Abstract

The catalytic properties of large pore zeolite (mordenite, beta, and Y) with 12-membered rings were comparatively evaluated in the synthesis of diethylamines from ethanol amination. The number of strong acid sites, which obviously promoted the formation of mono- and diethylamines, was decreased with the increase of Si/Al ratio of the zeolites that were used. H-beta and H-Y zeolites with multidimensional pore channels favorably formed diethylether by the dimerization of ethanol, due to their large cage volumes and low acid strength. On the other hand, H-mordenite which has one dimensional straight channel was shown to be suitable for the formation of mono- and diethylamine which are well known as the useful intermediates of fine chemicals.

12-고리를 갖는 큰 기공 제올라이트인 H-모더나이트, H-베타, H-Y상에서 에탄올 아민화반응에 의한 디에틸아민합성반응을 수행하였다. 사용된 큰 기공 제올라이트의 Si/Al 비 증가는 강산점의 감소를 가져왔으며 이 강산점의 세기는 아민으로의 생성 증가와 관련지을 수 있었다. 다차원 채널 형태를 갖는 H-베타, H-Y 제올라이트는 큰 둥지 부피와 낮은 산점세기로 인해 에탄올의 이량화반응에 의한 디에틸에테르의 생성을 촉진하였다. 직선 기공 채널 형태를 갖고 있는 H-모더나이트 제올라이트는 정밀화학 중간체로 널리 쓰이는 모노, 디에틸아민 합성에 적합하였다.
