CuO-SBA-15的表面酸性对燃料油吸附脱硫的影响

固相研磨法是将不同量的活性组分掺入到介孔材料上的一种简单有效的方法.采用该法以焙烧脱模前后的SBA-15为载体分别制备了不同负载量的CuO-SBA-15吸附剂.利用X射线衍射(XRD)、N2物理吸附、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)等方法表征了吸附剂的物理性质.通过原位红外技术考察了改性前后介孔材料表面羟基的变化.借助吡啶-原位傅里叶变换红外(py-FTIR)技术考察了吸附剂表面的酸类型及相对酸量.采用静态吸附实验评价了吸附剂对催化裂化(FCC)燃料油的吸附脱硫性能.结果表明:CuO是与SBA-15表面的Si―OH结合形成[Si-O-Cu-O-Si]交联从而达到分散的目的;以SBA-15介孔材料(APS)为载体能够有效抑制在焙烧过程中介孔材料表面羟基的缩合,且CuO负载量达到3mmo·lg-1时仍能够均匀分散在载体SBA-15上,而采用焙烧脱模的SBA-15(CS)为载体制备的CuO-SBA-15吸附剂却出现了活性组分团聚现象;吸附剂的酸性与脱硫性能均随着CuO的增加出现先增加后降低的趋势,当CuO负载量达到3mmo·lg-1时吸附剂具有最高的Lewis酸(L酸)酸量及最佳的脱硫性能;吸附剂的L酸酸量与其脱硫性能成正相关关系;另外吸附剂的L酸的形成是由于改性后Cu周围的电荷密度降低引起的.     

Molecular simulation of RMM: ordered mesoporous SBA-15 type material having microporous ZSM-5 walls

SBA-15 is a novel porous material with uniform size mesopores arranged in a regular pattern. The adjacent mesopores are connected to each other by microporous walls. The major disadvantages of these materials are that the walls are amorphous and have low thermal, hydrothermal, and mechanical stability. Recently, there have been a few attempts to either coat the walls of SBA-15 by microporous crystalline zeolites or to fabricate SBA-15 using CMK-3 in such a way that the walls are made up of ZSM-5. The present work provides a first-ever study of RMM (replicated mesoporous materials, which are SBA-15 like ordered mesoporous materials with walls made up of ZSM-5) using molecular modeling. A random orientation of the unit cells and the distribution of sizes of the supercells located at nucleation sites would be ideal to model the RMM. However, such a study would introduce more uncertainties with regard to voids between the individual supercells, noncrystalline silica, and the location of active sites where the nucleation occurs. In a simpler model studied in the present work, the walls of SBA-15 were made up of regularly arranged ZSM-5 having the same orientation. The structure was characterized by estimating the nitrogen accessible area/volume by Connolly surfaces, small-angle and wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns, methane adsorption, and ice as a probe to study the pore structure. It was found that RMMs have significantly higher methane adsorption capacity compared to SBA-15 and the majority of methane is adsorbed in the microporous walls of RMM. Further research in the field of RMM is needed to obtain the details of zeolitic wall structure.     

Physical state of poorly water soluble therapeutic molecules loaded into SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica carriers: a case study with itraconazole and ibuprofen

The ordered mesoporous silica material SBA-15 was loaded with the model drugs itraconazole and ibuprofen using three different procedures: (i) adsorption from solution, (ii) incipient wetness impregnation, and (iii) heating of a mixture of drug and SBA-15 powder. The location of the drug molecules in the SBA-15 particles and molecular interactions were investigated using nitrogen adsorption, TGA, DSC, DRS UV-vis, and XPS. The in vitro release of hydrophobic model drugs was evaluated in an aqueous environment simulating gastric fluid. The effectiveness of the loading method was found to be strongly compound dependent. Incipient wetness impregnation using a concentrated itraconazole solution in dichloromethane followed by solvent evaporation was most efficient for dispersing itraconazole in SBA-15. The itraconazole molecules were located on the mesopore walls and inside micropores of the mesopore walls. When SBA-15 was loaded by slurrying it in a diluted itraconazole solution from which the solvent was evaporated, the itraconazole molecules ended up in the mesopores that they plugged locally. At a loading of 30 wt %, itraconazole exhibited intermolecular interactions inside the mesopores revealed by UV spectroscopy and endothermic events traced with DSC. The physical mixing of itraconazole and SBA-15 powder followed by heating above the itraconazole melting temperature resulted in formulations in which glassy itraconazole particles were deposited externally on the SBA-15 particles. Loading with ibuprofen was successful with each of the three loading procedures. Ibuprofen preferably is positioned inside the micropores. In vitro release experiments showed fast release kinetics provided the drug molecules were evenly deposited over the mesoporous surface.     

