Fe/MCM-41 as a promising heterogeneous catalyst for ozonation of p-chlorobenzoic acid in aqueous solution

Mesoporous MCM-41 and Fe loaded MCM-41（Fe/MCM-41）,which were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method and a dipping method respectively,were applied as heterogeneous catalysts for ozonation of p-chlorobenzoic acid（p-CBA） in aqueous solution.MCM-41 and Fe/MCM-41 were characterized by XRD,FT-IR and diffuse reflectance UV-vis（DR-UV-vis） techniques. The presence of either MCM-41 or Fe/MCM-41 improves p-CBA and total organic carbon（TOC） removal efficiency compared to ozonation alone.Under the experimental condition,TOC removal rate of Fe/MCM-41/O₃ process is over 63.5%at 60 min oxidation time,44.5%using MCM-41 as catalyst,only 37.7%with ozonation alone.The presence of tert-butanol（TBA） in the Fe/MCM-41/ O₃ process indicated that the oxidation mechanism of p-CBA occurs via OH in the liquid bulk.And Fe/MCM-41 is a promising catalyst.     

PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂的丙烷脱氢催化性能

用微型催化反应装置评价, 并结合X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、表面积和孔结构测试、程序升温还原(TPR)、氢化学吸附和热重分析等方法研究了负载型PtSn/γ-Al2O3, PtSn/MCM-41和PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂的丙烷脱氢反应催化性能. 发现PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂具有较PtSn/MCM-41催化剂高的丙烷脱氢反应活性和较PtSn/γ-Al2O3催化剂高的反应稳定性. 实验结果表明, 纯硅MCM-41载体表面的锡物种因与载体相互作用较弱故易被还原, 导致铂金属分散度和催化剂的丙烷脱氢活性较低. 用Al2O3修饰MCM-41可以增强Sn物种与Al2O3/MCM-41载体之间的相互作用, 提高PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂铂金属分散度和丙烷脱氢催化活性. 并且, 积炭后的PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂具有较高的铂金属表面裸露度, 故具有较高的丙烷脱氢反应稳定性. PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂优良的丙烷脱氢催化性能可能不仅与Sn-载体Al2O3/MCM-41较强的相互作用有关, 而且与Al2O3/MCM-41载体的介孔结构有关.

Synthesis and catalytic performance of bimetallic NiMo- and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites for production of liquid biofuels

This work presents a synthesis of bimetallic NiMo and NiW modified ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites and their heterogeneous catalytic conversion of crude palm oil( CPO) to biofuels. The ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites were synthesized through a self-assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide( CTAB) surfactant with silica-alumina from ZSM-5 zeolite,prepared from natural kaolin by the hydrothermal technique. Subsequently,the synthesized composites were deposited with bimetallic NiMo and NiW by impregnation method. The obtained catalysts presented a micro-mesoporous structure,confirmed by XRD,SEM,TEM,EDX,NH_3-TPD,XRF and N_2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The results of CPO conversion demonstrate that the catalytic activity of the synthesized catalysts decreases in the series of NiMo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Ni-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Mo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 W-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiMo-ZSM-5 NiW-ZSM-5 ZSM-5/MCM-41 ZSM-5 MCM-41. It was found that the bimetallic NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts give higher yields of liquid hydrocarbons than other catalysts at a given conversion. Types of hydrocarbon in liquid products,identified by simulated distillation gas chromatography-flame ionization detector( SimDis GC-FID),are gasoline( 150-200 ℃; C5-12),kerosene( 250-300 ℃; C5-20) and diesel( 350 ℃; C7-20).Moreover,the conversion of CPO to biofuel products using the NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts offers no statistically significant difference( P 0.05) at 95% confidence level,evaluated by SPSS analysis.     

