Various Ta-HMS (hexagonal mesoporous silica) samples with different Ta content were hydrothermally prepared and characterized by XRD, N2-adsorption, ICP-AES, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The catalytic performance of the samples was also evaluated in the epoxidation of cyclohexene with cumene hydroperoxide as oxidant. The regularity of mesoporous structure decreases while more extraframe Ta ions are formed with increasing the Ta content. Ta-HMS with Ta/Si ratio of 0.015 shows the highest conversion and selectivity in the studied epoxidation reaction. The catalyst can be used for three times without significant activity loss. 相似文献
A novel methyl-rich Ti-containing hexagonal mesoporous silica (Ti-HMS) molecular sieve with high hydrophobicity has been prepared by a two-step method involving co-condensation followed by vapor-phase methyl grafting. The sample was characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption, FTIR, UV-visible and 29Si NMR spectroscopies, TG, ICP-AES, and hydrophilicity measurements, and its catalytic performance was evaluated using the epoxidation of cyclohexene as a probe reaction. The Ti-HMS material retains a typical mesoporous structure and compared with a co-condensed Ti-HMS prepared in a one-step method possesses more methyl groups and higher hydrophobicity, and also exhibits better catalytic activity and selectivity. 相似文献
In this work, paramagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and functionalized with dioxo-Mo(VI) tetradentate Schiff base complex and characterized using IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Catalyst was used for the selective epoxidation of cyclooctene, cyclohexene, styrene, indene, α-pinene, 1-hepten, 1-octene, 1-dodecen and trans-stilbene using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant in 1,2-dichloroethane. This catalyst is efficient for oxidation of cyclooctene with a 100% selectivity for epoxidation with 100% conversion in 1 h. After the reaction, the magnetic nanocatalyst was easily separated by simply applying an external magnetic field and was used at least five successive times without significant decrease in conversion.
The epoxidation of propylene with dilute H2O2 aqueous solution over titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolite catalyst is a green chemical reaction for propylene oxide (PO) production. Carrying out the reaction in gas-phase can get rid of problems caused by using methanol solvent. This paper reports an attempt of using non-zeolite catalyst for the gas-phase epoxidation. Amorphous Ti/SiO2, obtained by grafting amorphous SiO2 with TCl4 in ethanol solvent in a chemical liquid-phase deposition (CLD) process, has been used as the catalyst. Results show that the CLD Ti/SiO2 with appropriate Si/Ti molar ratio is an active catalyst for gas-phase epoxidation, achieving 9.8 % propylene conversion and 66.9 % PO selectivity with 40.3 % H2O2 utilization, which indicates that this amorphous Ti/SiO2 catalyst deserves extensive studies in the future. 相似文献
Based on a few noteworthy features, cerium oxide nanoparticles have gained significance in nanotechnology. The effective microwave combustion method (MCM) and the conventional sol–gel (CRSGM) technologies are used in this study to successfully generate the crystalline CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs). Additionally, using a variety of spectroscopic and analytical methods, the synthesized CeO2 NPs are examined to assess to understand their structure and morphology. The XRD patterns of CeO2 NPs show that the structure exhibits a face-centered cubic lattice. Then, with demonstrated good conversion and selectivity, the impact of the epoxidation reaction of cyclohexene was examined. Finally, it can be said that using CeO2 nanoparticles is an efficient strategy to increase the catalytic activity toward the epoxidation reaction of cyclohexene. In the presence of acetonitrile as a solvent and H2O2 as an oxidant, the catalyst samples utilized in the cyclohexene epoxidation reaction were examined. In this study, the CeO2 catalyst outperformed all other catalysts in terms of cyclohexene maximal conversion and selectivity. After six prolonged cycles, the conversion of cyclohexene oxidation using CeO2 NPs shows reasonable recyclability and conversion efficiency, making it the best catalyst for an industrial production application.Additionally, the upgraded CeO2 nanoparticle electrode for nitrite detection has a linear concentration range (0.02–1200 M), a low detection limit (0.22 M), and a higher sensitivity (1.735 A M−1 cm−2). CeO2 NPs, on the other hand, have a quick response time, excellent sensitivity, and high selectivity. Additionally, the manufactured electrode is used to find nitrite in various water samples. Finally, it can be said that using CeO2 NPs is an efficient strategy to increase the catalytic activity toward cyclohexene oxidation and nitrite. 相似文献
Copper(II) complex of a Schiff base ligand derived from pyrrolcarbaldehyde and o‐phenylenediamine (H2L) has been synthesized and encapsulated in Y‐zeolite matrix. The hybrid material has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV‐Vis spectroscopic studies as well as X‐ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The encapsulated copper(II) catalyst is an active catalyst for the oxidation of cyclooctene and cyclohexene using H2O2 as oxidant. Under the optimized reaction conditions 81% conversion of cyclohexene with 65% selectivity for 2‐cyclohexenone formation and 87% conversion of cyclooctene with 46% selectivity for epoxide formation were obtained. 相似文献
