Abstract:

The crystallization behavior of the initial gels containing the structure-directing agents of triethylamine, cyclohexylamine or tetraethylammonium hydroxide under ambient pressure and autogenous pressure at elevated temperature was investigated. At 300 or 180 ℃ under ambient pressure, highly crystalline aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO4-5 was rapidly crystallized from the initial gels containing triethylamine, cyclohexylamine or tetraethylammonium hydroxide. When the same initial gels were loaded into autoclaves and heated at 180 ℃ in an oven, three-dimensional open-framework aluminophosphate JDF-20, layered aluminophosphate UT-5, and a mixture containing aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO4-5, were obtained, respectively. The crystallization process of the initial gel containing triethylamine under ambient pressure was investigated with in situ thermogravimetric-mass spectroscopy analysis. It was confirmed that the formation of aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO4-5 under ambient pressure was mainly occurred in the stage of 150—300 ℃. We found that the pressure can significantly affect the structure-directing effect of amines. This finding greatly enhanced the understanding on the formation process and crystallization mechanism of zeolites and open-framework crystals.
