Description
Detailed description of the invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to ZSM-23 molecular sieves, as well as methods for preparing and using them, and more particularly to ZSM-23 molecular sieves rich in mesopores, as well as methods for preparing and using them. [Background technology] ZSM-23 molecular sieves are molecular sieve materials with a high SiO₂ / Al₂O₃ ratio and an MTT topology structure, and their one-dimensional teardrop-shaped porous channels are composed of 10-membered rings. Due to their unique porous channel structure and tunable acid properties, ZSM-23 molecular sieves are widely used in the fields of separation, adsorption, and catalysis, playing an irreplaceable role. In the petrochemical industry in particular, they demonstrate excellent performance in the hydrocracking of long-chain alkanes and olefins, and the isomerization of alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. However, because ZSM-23 is a microporous molecular sieve, its ability to handle larger molecules is limited due to the limited porous channel size. Therefore, to further expand its range of applications, it is crucial to prepare high-performance ZSM-23 molecular sieves with abundant mesopores. Currently, there are very few published patents for introducing a mesoporous structure into microporous ZSM-23 molecular sieves. CN106513035 discloses a method for preparing a composite molecular sieve using a ZSM-23 molecular sieve as the core and MCM-41 or SBA-15 as the shell. According to this method, the mesopores are provided by the mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 or SBA-15. Due to its inherent stability and limited silica-alumina ratio range, the prepared composite molecular sieve also suffers from drawbacks such as insufficient stability and a narrow range of adjustable silica-alumina ratios. CN105540607 discloses a method for preparing multi-stage pore channel composite molecular sieves ZSM-22/ZSM-23. However, since both ZSM-22 and ZSM-23 molecular sieves have a microporous structure, the mesoporous structure involved is mainly stacked pores, resulting in low regularity and stability. According to CN107235497, starch is added to modify the synthesis pathway of the ZSM-23 molecular sieve and removed by calcination in a later stage, resulting in a ZSM-23 molecular sieve with a mesoporous-microporous hierarchical composite structure. While this method is simple and low-cost, the removal of the pore-expanding agent results in a mesoporous structure, which affects thermal and hydrothermal stability. Common methods for preparing micropore-mesopore composite molecular sieves include post-treatment with alkalis or acids, hard template methods, and surfactant methods, and detailed processing methods have been reported multiple times in papers and patents. However, these methods can lead to the destruction of the microporous structure of the molecular sieves, resulting in insufficient stability of the resulting products, or the processes may be too complex and costly, raising concerns about their applicability. Therefore, developing a ZSM-23 molecular sieve rich in mesoporous structures that is simple, low-cost, and possesses excellent product performance is a technical challenge that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. [Summary of the Invention] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a ZSM-23 molecular sieve and a method for preparing the same, the molecular sieve having a rich mesoporous structure and good hydrothermal stability. The present invention provides a ZSM-23 molecular sieve in which the pore size of the molecular sieve is 3 to 8 nm, preferably 3 to 6 nm, and the pore volume of the mesopores is 45 to 90%, preferably 50 to 85%, and more preferably 55 to 81% of the total pore volume of the molecular sieve; the relative crystallinity of the molecular sieve is 95 to 120%, and the relative crystallinity retention rate of the molecular sieve after hydrothermal treatment with steam at 600°C for 2 hours is 95 to 100%. According to the molecular sieve described above, the molecular sieve has a specific surface area of 300 to 430 m² /g, a pore volume of 0.31 to 0.5 cm² /g, a specific surface area of micropores of 50 to 170 m² /g, and a specific surface area of mesopores of 150 to 310 m² /g; preferably, a specific surface area of 320 to 405 m² /g, a pore volume of 0.34 to 0.45 cm³ /g, a specific surface area of micropores of 80 to 140 m² /g, and a specific surface area of mesopores of 261 to 295 m³ /g. The present invention also provides a method for preparing a ZSM-23 molecular sieve, comprising the following steps: (1) A step of preparing or selecting a silicon source, such as amorphous silica, for preparing a ZSM-23 molecular sieve; (2) A step of performing an alkali treatment on the silicon source for preparing the ZSM-23 molecular sieve described in step (1); (3) A step of preparing a ZSM-23 molecular sieve using alkali-treated amorphous silica as a silicon
