Abstract
The formation of intermediate phases during aging of the reaction gel composition 1.0Al2O3•1.0P2O5•1.5DPA•40H2O and its subsequent crystallization into molecular sieves AlPO-11 and AlPO-41 was studied in this work. The initial gels and crystallization products were characterized by XRD; MAS NMR 27Al and 31P; scanning electron microscopy (SEM); transmission electron microscopy (TEM); and N2-physical adsorption. It has been found that the nature of the aluminum source used to prepare the gel has a significant effect on the properties of the resulting intermediate phases. It is shown that by changing the chemical and phase composition of the intermediate aluminophosphate, it is possible to control the morphology and characteristics of the secondary porous structure of the AlPO-11 molecular sieve. The formation of the intermediate phases with a layered structure opens the possibility to synthesize high-phase purity AlPO-41 at the di-n-propylamine/Al2O3 ratio = 1.5. The formation mechanisms of AlPO-11 and AlPO-41 are proposed depending on the phase composition of the intermediate phases.
