ZEOLITE WITH ENCAPSULATED PLATINUM Claim of Priority [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No.16/703,405 filed on December 4, 2019, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background [0002] Catalytic reforming is a mature industrial technology in the petrochemical field, mainly used for the production of alkenes, high octane gasoline and hydrogen. During the reforming process, feedstocks, such as low-octane straight chain alkanes (paraffins), are reformed into branched alkanes (isoparaffins) and cyclic naphthenes. These molecules are then partially dehydrogenated to produce high-octane aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX). [0003] Bifunctional catalysts consisting of both metal and acid functions are mostly used in this process. Among these type of catalysts, medium pore size ZSM-5 represents the most commonly used zeolite. However, the efficiency and selectivity of ZSM-5 in this process may be limited by the diffusion of reagents into the zeolite network [0004] Another zeolite, ZSM-11 has attracted a significant amount of attention for use as a solid acid catalyst in the aromatization process. ZSM-11 has a high surface area, a high hydrothermal stability, high acidity, a distinctive structure, and shape selectivity. [0005] To form the bifunctional catalysts, metals are generally introduced into zeolites by impregnation methods, in which the formed zeolite catalyst is treated with a metal precursor to form active metal sites. However, using these methods, most metals are distributed on the outside surface of the zeolite, especially in the case of zeolites having small pores, such as ZSM-11. Current research in catalytic reforming is primarily focused on improving the catalysts to improve conversion rates for forming naphthenes and isoparaffins to maximum BTX products. Summary [0006] An embodiment described herein provides a method of making a zeolite with encapsulated platinum. The method includes dissolving an aluminum source in water to form a first solution, dissolving a hydroxide in water to form a second solution, dissolving a templating agent in water to form a third solution, and adding a silica source to the first solution to form a fourth solution. The method further includes adding the second solution to the fourth solution to form a fifth solution, adding the third solution to the fifth solution to form a sixth solution, and adding a platinum source to the sixth solution. The sixth solution is crystallized to form a solid product, which is recovered. The solid product is calcined. An ammonium ion exchange is performed on the solid product to form a second solid product, and the second solid product is calcined. Brief Description of Drawings [0007] Figure 1 is a process flow diagram of a method for forming a zeolite with encapsulated platinum. [0008] Figure 2 is a plot of x-ray diffraction spectrum for the platinum ZSM-11 zeolite. [0009] Figure 3 is a plot comparing the NH3-TPD results for the encapsulated Pt- ZSM-11 to the impregnated Pt-ZSM-11, and the ZSM-11 with no metals. [0010] Figure 4 is a plot comparing the H2-TPR results for the encapsulated Pt- ZSM-11 to the impregnated Pt-ZSM-11. Detailed Description [0011] The encapsulation of metal into the zeolite during synthesis modifies the local geometry around the active sites and, therefore, enhances the catalytic activity and the selectivity towards the formation of aromatics. Embodiments described herein provide a synthesis technique to encapsulate platinum into ZSM-11 zeolite by the direct hydrothermal synthesis of the ZSM-11 in the presence of platinum precursors. These techniques enhance the distribution of the platinum, creating more reactive sites. As a result, the catalytic activity and the selectivity of light hydrocarbon aromatization is enhanced. Compared with conventional impregnated Pt/ZSM-11 catalysts, the conversion and BTX selectivity increased by 10% and 23% respectively for Pt encapsulated ZSM-11 prepared by this invention. [0012] Figure 1 is a process flow diagram of a method 100 for forming a zeolite with encapsulated platinum. The method 100 begins at block 102, when an aluminum source is dissolved in water to form a first solution (Al sol.). The aluminum source may be aluminum nitrate, aluminum sulfate, or aluminum chloride, among others. In an embodiment, the aluminum source is aluminum nitrate nonahydrate. [0013] At block 104, a hydroxide is dissolved water to form a second solution (OH sol). The hydroxide may be lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide. In an embodiment, the hydroxide is sodium hydroxide. [0014] At block 106, a templating agent is dissolved in water to form a third solution (TA sol). For the formation of ZSM-11, the templating agent used is tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide. However, the techniques described herein are not limited to ZSM-11, but may be used to form other zeolites