Mechanism for the formation of tin oxide nanoparticles and nanowires inside the mesopores of SBA-15

The formation of polycrystalline tin oxide nanoparticles (NP) and nanowires was investigated using nanocasting approach included solid-liquid strategy for insertion of SnCl₂ precursor and SBA-15 silica as a hard template. HR-TEM and XRD revealed that during the thermal treatment in air 5 nm tin oxide NP with well defined Cassiterite structure were formed inside the SBA-15 matrix mesopores at 250 °C. After air calcination at 700 °C the NP assembled inside the SBA-15 mesopores as polycrystalline nanorods with different orientation of atomic layers in jointed nanocrystals. It was found that the structure silanols of silica matrix play a vital role in creating the tin oxide NP at low temperature. The pure tin chloride heated in air at 250 °C did not react with oxygen to yield tin oxide. Tin oxide NP were also formed during the thermal treatment of the tin chloride loaded SBA-15 in helium atmosphere at 250 °C. Hence, it is well evident that silanols present in the silica matrix not only increase the wetting of tin chloride over the surface of SBA-15 favoring its penetration to the matrix pores, but also react with hydrated tin chloride according to the proposed scheme to give tin oxide inside the mesopores. It was confirmed by XRD, N₂-adsorption, TGA-DSC and FTIR spectra. This phenomenon was further corroborated by detecting the inhibition of SnO₂ NP formation at 250 °C after inserting the tin precursor to SBA-15 with reduced silanols concentration partially grafted with tin chloride.

Influence of the Template Removal Method on the Mechanical Stability of SBA-15

Removing the template from the pores after the polycondensation of the silica precursor is a necessary step in the synthesis of mesoporous silica materials. In our previous work, we developed a method for the efficient and spatially controlled functionalization of SBA-15. First, the silanol groups on the particle surface and in the pore entrances were passivated. After extraction of the template, a pretreatment step in N₂ converted the silanol groups to the single and geminal state. Afterwards, an azide functionality was introduced exclusively into the mesopores. This ensured that the catalyst could afterwards be immobilized unambiguously in the mesopores. The mechanical stability of a material functionalized in such a spatially controlled manner is studied and compared to other template removal methods. Even though several studies investigated the influence of the calcination temperature, the presence or the absence of oxygen during the template removal, the specific conditions used during the herein reported selective functionalization procedure have not been covered yet.

Aqueous dye adsorption on ordered mesoporous carbons

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with varying pore size, and microporous carbon, CFY, were synthesized using ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 and NaY zeolite as hard templates, respectively. N(2) adsorption tests show that the synthesized OMCs possess abundant mesopores and centralized mesopore distribution. Methylene blue (MB) and neutral red (NR) were used as probe molecules to investigate their adsorption behaviors on OMCs and CFY. As evidenced by adsorption tests, the volume of mesopores of which the pore size is larger than 3.5 nm is a crucial factor for the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of MB on OMCs. However, the most probable pore diameter of OMCs was found to be vital to the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of NR. Theoretical studies show that the adsorption kinetics of MB and NR on OMCs can be well depicted by using pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Novel ice structures in carbon nanopores: pressure enhancement effect of confinement

We report experimental results on the structure and melting behavior of ice confined in multi-walled carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3, which is the carbon replica of a SBA-15 silica template. The silica template has cylindrical mesopores with micropores connecting the walls of neighboring mesopores. The structure of the carbon replica material CMK-3 consists of carbon rods connected by smaller side-branches, with quasi-cylindrical mesopores of average pore size 4.9 nm and micropores of 0.6 nm. Neutron diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry have been used to determine the structure of the confined ice and the solid-liquid transition temperature. The results are compared with the behavior of water in multi-walled carbon nanotubes of inner diameters of 2.4 nm and 4 nm studied by the same methods. For D(2)O in CMK-3 we find evidence of the existence of nanocrystals of cubic ice and ice IX; the diffraction results also suggest the presence of ice VIII, although this is less conclusive. We find evidence of cubic ice in the case of the carbon nanotubes. For bulk water these crystal forms only occur at temperatures below 170 K in the case of cubic ice, and at pressures of hundreds or thousands of MPa in the case of ice VIII and IX. These phases appear to be stabilized by the confinement.     

Static and dynamic sorption study of heavy metal ions on amino-functionalized SBA-15

Amino-functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica (SBA-15-NN) was synthesized using the normal grafting procedure of SBA-15 with [3-(2-Aminoethyl) aminopropyl] trimethoxysilane. Under optimal conditions, SBA-15-NN exhibited a higher adsorption capacity toward metal ions than SBA-15 in static adsorption. The results showed that the flow rate of 2?mL?min^?1 might be the optimum flow rate in dynamic adsorption, and the higher initial metal ion concentration is favorable for the adsorption of Zn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) onto SBA-15-NN. The results indicated that SBA-15-NN could effectively remove multiple metal ions from aqueous solution as a good adsorption material.     

