Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a synthetic crystalline zeolite material, to said synthetic crystalline zeolite material, and to the uses of said method and said synthetic crystalline zeolite material in various applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for the preparation of a synthetic crystalline zeolite material comprising micropores and mesopores, said method either increasing the micropore volume without generating an additional mesoporosity, or creating uniform mesoporosity while maintaining or increasing the microporosity of said synthetic crystalline, said synthetic crystalline zeolite material having a silicon to aluminum molar ratio Si/Al≥1 and, wherein said method comprises at least the following steps: 1 o ) a step of dissolving a solid NH 4 F in a solvent creating a NH 4 F solution, said NH 4 F solution has a pH of approximately 7; 1) a step of contacting the NH 4 F solution with a dry starting crystalline zeolite material at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to 100° C., said NH 4 F solution having a NH 4 F mass concentration of at least 15 wt % and said starting crystalline zeolite material being a zeolite material in which the micropore volume represents more than 70% of the total pore volume and having a silicon to aluminum molar ratio Si/Al≥1, wherein said step 1) is carried out at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to 60° C.; 2) a washing step; 3) a drying step at a temperature ranging from 25° C. to 120° C., for 1 h to 24 h, to recover said synthetic crystalline zeolite material, wherein the pH of the NH 4 F solution during the contacting step is approximately 8 or greater, and wherein the Si/Al molar ratio of the dry starting crystalline zeolite material does not vary as a result of said method by more than about 1 from said silicon to aluminum molar ratio Si/Al≥1 of said synthetic crystalline zeolite material. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step 1) is carried out for a time ranging from 5 to 180 minutes. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of solid NH 4 F/starting crystalline zeolite material used in step 1) ranges from 0.5 to 25. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein it further comprises a step of ion exchanging. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the NH 4 F solution used in step 1) has a NH 4 F mass concentration of at least 20 wt %. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step 1) is performed by: immersing the dry starting crystalline zeolite material in the NH 4 F solution to form a heterogeneous mixture, and then by stirring said heterogeneous mixture; or pouring the NH 4 F solution on the dry starting crystalline zeolite material so as to saturate its micropore volume, and then by filtrating it so as to remove the excess of NH 4 F solution and to form an impregnated solid. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein it further comprises a step of functionalizing said synthetic crystalline zeolite material with at least one active compound. 8. The method as defined in claim 1 , wherein said method introduces micropores having a mean dimension of more than 1 nm and/or mesopores having a mean dimension of 2 to 25 nm while maintaining or increasing the micropore volume, in a crystalline zeolite material which is essentially microporous. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the Si/Al molar ratio of the dry starting crystalline zeolite material does not vary as a result of said method by more than about 0.1 from said silicon to aluminum molar ratio Si/Al≥1 of said synthetic crystalline zeolite material.