with platinum encapsulation. For example, tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxide may be used as a templating agent to form ZSM-5 in the present techniques. [0015] At block 108, a silica source is added to the first solution (Al sol) to form a fourth solution (Al Si sol). In an embodiment, the silica source is tetraethylorthosilicate. In other embodiments, the silica source is tetramethylorthosilicate. [0016] At block 110, the second solution (OH sol) is added to the fourth solution (Al Si sol) to form a fifth solution (Sol Gel). In various embodiments, the addition is generally peryormed dropwise, for example, allowing each droplet of the second solution to mix with the fourth solution. [0017] At block 112, the third solution (TA Sol) is added to the fifth solution (Sol Gel) to form a sixth solution (Precursor). The addition is performed while vigorously stirring the fifth solution, for example, using a magnetic stir bar on a stirring plate set to high, using a motorized lab stirrer driving an agitator in the solution, or using a sonicator. [0018] At block 114, a platinum sources added to the sixth solution (Precursor). In an embodiment, the platinum source is Pt(NH3)4Cl2·H2O. In other embodiments, the platinum source is K2PtCl4, cis-PtCl ₂ (P(C ₆ H ₅ ) ₃ ) ₂ , (NH ₄ ) ₂ PtCl ₄ , or cis-PtCl ₂ (NH ₃ ) ₂ , among others. [0019] At block 116, th , ed platinum, is treated in an autoclave to force crystallization. In some embodiments, the crystallization is carried out under agitation, for example, using an autoclave that is rotated in an oven. In an embodiment, the autoclave is lined with a PTFE polymer. In another embodiment, the autoclave is formed from a ceramic. In embodiments, the crystallization time is between about 3 to about 7 days, or between about 4 to about 6 days, or about 5 days. The temperature of the crystallization is between about 140 °C and about 200 °C, between about 160 °C and 180 °C, or about 170 °C. [0020] At block 118, the resulting solid product from the crystallization is recovered. In some embodiments, the resulting solid phase is recovered by filtration, for example, in a vacuum filtration system. In other embodiments, the resulting solid product is recovered by high-speed centrifugation. The resulting solid product is rinsed with distilled water, for example, by flowing multiple aliquots of distilled water through the solid product in the vacuum filtration apparatus. [0021] At block 120, the solid product is dried, for example, at between about 90 °C and about 120 °C for about 12 hours to about 16 hours. The dried solid product is then calcined. The calcination may be performed at a temperature of between about 400 °C and about 700 °C, or at a temperature of between about 500 °C and about 600 °C. The calcination may be performed for about 4 hours, about 8 hours, about 12 hours, or about 16 hours. In an embodiment, the calcination is carried out by ramping the temperature from the drying temperature to about 550 °C at about 1 °C/min, then holding the temperature at 550 °C for about 8 hours. After calcination, the solid product is Pt/NaZSM-11. [0022] At block 122, the solid product, Pt/NaZSM-11, is ion exchanged with a source of ammonium ions, such as an ammonium chloride solution. In various embodiments, the ion exchange is performed by immersing the solid product in an ammonium solution. For example, immersing the solid product in an ammonium nitrate solution at a concentration of between about 0.5 M and about 2.0 M, at a temperature of between about 80 °C and about 100 °C, and for about 1 hour to about 2 hours. In other embodiments, the ion exchange is performed at a temperature of between about 60 °C and about 120 °C, at a temperature of between about 80 °C and about 100 °C, or at a temperature of 90 °C. In some embodiments, the source of ammonium ions is an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride. The ion exchange is repeated for a total of two cycles. [0023] At block 124, after the ion exchange with ammonium ions, the resulting solid product is dried and calcined. In some embodiments, this is performed using the same conditions as described with respect to block 120. After calcination, the solid product is PtHZSM-11. [0024] Examples [0025] Materials [0026] Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Sodium hydroxide was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Tetraethylorthosilicate was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Pt(NH ₃ ) ₄ Cl ₂ ·H ₂ O was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. [0027] Synthesis of PtHZSM-11 zeolite [0028] A PtHZSM-11 zeolite was synthesized in the following steps.2.62g of aluminum nitrate nonahydrate was dissolved in 16g of purified water to form a first solution.0.51g of sodium hydroxide was dissolved in 21.4g of purified water to form a second solution.31.45g of tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide was dissolved in 34g of purified water to form a third solution.51g of tetraethyl orthosilicate was dropwise to the first solution to form a fourth solution. All of the second solution was added dropwise to the fourth solution to form a fifth solution. While the fifth solution was vigorously stirred, using a magnetic stirrer, the third solution was added to form a sixth solution. [0029] While stirring the sixth solution, 0.13g of Pt(NH ₃ ) ₄ Cl ₂ ·H ₂ O was added. The solution was stirred for about 30 min., although the Pt(NH3)4Cl2·H2O was dissolved after about 10 min. [0030] Crystallization was then performed on the sixth solution containing the dissolved Pt(NH ₃ ) ₄ Cl ₂ ·H ₂ O. The crystallization was carried out under agitation in a Teflon-lined autoclave at 170 °C for 6 days. The autoclave was mounted onto a rotation holder installed in an oven. The rotation holder was rotated by a motor located outside of the oven. The rotation speed was set to about 60 rpm. The agitation from the rotation accelerated the formation of primary seeds, and, thus, accelerated the crystallization process. [0031] The resulting solid phase was recovered by filtration, then washed with distilled water. The separation was performed using a conventional vacuum filtration process. The water aliquots were added on top of filter cake until no white precipitant was detected by the addition of a 0.1 M AgNO3 solution to aliquots of the filtrate. The product was then dried at about 90-120 °C for about 16 hours. [0032] The dried product was calcined in air at 550 C for 8 hours, using a ramp rate of 1 °C/min. to raise the temperature from the drying temperature to the calcining temperature. The Pt/NaZSM-11 wives obtained from the calcination. [0033] After calcination, the Pt/NaZSM-11 was ion exchanged with NH ₄ ⁺ two times at 80-100°C using 0.5-2.0M of NH4NO3 (or NH4Cl aqueous solution) for 1-2 hours. The ion exchanged zeolite was calcined under the same conditions as the Pt/NaZSM-11, providing a final product of Pt/HZSM-11. [0034] Characterization procedures [0035] X-ray analyses [0036] The crystallinity and phase purity of the solid product was measured by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) using a Rigaku Ultima IV multi-purpose diffractometer with a copper X-ray tube. The scanning range was set between 2° to 50° in 2θ Bragg-angles with a step size of 0.04°and the total counting time of 1° per minute. The crystallinity percentage was calculated by PANalytical High Score Plus software through the comparison of the area under the most intense diffraction peak, at 22.8° (2θ), to that of patterns of the reference zeolite. Weight percent of platinum was calculated by adding 1% of Pt to the total of SiO ₂ and Al ₂ O ₃ , and measured by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). [0037] Surface area and pore volume [0038] Surface area and pore volume were measured using a physisorption analyzer (Autosorb IQ from Quantachrome Instruments). Nitrogen adsorption at 77 K is a commonly applied technique to determine various characteristics of porous materials. The amount of adsorbed nitrogen is measured as a function of the applied vapor pressure, which comprises the adsorption isotherm. [0039] The following characteristics are derived from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm, total pore volume calculated by total nitrogen adsorbed, and surface area. The most widely used procedure for the determination of the surface area of porous materials is the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) theory aims to explain the physical adsorption of gas molecules on a solid surface and serves as the basis for an important analysis technique for the measurement of the specific surface area of materials. In 1938, Stephen Brunauer, Paul Hugh Emmett, and Edward Teller published the first article about the BET theory in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The BET theory applies to systems of multilayer adsorption and usually utilizes probing gases that do not chemically react with material surfaces as adsorbates to quantify specific surface area. Nitrogen is the most commonly employed gaseous adsorbate used for surface probing by BET methods. [0040] For this reason, standard BET analysis is most often conducted at the boiling temperature of N2 (77 K). Specific surface area is a scale-dependent property, with no single true value of specific surface area definable, and thus quantities of specific surface area determined through BET theory may depend on the adsorbate molecule utilized and its adsorption cross section. The BET surface area is calculated by constructing a BET plot using the relative pressure range up to 0.3. In this part of the isotherm a single layer (or monolayer) of nitrogen molecules is formed on the surface. [0041] Acidity and Active Metal Sites [0042] Acidity and active metal sites were measured using a chemisorption analyzer (ChemStar from