杂原子介孔Co-MCM-41分子筛的制备及其吸附脱氮性能

采用水热法合成了介孔MCM-41和Co-MCM-41分子筛,并利用XRD、FT-IR、低温N₂吸附-脱附和NH₃-TPD等方法对合成的分子筛进行了表征。考察了晶化时间、晶化温度、陈化时间对合成介孔Co-MCM-41分子筛的影响,确定较适宜的合成条件为陈化时间1 h,晶化温度110 ℃,晶化时间2 d。XRD 和FT-IR表征结果说明,Co原子已经进入MCM-41的骨架。MCM-41和Co-MCM-41的平均孔径均为2.82 nm,BET比表面积分别为986.42和 637.69 m²/g,孔容分别为0.762 1和0.537 2 m³/g。NH₃-TPD的表征结果表明,MCM-41和Co-MCM-41的酸性都较弱,但Co-MCM-41的酸性明显强于MCM-41。在此基础上,利用合成的MCM-41和Co-MCM-41吸附脱除氮含量为1 737.35 μg/g的模拟燃料中的喹啉。喹啉分子尺寸的模拟结果为0.711 6 nm × 0.500 2 nm,说明其可以很容易地进入MCM-41和Co-MCM-41的介孔孔道中。Co-MCM-41分子筛的氮脱除率明显高于MCM-41,这是由于其较强的酸性及与喹啉之间的化学吸附,而且,Co-MCM-41吸附脱氮具有较好的再生性能。     

Enhanced electrorheology of conducting polyaniline confined in MCM-41 channels

A composite material of a silica-based mesoporous molecular sieve, MCM-41, with conducting polyaniline (PANI) inside the uniformly aligned one-dimensional channels (PANI/MCM-41) was prepared and its nanocomposite formation was confirmed through an electrical conductivity measurement. This nanocomposite particle was adopted for a dispersed phase in electrorheological (ER) fluids, and the ER property was measured using a Couette-type rotational rheometer equipped with a high voltage generator. Suspension of PANI/MCM-41 showed ER properties more enhanced than those of MCM-41 or PANI alone as a result of the anisotropic polarization of the PANI/MCM-41 nanocomposite.     

喹吖啶酮衍生物/介孔分子筛MCM-41组装体的金属离子传感性能研究

将5,12-二［6-(2-氨基乙基氨基)己基］ 喹吖啶酮(BAEAHQA)组装到介孔分子筛MCM-41的孔道中,制备了金属离子传感材料BEDAHQA /MCM-41. 荧光光谱显示组装体的发光避免了喹吖啶酮固体发光的浓度猝灭现象. 引入不同的金属离子将使BAEAHQA/MCM-41的荧光光谱强度发生不同程度的降低和峰位移动. 尤其是金属钴离子可以使BAEAHQA/MCM-41的发光产生明显的猝灭,猝灭程度可达到92.63％. 通过引入乙二氨基团BAEAHQA达到了发光基团与螯合基团之间的分离,有效地避免了pH值对发光的影响. 实验结果表明,BAEAHQA/MCM-41对于金属离子具有良好的传感特性.     

基于MCM-41分子筛表面的镱离子印迹聚合物的制备及其性能

运用离子印迹技术,以3-氯丙基三乙氧基硅烷为锚定剂,将功能单体直链聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)接枝在MCM-41分子筛表面,选择镱离子作为模板离子,以环氧氯丙烷交联制备出基于MCM-41表面的镱离子印迹聚合物Yb(Ⅲ)-IIP-PEI/MCM-41,并以同样的方法制备非离子印迹聚合物(NIP-PEI/MCM-41)。 利用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪和扫描电子显微镜等技术手段对Yb³⁺印迹聚合物进行表征,采用静态吸附法确定了Yb(Ⅲ)-IIP-PEI/MCM-41对Yb³⁺的最佳吸附条件及选择性吸附性能。 结果表明,Yb(Ⅲ)-IIP-PEI/MCM-41和NIP-PEI/MCM-41的最大吸附量分别为229.93和99.27 mg/g;印迹材料对Yb³⁺的吸附符合Langmuir模型;吸附平衡在40 min的时候基本可以达到,可以利用准二级动力学模型来描述其吸附过程;Yb(Ⅲ)-IIP-PEI/MCM-41对Yb³⁺具有较强的选择性,同时也具有很好的重复使用性能。 成功地将MCM-41和离子印迹聚合物的优点结合起来,制备出一种对稀土Yb离子既有高吸附量又有高选择性的吸附材料,为进一步将其应用在处理实际废水,分离回收低浓度稀土废水中的稀土元素等方面打下了基础。     

Effect of trivalent elements on the thermal and hydrothermal stability of MCM-41 mesoporous molecular materials

Effect of trivalent elements on the thermal and hydrothermal stability of MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieve materials has been investigated. Al(III) decreases the thermal and hydrothermal stability of MCM-41 materials, whereas La(III) and Fe(III), especially Fe(III), can improve the thermal and hydrothermal stability. Benzene adsorption and IR spectra suggested that thick channel wall and the fewer structural defect sites in MCM-41 would enhance the thermal and hydrothermal stability of MCM-41.     

Deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone over cesium/MCM-41 catalysts

Dibenzothiophene sulfone, one of the products of the oxidative desulfurization of heavy oil, can be utilized through catalytic cracking. The object of the present study is to provide Cs/MCM-41 catalysts for the removal of sulfur dioxide from dibenzothiophene sulfone. Cesium oxide was deposited via an impregnation method on MCM-41, and the catalytic performances of the samples were investigated during the deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone to biphenyl and sulfur dioxide gas. The influence of cesium loading on the basic properties of MCM-41 was estimated by the temperature-programmed desorption of carbon dioxide. The dibenzothiophene sulfone conversions of the MCM-41, Cs(1 wt%)/MCM-41, Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 and Cs(10 wt%)/MCM-41 catalysts were 38.5, 52.1, 72.4 and 40.9%, respectively, which implies that the Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 catalyst has the highest activity. This result agrees with the finding of the basicity enhancement of MCM-41 with the addition of cesium, in which Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 exhibited a maximum number of basic sites.     

New Routes to the Synthesis of Mesoporous Materials and Their Properties

The factors that influence the hydrothermal synthesis of MCM-41 were investigated, and it was found that compared with those from high H₂O/SiO₂ systems(designated MCM-41-A), the products from low H₂O/SiO₂ systems(designated MCM-41-B) exhibited a less-defined X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern with a broader main reflection peak at a lower 2θ diffraction angle. MCM-41-B possesses a smaller surface area but a larger pore size than MCM-41-A. New routes including direct thermal treatment, room-temperature crystallization and microwave heating were developed for the formation of MCM-41, and the properties of the products prepared from these new routes were compared with those of the MCM-41 hydrothermally synthesized. The pore sizes of MCM-41 materials are uniformly distributed with an effective pore diameter that falls into the range of 2-4 nm, where as the products from wet-gel thermal treatment possess two kinds of mesopores:the well-defined smaller pores distributed at 3 nm and the larger one within 8-20 nm. The MAS NMR spectroscopy revealed that after calcination to remove the organic template in Al-containing MCM-41, a small part of the tetrahedrally-coordinated framework aluminum atoms became octahedrally-coordinated and a considerable amount of Si-OH species were generated.     

Gas adsorption in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas: MCM-41, MCM-48, and SBA-15

This paper reports a molecular simulation and experimental study on the adsorption and condensation of simple fluids in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas MCM-41, MCM-48, and SBA-15. MCM-41 is described as a regular cylindrical silica nanopore, while SBA-15 is assumed to be made up of cylindrical nanopores that are connected through lateral channels. The 3D-connected topology of MCM-48 is described using a gyroid periodic minimal surface. Argon adsorption at 77 K is calculated for the three materials using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Qualitative comparison with experiments for nitrogen adsorption in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas is made. The adsorption isotherm for SBA-15 resembles that for MCM-41. In particular, capillary condensation and evaporation are not affected by the presence of the connecting lateral channels. In contrast, the argon adsorption isotherm for MCM-48 departs from that for MCM-41 having the same pore size. While condensation in MCM-41 is a one-step process, filling of MCM-48 involves two successive jumps in the adsorbed amounts which correspond to condensation in different domains of the porosity. The condensation pressure for MCM-48 is larger than that for MCM-41. We attribute this result to the morphology of the MCM-48 surface (made up of both concave and convex regions) that differs from that for MCM-41 (concave only). Our results suggest that the pore connectivity affects pore filling when the size of the connections is comparable to that of the nanopores.     

Intrinsic catalytic role of mesoporous silica in preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide in excess hydrogen

