The authors report on the optimization of process conditions in the thermochemical treatment in commercial production of the catalyst KMTsR-N. Freshly molded zeolitic hydrogel beads, with or without specially introduced aluminum hydroxide, were treated successively with a nitrate solution of rare-earth elements (REE) and an ammonium nitrate solution. A simplified flow plan for the thermochemical treatment is shown. The dynamics of the variation and concentration of the treating solutions and the composition of the hydrogen beads during thermochemical treatment is shown. The studies show that in order to obtain a uniform distribution of REE cations in zeolitic aluminosilicate hydrogel beads, the beads must be treated with a solution containing a mixture of ammonium and REE cations.