Quantachrome instruments) to perform ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR). [0043] To measure the catalyst acidity by NH3-TPD, a catalyst sample is loaded in a U-shape tube, which is inserted into a sample holder in a furnace. [0044] After the sample is added in a cell and put inside the furnace of chemisorption unit, the sample is dried at 500 °C for 35 min with the flow of He gas, and thus is cooled to 50 °C, after that, the gas is switched to the treatment gas, a 10% NH ₃ /He blend, which is flowed through the sample at a rate of about 30 cc/min at about 50 °C for about 35 minutes. After the treatment is completed, a postflush flow of carrier gas is passed through the catalyst sample at a flow rate of about 25 cc/min. for about two minutes. To collect data, the thermal conductivity detector is enabled. The TCD parameters include setting an automatic baseline, running at a TCD current of about 75 mA, and a TCD gain of 2. During the data collection, the signal from the TCD is recorded at a rate of about one data point every 50 seconds. The flow rate of the He carrier gas set to about 30 cc/min. A temperature ramp is used, wherein the initial temperature is set to about 50 °C and the final temperature is set to about 550 °C, with a ramp rate of about 10 °C. The sample is held at the maximum temperature for about 5 minutes. The desorbed NH3 is analyzed by TCD detector. The TCD detector will record the NH3 amount. The total acidity is measured by the area of the peaks, while the acid strength is measured by the peak locations. The peak area can be integrated by the analysis software. [0045] To measure the metal dispersion and active sites by H2-TPR, a catalyst sample is loaded in a U-shape tube, which is inserted into a sample holder in a furnace. After the sample is added in a cell and put inside the furnace of chemisorption unit, the sample is dried at 500 °C for 35 min with the flow of He gas, and thus is cooled to 100 °C. The thermal conductivity detector is enabled, using a current of about 75 mA and a gain of two. The signal sample rate is set to about 50 seconds between each data point collected. For this test, the carrier gas is blend of 5% H ₂ /Ar. A temperature ramp is used, where the initial temperature is set to about 100 °C, and the final temperature is set to about 800 °C, with a ramp rate of about 10 ºC. During the temperature increase, the H2 will be consumed as metals are reduced, for example, H2 + PtO ^ Pt + H2O. The H2 that is consumed will be recorded by the TCD detector, wherein the size of the peaks indicates how much H2 consumed. The peak area can be integrated by the machine. [0046] Results of analyses of PtHZSM-11 [0047] The main properties of the synthesized zeolite include the Pt content, the surface area, and the pore volume. The Pt content of the PtHZSM-11 is between about 0.2 wt. % and about 1 wt. %. The surface area of the PtHZSM-11 is between about 100 and about 500 m ² /g. The pore volume is between about 0.05 and about 0.4 mL/g. Other properties are discussed below. [0048] Figure 2 is a plot 200 of a powder x-ray diffraction spectrum for the platinum ZSM-11 zeolite. In the plot 200, the x-axis is the position 202 of the copper x-ray tube in Bragg angles. The y-axis is the counts 204 of photons received at the detector. By comparing with standard ZMS-11 XRD profiles, the invented Pt/ZSM-11 has the same XRD profile and crystallinity with pure ZSM-11, indicating that the synthesis of the zeolite in the presence of Pt did not result in structure change. [0049] The XRF result of the invented Pt/NaZSM-11 zeolite is summarized in Table 1. The result shows that about 1 wt. % of Pt was introduced into the zeolite. The Na content is about 0.12 wt. %, but after NH ₄ ⁺ ion exchange, the Na content was reduced to <0.05 wt. %. [0050] Table 1: XRF results of Pt/NaZSM-11 Elements  Concentration (wt. %)  [0051] The comparison of the total acidity was determined by running the temperature program desorption of ammonia from (NH3-TPD) on a ZSM-11 Zeolite, an impregnated Pt /ZSM-11, and an encapsulated Pt/ZSM-11. Figure 3 is a plot 300 comparing the NH3-TPD results for the encapsulated Pt-ZSM-11 (“Encap” in the figure) to the impregnated Pt-ZSM-11 (“Imp” in the figure), and the ZSM-11 with no metals. The results are summarized in Table 2. The result shows that the encapsulated Pt/ZSM-11 has higher acidity, indicating that the aromatization activity will be higher.

Figure 4 is a plot 400 comparing the H2-TPR results for the encapsulated Pt-ZSM-11 (“Encap” in the figure) to the impregnated Pt-ZSM-11 (“Imp” in the figure). The results are shown in Table 3. From the H2-TPR results, substantially more hydrogen was consumed by the encapsulated Pt/ZSM-11 then by the conventional impregnated Pt/ZSM-11. This indicates a better dispersion of the platinum on the zeolite. Accordingly this indicates that the aromatization performance will be improved.
