Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of relativeX-ray diffraction intensiti

3、es of zeolites having the faujasitecrystal structure, including synthetic Y and X zeolites, theirmodifications such as the various cation exchange forms, andthe dealuminized, decationated, and ultrastable forms of Y.These zeolites have cubic symmetry with a unit cell parameterusually within the limi

5、e product of the peak height and thepeak width.1.4 The method provides a number that is the ratio ofintensity of portions of the XRD pattern of the sample tointensity of the corresponding portion of the pattern of areference zeolite, NaY. (Laboratories may use a modified Y orX, for example, REY as a

6、 secondary standard.) The intensityratio, expressed as a percentage, is then labeled “% XRDintensity/NaY.”1.5 Under certain conditions such a ratio is the percentzeolite in the sample. These conditions include:1.5.1 The zeolite in the sample is the same as the referencezeolite.1.5.2 The absorption f

9、Determine the Precision of a Test Method23. Summary of Test Method3.1 The XRD patterns of the zeolite containing sample andthe reference sample (NaY), are obtained under the sameconditions. If the XRD pattern of the zeolite is sufficientlystrong, a comparison of intensities of eight peaks is used to

10、give % XRD intensity/NaY. For lower zeolite content intensi-ties of the (533) peak (23.5 with Cu Ka radiation) arecompared to provide “% XRD intensity/NaY (533).”4. Significance and Use4.1 Zeolites Y and X, particularly for catalyst and adsorbentapplications, are a major article of manufacture and c

11、ommerce.Catalysts and adsorbents comprising these zeolites in variousforms plus binder and other components have likewise becomeimportant. Y-based catalysts are used for fluid catalytic crack-ing (FCC) and hydrocracking of petroleum, while X-basedadsorbents are used for desiccation, sulfur compound

12、removal,and air separation.4.2 This X-ray procedure is designed to monitor these Y andX zeolites and catalysts and adsorbents, providing a numbermore or less closely related to percent zeolite in the sample.This number has proven useful in technology, research, andspecifications.4.3 Drastic changes

13、in intensity of individual peaks in theXRD patterns of Y and X can result from changes of distribu-tion of electron density within the unit cell of the zeolite. Theelectron density distribution is dependent upon the extent offilling of pores in the zeolite with guest molecules, and on thenature of t

14、he guest molecules. In this XRD method, the guestmolecule H2O completely fills the pores. Intensity changesmay also result if some or all of the cations in Y and X areexchanged by other cations.4.3.1 Because of the factors mentioned in 4.3 that couldvary the intensities of the XRD peaks, this XRD me

Procedure8.1 Carry out the following steps, 8.2 through 8.5, in anidentical manner for both the sample and the reference mate-rial, NaY.8.2 Place about 3 to5gofthesample in the drying oven at110C for 1 h. Cool the sample in the hydrator and hold atroom temperature and 35 % relative

22、 humidity for at least 16 h.NOTE 2Drying, followed by rehydration, results in filling the zeolitepores with water of hydration but without an excess of moisture residingon the surface of the zeolite particles.8.3 Pack the humidity-conditioned sample into an XRDsample holder.8.4 Obtain a first XRD pa

23、ttern by scanning over the anglerange from 14 to 35 2u at about 1/min and using otherinstrument parameters best suited to the diffractometer.8.4.1 If a strip chart recorder is used, set the chart drive at 10mm/min. Select the scale factor (amplification) for the NaYreference pattern so that the stro

24、ng (533) peak at 23.6 isbetween 50 and 100 % of full scale. For the sample the scalefactor may be reduced (amplification increased) to providereasonable peak heights. If possible the height of the (533)peak for the sample should be at least 10 % of full scale. Fig.1 shows such patterns for the refer

25、ence NaY and for azeolite-containing catalyst.8.5 If this first pattern of the sample contains XRD peaks ofsome nonfaujasite components, it must be established whetherthis may cause interference in the following steps. (Fig. 2 is acomplete diffractometer scan for NaY.)8.6 Obtain a second XRD pattern

26、 by scanning over a smallangle range at14 /min.NOTE 3Longer scan times will be required for samples having alower content of zeolite. For example 0.02 2u/step for 1 s may beacceptable for a pure NaY while 10 to 20 s counting times per step maybe required for a low level of zeolite samples.8.6.1 The

27、preferred angle range is from 22.5 to 25 2u, the(533) peak. Fig. 3 shows such a pattern for NaY. If interferencerules out this range, choose for this step (for both the sampleand the reference patterns) one of the following angle ranges:14.0 to 17.0, (331) peak19.0 to 22.0, (440) peak25.5 to 28.0, (

28、642) peakNOTE 4These ranges in Step 8.6 each are of such width that two ormore zeolite peaks are included. Such wide ranges are specified to allowfor the variation in peak position over the range of unit cell dimensions24.2 to 25.0 (2.42 to 2.50 mm) and to provide a background reading oneach side of

