such: A12O3-4.7~ by wt and Na2O-2.6~ b~ wt Product, in H+form: Al2O3 = 4.7~ by wt - Na2O = 0-05% by wt Example 4 This example illustrates the synthesis of zeolites by means of polyglycols: in the case in point, the substance which is used for causing the ~ormation of the zeolite cavities is triethylene ylycol.
With the same procedures as in Example l hereof, 24 g of Al(NO3)3.9H2O, dissolved in 200 g of ethanol, are reacted with 240 g of tetraethylorthosilicate, whereafter 90 g of triethylene glycol, 1,500 g of distilled water and eventually 23 g of NaOH are added thereto. The reaction mixture (pH 11.1) is now subjected to the subsequent treatments as outlined in Example 1 hereof.
The crystalline product which is thus obtained, when examined for its X-ray pattern, shows that it is the zeolite designated as ZSM-5, the X-ray diffraction pattern of which is reported on Table 1 of the US Pat.Specn. 3,702,886.
The chemical analysis has given the following data:

Upon dissolution, there are added 300 g of Ludox AS 40~
colloidal silica and heat is admini.stered with stirring at 90C for six (6) hours.
The reaction mixture, which has a pH 12.8, is transferred into an autoclave for the hydrothermal run at 145C
for a time of nine (9) days.
The thusly obtained product thus obtained, after the further steps as described in the previous examples is subjected to X-ray analysis and proved to be a ZSM-5 zeolite with traces of Mordenite.
~ xample 6 sy using the same procedures and reactants as in the previous examples hereof and replacing the 140 g of cyclo-hexanedimethanol by 140 g of inositol and carrying out the hydrothermal run at 180C for a time of ten (10) dàys, there has been obtained, on completion of the operations described herein, the zeolite designated as ZMS-5 in admixture with scanty quantities of Mordenite.

Example 7 This example illustrates the synthesis of a zeolite by using as the substance which determines the formation of the zeolite cavities a hydroxylated derivative having the phenolic function, and exactly hydroquinone.
With the same routine as in Example l hereof, there are dissolved 24 g of Al(NO3)3.9H2O in 200 g of anh.ethanol, whereafter there are added 240 g of tetraethylorthosilicate.
As the solution becomes clear, there are added thereto 60 g of hydroquinone and immediately afterwards 42 g of NaOH dissolved in 200 g of water.
The final mixture, having a pH 10.5, is transferred into an autoclave and maintained therein at 180C for twelve (12) days. ~he product which has been obtained after the steps described herein has been analyzed for its X-ray diffraction pattern and has proved -to be a ZSM-5 zeolite.
From the examples reported in the foregoing, it is extremely interesting the fact that the exchange operation for ohtaining the protonic formation is now feasible, accordiny to the invention, without any previous firing, contrary to what is conversely required when the organic phases suggested by the prior art are used.
This fact is a clear indication of the circumstance that the bonds with the inorganic matrix are different in the case in which the organic bases according to the prior art are used and in the case in which the organic compounds having hydroxyl functions are conversely used accoxding to the teachings of this invention.