We have studied the intrinsic catalytic role of MCM-41 mesoporous silica in preferential oxidation of CO in excess H(2) (PROX). Two types of MCM-41 supports (MCM-41A and MCM-41B) were obtained from the same pristine as-synthesized materials by using different procedures for surfactant removal: one-step calcination or two-step extraction-calcination. Although two kinds of Pt catalysts prepared from the MCM-41 supports exhibit high similarity in apparent physicochemical parameters such as Pt morphology, particle-size distribution, electronic states, support architecture, and pore-size distribution, they show a dramatic difference in catalytic activity (ca. 100?% versus 10?% CO conversions at 298?K). This feature motivated us to investigate the catalytic role of MCM-41 in the PROX reaction. By means of infrared experiments with the isotope tracer technique, it was revealed that the reactive microenvironment at the interface between Pt and the MCM-41A support is the origin of the high activity. On the highly active Pt/MCM-41A catalyst, interfacial silanols play a decisive role in the ignition of CO oxidation, and gaseous O(2) and H(2) are dissociated on CO-free Pt sites created by the interfacial reaction. The dissociated oxygen and hydrogen are proposed to sustain the catalytic cycle in the form of regenerated silanols on the support, which is catalyzed by the Pt surface in the presence of H(2).

采用溶胶-凝胶法将TiO2担载在介孔MCM-41分子筛上, 制备了不同TiO2含量的系列TiO2/MCM-41复合材料, 利用X射线衍射、N2吸附、紫外-可见光谱和透射电镜等方法对其进行表征. TiO2的晶型为锐钛矿相, 复合材料的比表面积和孔体积随其中TiO2担载量(复合材料中TiO2与MCM-41的质量比)的增加而减小, TiO2的平均粒径随其担载量的增加而增大. 以罗丹明B的光催化降解为探针反应, 评价了TiO2/MCM-41复合材料的光催化降解活性. 结果表明, 在紫外光照射下, 罗丹明B在该复合材料上的光催化降解反应遵循一级反应动力学, 复合材料对罗丹明B的光催化降解活性明显高于商用TiO2 (P-25), 复合材料的光催化降解活性由复合材料的吸附能力和所含TiO2的光催化活性共同决定.     

Thermogravimetry applied to characterization of fly ash-based MCM-41 mesoporous materials

The thermogravimetry (TG) was used for characterization of the fly ash (FA)-based MCM-41 mesoporous materials. MCM-41 mesoporous materials were synthesized using silica extracts from different FA. The synthesis of MCM-41 from FA was carried out by the hydrothermal method using the supernatants of coal FA (in the form of sodium silicate) and cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactants as the structure-directing agents. On the basis of the data obtained from the TG analysis, thermal behaviour of FA-based MCM-41 mesoporous materials was assessed. This study has established the range of temperatures corresponding to the desorption of water, decomposition of the surfactant and condensation of silanol, thereby making the overall quality assessment of FA-based MCM-41 mesoporous materials.     

MCM-41-HY复合分子筛的合成及其在深度加氢脱硫中的应用

在水热条件下合成了包覆型MCM-41-HY复合分子筛.采用XRD、N2气吸附和SEM等方法对其进行了表征.结果表明,MCM-41-HY复合分子筛和MCM-41与H型Y沸石(HY)的机械混合物明显不同,在复合分子筛MCM-41-HY中,中孔相MCM-41附晶生长在HY沸石上,将HY包覆起来.以二苯并噻吩为模型化合物,考察了该材料担载NiMo催化剂的加氢脱硫活性.结果表明,MCM-41-HY复合分子筛与MCM-41和HY的机械混合物担载NiMo催化剂的加氢脱硫(HDS)活性相当,但MCM-41-HY复合分子筛担载NiMo催化剂的裂化活性较低.其裂化活性不同的原因在于其载体孔道结构和酸性位的分布不同.     

Cerium modified MCM-41 nanocomposite materials via a nonhydrothermal direct method at room temperature

Ce-containing MCM-41 materials were prepared via a direct, nonhydrothermal method at room temperature from tetra-ethoxysilane, n-hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, ammonia solution, and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate precursors. Composite materials containing the nominated ratios of 5 and 10% (w/w) CeO2/MCM-41 were targeted. The obtained materials were investigated by TGA, DSC, FTIR, diffuse reflectance UV-vis, XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, and SEM. Results indicated the insertion of cerium ions in tetrahedral environment in the framework of MCM-41. BET surface area amounting to 824 and 726 m2/g; total pore volume amounting to 0.427 and 0.515 cm3/g; and narrow pore size distribution maximizing at 22.5 and 23.7 A, respectively were obtained for the 5 and 10% CeO2/MCM-41 calcined composites. SEM showed a spherical type morphology for the composites which is rather similar to their blank MCM-41, and no clear ceria aggregates were observed on the external surfaces of composites spherical particles. Thus, the adopted method allows the persistence of MCM-41 texture with cerium inserts in the framework of MCM-41 and/or forms finely divided ceria nanoparticles on the wall of MCM-41 materials. Moreover, stabilization of any formed ceria nanoparticles was attributed to the short nonintersecting porous nature of MCM-41 matrix, which hinders their aggregation upon calcinations.     