29、 the main peak. Within each range the major zeolite peak willbe the desired one. See Appendix X1 of peak positions.9. Calculation9.1 Obtain an integral peak intensity for each of the eightpeaks (measured above background) chosen from the patternsfrom 8.4, for both the sample and reference, in one of

30、 threeways:9.1.1 By approximating the area under the peak as theproduct of peak height and peak width at half height (use 9.2for appropriate area calculations), or9.1.2 By measuring the area under the peak with a planime-ter (use 9.3 for area by planimeter), or9.1.3 From the counts recorded by a dig

31、ital integratingsystem (use 9.4 for integrator counts calculation).9.2 Approximate Area Calculation:9.2.1 A scale factor correction, SFC, is the ratio of the scalefactor used for the sample pattern, SFX, to that used for thereference pattern, SFR. Thus, SFC = SFX/SFR. Scale factors areusually expres

32、sed in terms of counts per second correspondingto full scale on the recorder. They are related inversely toamplification.9.2.2 Measure the width of the (533) or alternative peaksobtained in Step 8.6. The width is measured at half the peakheight, that is, half way between the background and the peakm

33、aximum. Obtain the width factor, WF, which is the ratio ofthe peak width of the sample, WX, to that of the NaY referencematerial, WR. Thus, WF = WX/WR.NOTE 5Peak broadening occurs for a variety of reasons. Pertinent forzeolite are the following: crystals may be of limited size, below 0.2 m;crystals

34、may contain disorder; crystals may exist with a range of unit celldimensions; and diffraction may originate from varying depths below thesample surface, limited by absorption, and related to density of packing ofthe sample.3Available from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 100Bur

This involves acomparison of the sums of peak heights (measured abovebackground) from the patterns obtained in Step 8.4. The ratioof these sums must

36、be corrected for difference in scale factor,by use of SFC as determined in Step 9.2.1, and for differencein peak widths, by use of WF as determined in Step 9.2.2. Eightpeaks are included in the summation in Table 1:NOTE 6The 2u value ranges tabulated in Table 1 are appropriate forzeolites with unit

37、cell dimensions 24.2 to 25.0 . (2.42 to 2.50 nm).NOTE 7If nonzeolite components give XRD peaks interfering withcertain of the tabulated peaks, these latter peaks should be omitted fromthe sums, both for the sample and for the reference NaY.9.2.4 The equation used is the following:% XRD intensity/NaY

38、 5 SFX 3 WF 3 SX/SR! 3 100 (1)where:SX= sum of peak heights for the sample andSR= sum for the reference NaY.This test method relies on two assumptions, that the peakintensities are properly expressed as the product of peak heightand peak half width, and that the ratio of half widths obtainedfrom one

39、 peak, the (533) peak, is applicable to the other sevenpeaks used in the summation. The first of these two assump-tions is invalid in the rare case when the peaks are doubletsresulting from presence of two zeolites of distinctly differentunit cell parameters. This preferred method is based on eight

40、ofthe most intense diffraction peaks, not because any single peakis more sensitive to details of crystal structure than is the sumof these eight peaks.9.3 Area By Planimeter:Angle (2u)FIG. 1 X-Ray Diffraction Patterns of ASTM Zeolite Samples UpperNaY; LowerCracking Catalyst IntensityD3906033Angle (2

Use the follow

42、ing equation:% XRD intensity/NaY 5SXSR3 100 (2)where:Sx= sum of integral peak intensities for the sample, andSr= sum of the integral peak intensities for the referenceNaY.9.4 Integrator Counts Calculation:9.4.1 Obtain a value for “% XRD intensity/NaY” by com-paring the sums of integrated peak intens

43、ities (measured abovebackground) by counts from the patterns obtained in 8.4 (seeNote 7). Use the following equation:% XRD intensity/NaY 5SxSr3 100 (3)where:Sx= sum of integral peak intensities for the sample, andSr= sum of the integral peak intensities for the referenceNaY.9.5 Under certain conditi

44、ons it may be desirable to base thecomparison of zeolite XRD intensity on a single peak ratherthan on eight peaks. This is the case when the pattern from thesample is very weak so that only the (533) peak, for example,can be measured. The result of such a single-peak comparisonmay be quite reproduci

45、ble but is not necessarily in closeagreement with the result of the eight-peak method. For thispurpose data on the diffraction patterns obtained in Step 8.6 areused. Peak intensity of the (533) peak (or alternative peak) ofStep 8.6 is measured for both the sample and the referenceNaY in one of three

46、 ways:9.5.1 From the counts recorded by a digital integratingsystem used while obtaining the pattern of Step 8.6;9.5.2 By measuring the area under the peak with a planime-ter;9.5.3 By approximating the area under the peak as theproduct of peak height and peak half width.9.5.4 In all cases the intens

47、ity values are measured abovebackground. In some cases, as seen in Fig. 3, a weak zeolitediffraction peak, (622), is present at 0.25 deg above the (533)peak, and for convenience should be included when measuringthe intensities by either of the first two methods described inthis step.
