Abstract: Using N,N,N-trimethyl-8-ammonium tricyclo [5.2.1.02,6] decane iodide as a structure directing agent, B-SSZ-33 molecular sieves with an excellent price-performance ratio was successfully synthesized by process control over 3-4 days. The synthesis of Al-SSZ-33 was achieved by a post-modification procedure of B-SSZ-33 molecular sieves in an Al(NO3)3 solution. These materials were characterized in detail by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), N2 adsorption/desorption, temperature programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD), and solid state 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al NMR). The temperature programmed desorption characteristics of toluene for the B-SSZ-33 and Al-SSZ-33 samples were obtained to understand the efficacy of these materials as hydrocarbon traps. The results show that Al-SSZ-33 with framework Al was obtained after the post-modification procedures. Compared with B-SSZ-33, Al-SSZ-33 has a higher acid strength and shows a comparatively higher toluene desorption temperature (Tmax). The presence of extra framework Al and Si species in Al-SSZ-33 modifies its pores and results in a higher desorption end temperature (Tend). Therefore, the synthesized Al-SSZ-33 is a novel catalyst for use as a hydrocarbon trap in automobile tailpipes.