Preparation, characterization and optical properties of lanthanum-(nanometer MCM-41) composite material

Nanometer MCM-41 molecular sieve was prepared under a base condition by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as silica source by means of hydrothermal method. Lanthanum(III) was incorporated into the nanometer MCM-41 by a liquid phase grafting method. The prepared nanocomposite materials were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, spectrophotometric anaylsis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique, solid diffuse reflectance absorption spectra and luminescence. The powder X-ray diffraction studies show that the nanometer MCM-41 molecular sieve is successfully prepared. The highly ordered mesoporous two-dimensional hexagonal channel structure and framework of the support MCM-41 is retained intact in the prepared composite material La-(nanometer MCM-41). The spectrophotometric anaylsis indicates that lanthanum exists in the prepared nanocomposite materials. The Fourier transform infrared spectra indicate that the framework of the MCM-41 molecular sieve still remains in the prepared nanocomposite materials and some framework vibration peaks show blue shifts relative to those of the MCM-41 molecular sieve. The low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption indicates that the guest locates in the channel of the molecular sieve. Compared with bulk lanthanum oxide, the guest in the channel of the molecular sieve has smaller particle size and shows a significant blue shift of optical absorption band in solid diffuse reflectance absorption spectra. The observed blue shift in the solid state diffuse reflectance absorption spectra of the lanthanum-(nanometer MCM-41) sample show the obvious stereoscopic confinement effect of the channel of the host on the guest, which further indicates the successful encapsulation of the guest in the host. The La-(nanometer MCM-41) sample shows luminescence.     

杂原子介孔Co-MCM-41分子筛的制备及其柴油深度吸附脱碱氮性能

以硝酸钴为钴源,采用水热法合成了MCM-41和不同Co含量的Co-MCM-41分子筛,并利用XRD、FT-IR和低温N2吸附-脱附等方法对合成的分子筛进行表征。当加入的Co/Si物质的量比达到0.1时,依然能够成功合成具有规整有序的介孔结构的Co-MCM-41。MCM-41和Co-MCM-41静态吸附脱除0#柴油中碱氮的实验结果表明,Co/Si物质的量比为0.06的Co-MCM-41(2)分子筛的吸附容量最大,达到5.324 mg(N)/g分子筛,明显高于MCM-41分子筛的吸附容量2.532 mg(N)/g,说明Co进入MCM-41分子筛骨架后显著提高了分子筛的吸附脱除碱氮能力。当加入的Co/Si物质的量比大于0.06时,分子筛吸附脱除柴油中碱氮的能力反而下降,这是由于加入过多Co会使其以Co3O4形式高度分散在分子筛孔道中,堵塞了吸附活性位,使其无法与碱性氮化物接触造成吸附脱氮能力下降。动态吸附脱除0#柴油中碱性氮化物的结果表明,每克CoM CM-41(2)分子筛可将35 m L柴油的碱氮从147.54μg/g吸附脱除到10μg/g以下,吸附容量为4.2 mg(N)/g(吸附剂),由于动态吸附的接触时间较短使MCM-41失去了吸附脱氮能力,说明Co-MCM-41(2)对柴油中的碱氮具有较好的选择性。     

Metastability of MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41

The apparent stability of MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41 in water was appraised in a series of solubility experiments. MCM-41 is a siliceous, mesoporous material of hexagonal symmetry and exceptionally high surface area first synthesized in 1992. The dissolution experiments were carried out at several solid/water ratios: 1/200, 1/100, and 1/75. Results indicated that MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41 are more soluble than amorphous silica at ambient temperatures. Using standard thermodynamic data, a minimum Gibbs free energy of formation of -847.9 kJ/mol for MCM-41 was calculated compared to -848.85 kJ/mol for amorphous silica and -856.3 kJ/mol for quartz. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of recovered solids indicated a progressive loss of crystallinity in MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41 over the 79 day dissolution experiment. BET nitrogen surface area analyses of recovered solids revealed no appreciable change in the surface area of either material after 79 days of reaction in water. Field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) images taken of the 79 day MCM-41 sample showed some degradation of the initial structure-fine, worm-like particles.
