Abstract

The purpose of/problem to be addressed by the present invention is to provide: an Fe(II)-substituted beta-type zeolite useful for the catalytic removal of a variety of gases; and a production method therefor. The SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio in this Fe(II)-substituted beta-type zeolite is equal to or more than 7 but less than 10. This Fe(II)-substituted beta-type zeolite is obtained by being subjected to ionic exchange with Fe(II) ions. It is preferable that the Fe(II) loading amount be in the range of 0.001-0.4 mmol/g of the Fe(II)-substituted beta-type zeolite. It is preferable that the Fe(II)-substituted beta-type zeolite be produced using a method in which a beta-type zeolite having an SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 is dispersed in an Fe(II) water-soluble-compound aqueous solution, and then mixed and agitated to cause the beta-type zeolite to carry Fe(II) ions.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 and obtained by being subjected to ionic exchange with Fe(II) ions, and wherein an Fe(II) loading amount is 0.001 to 0.25 mmol/g with respect to the Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite, a BET specific surface area is 300 to 600 m2/g, a micropore specific surface area is 270 to 500 m2/g, and a micropore volume is 0.14 to 0.25 cm3/g.

2. The Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 , wherein as the beta-type zeolite before subjected to ionic exchange with Fe (II) ions, a beta-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 is used.

3. The Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 , which contains lithium ions.

4. A gas adsorbent comprising the Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 .

5. A method for producing an Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 , which comprises a step of dispersing a beta-type zeolite having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 in an Fe (II) water-soluble-compound aqueous solution and then mixing and agitating to cause the beta-type zeolite to carry Fe (II) ions.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein 0.1 to 3 times the amount by mole of the Fe (II) of ascorbic acid is added to the aqueous solution upon the mixing and agitating.

7. A method for removing nitric oxide, which comprises bringing an Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 and obtained by being subjected to ionic exchange with Fe (II) ions into contact with nitric oxide or nitric oxide-containing gas to cause nitric oxide to be adsorbed on the Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite.

8. A method for removing hydrocarbons, which comprises bringing an Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 having an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of equal to or more than 7 but less than 10 and obtained by being subjected to ionic exchange with Fe (II) ions into contact with hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon-containing gas to cause hydrocarbons to be adsorbed on the Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite.

9. The Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 , wherein the loading amount of Fe (II) is no more than 0.142 mmol/g of the Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite.

10. The Fe (II)-substituted beta-type zeolite according to claim 1 , wherein, as the beta-type zeolite prior to ion exchange with Fe(II) ions, a beta-type zeolite with a BET specific surface area of 300 to 600 m2/g, a micropore specific surface area of 270 to 500 m2/g, and a micropore volume of 0.14 to 0.25 cm3/g is used.