Dependence of SBA-15 formation on the block copolymer concentration in the course of synthesis with precursor containing ethylene glycol residues

The formation of silica is governed by two parallel processes triggered by the addition of a precursor to a solution of P123 block copolymer. One process is sol–gel synthesis, while the other is the transformation of an initial micellar phase consisting of spherical micelles of P123 into a hexagonal mesophase, which serves as a template. The gelation of the reaction mixture terminates all transformations, thus making it possible to examine the phase state of the block copolymer at the moment of the sol–gel transition. The systematic study of systems with different P123 concentrations has shown that the structure, morphology, and porosity of the material is determined by the ratio between the rates of the aforementioned processes. A material with the structure of SBA-15 containing hexagonally packed cylindrical mesopores is formed at a block copolymer content of 10 wt %. As the P123 concentration is reduced, the rate of the transformations of its structures decreases relative to the rate of the sol–gel process. Analysis of electron micrographs has revealed that the material being formed contains, initially, irregular short rodlike mesopores rather than cylindrical ones; then, as the P123 concentration is further decreased, amorphous silica arises in the material. The role of their templates is played by intermediate structures formed during the transformation of the P123 micellar phase into the hexagonal mesophase. Advantages of the SBA-15 synthesis with the precurosr containing ethylene glycol residues are the good reproducibility, one-pot procedure, no addition of acid and organic solvent or heating, and the formation of bimodal monolithic material containing both meso- and macropores.     

Synthesis and lysozyme adsorption of rod-like large-pore periodic mesoporous organosilica

Highly ordered rod-like large-pore periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) was successfully synthesized at low acid concentration with the assistance of inorganic salt using triblock copolymer P123 as a template. The roles of inorganic salt and acidity in the production of highly ordered mesostructure and the morphology control of PMOs were investigated. It was found that the inorganic salt can significantly widen the range of the synthesis parameters to produce highly ordered 2D hexagonal pore structure of p6mm symmetry. However, the uniform rod-like PMOs can only be synthesized in a narrow range of acid and salt concentrations, which were sensitive to induction time. The adsorption of lysozyme on PMO was studied at different pH values in comparison with adsorption on pure silica material under controlled morphology and pore structure. It was found that the adsorption capacity of lysozyme on the PMO was lower than that on pure SBA-15 silica material and the adsorption amounts are larger at pH 9.6 than at 7.0 for both materials. The results show that the electrostatic interaction between lysozyme and PMO/SBA-15 surface is more dominant than the hydrophobic forces and the interaction of neighboring lysozyme molecules also plays an important role.

Grafting of alumina on SBA-15: effect of surface roughness

Alumina-grafted materials were prepared by postsynthesis alumination of mesoporous SBA-15 silica in an aqueous solution of aluminum chlorhydrol. Prepared samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and (27)Al magic-angle-spinning NMR. The successive grafting of alumina on SBA-15 leads to a gradual filling of the corona surrounding the mesopores. As a consequence smoothing of the mesopore surface takes place. The in-depth analysis of nitrogen adsorption data proves that the alpha s method affords real values of the structure parameters, while the Kruk, Jaroniec, and Sayari (KJS) procedure based on the BJH algorithm provides only effective data corresponding to cylindrical mesopores of smooth geometrical surface. The quantification of the roughness of the SBA-15 mesopore surface based on the comparison of data obtained from the alpha s plot and KJS method was carried out.     

Adsorption and structural properties of ordered mesoporous carbons synthesized by using various carbon precursors and ordered siliceous P6mm and Ia3d mesostructures as templates

Adsorption and structural properties of inverse carbon replicas of two ordered siliceous P6mm and Ia3d mesostructures have been studied by nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. These carbon replicas were prepared by filling the pores of SBA-15 and KIT-6 siliceous templates with various carbon precursors followed by carbonization and silica dissolution. Sucrose, furfuryl alcohol, acenaphthene, mesophase pitch, and petroleum pitch were used to obtain inverse carbon replicas of SBA-15 and KIT-6. While structural properties of the resulting ordered mesoporous carbons are mainly determined by the hard template used, their adsorption properties depend on the type of the carbon precursor.     

Adsorption of benzene onto mesoporous silicates modified by titanium

Mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 modified by titanium has been utilized for removing organic pollutants, such as benzene, from air. Titanium was impregnated inside SBA-15 by wetness impregnation after synthesis of SBA-15 (impregnation method) or was doped into the SBA-15 framework by the direct addition of Ti precursor into the sol during synthesis (doping method). In the breakthrough curves for gas-phase benzene adsorption, Ti addition into SBA-15 resulted in the enhancement of benzene adsorption capacity, depending on Ti loading amounts. An increase in adsorption temperature remarkably reduced the benzene adsorption capacity, indicating that the interaction between benzene and the materials was weak.
