Studies on the carboxymethylation and methylation of bisphenol A with dimethyl carbonate over TiO2/SBA-15

Carboxymethylated species were selectively synthesized from dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and bisphenol A (BPA) over TiO₂/SBA-15. On the basis of catalyst characterization by means of XRD, FT-IR, HPLC and GC–MS, the relations between catalytic performance and catalyst properties were discussed. Si–O–Ti was active sites for reaction, and the interaction mode between Ti–O–Si and DMC was main factor to determine carboxymethylation and methylation. When DMC was attacked by Ti–O–Si on two oxygen atoms of CH₃–O moiety, BPA attacked carbonyl carbon to form carboxymethylated products. If the interaction occurs through the oxygen of CO moiety, BPA attacked methyl carbon to form methylated products. Chemisorbed H₂O over TiO₂/SBA-15 made DMC to act as methylating agent. After chemisorbed H₂O was removed, carboxymethylated species of two-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (DmC(1)) and one-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (MmC(1)) were selectively synthesized.

Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Performance of La-SO4/SBA-15 in Esterification of Acetic Acid with n-Butanol

La-SO42-/SBA-15 was synthesized with various amounts of lanthanum via incipient-wetness impregnation. Characterization was done by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron micrographs（TEM）, nitrogen adsorption, FTIR spectroscopic analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and the total amount of acidity of catalyst was estimated by TPD of NH3. The results indicate that lanthanum has been incorporated into SBA-15 molecular sieve. The prepared materials（La-SO42-/SBA-15） keep the highly ordered mesoporous two-dimensional hexagonal structure and do not change the mesoporous channel structure of the support SBA-15. The catalyst showed best catalytic activity in the synthesis of n-butyl acetate. The optimum conditions of the esterification by orthogonal experiments were studied： the molar ratio of n-butanol to acetic acid 1：1.2, the amount of catalyst 7.5%, reaction time 80 min. The yield of n-butyl acetate could reach 93.2% under the optimum conditions. The catalyst was recyclable, cost effective and environmental friendly.

In the structure of the resulting Tb-BHPC-SBA-15, lanthanide ions were chelated by the BHPC ligand and the Tb-BHPC complexes were anchored into the SBA-15 host formed by the reaction between the hydroxyl group and the active Si-OH. The mesoporous material Tb-BHPC-SBA-15 was characterised by UV, small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD) patterns, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and fluorescence spectra. The results indicate that the ligand and lanthanide ions were introduced into the SBA-15 host and the mesoporous material Tb-BHPC-SBA-15 exhibited the characteristic luminescence of Tb³⁺.

Synthesis, characterization and catalytic behavior of functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 with various organo-silanes

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been synthesized and functionalized by one-step synthesis method to widen their various application possibilities. In this study, phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS), 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and trimethoxypropylsilane (TMPS) were used as silane precursors for the functionalization, and after treated with HCl solution, their catalytic activities were evaluated in the lactic acid-methanol esterification. The presence of anchoring of functional groups on SBA-15 was proved by XRD, FT-IR, BET surface area and pore size distributions. Good catalytic activity was observed especially for SBA-15-SO(3)H-MPTMS, and the catalytic activity order was determined as follows: SBA-15-SO(3)H-MPTMS>SBA-15-TMPS>SBA-15-PTMS, which is directly associated with the surface area, pore size and pore volume. As compared with homogeneous catalyst, SBA-15-SO(3)H-MPTMS heterogeneous catalyst shows remarkable performance, such as separation, recovery and reusability.     

Synthesis and characterization of P4VP/SBA-15 composite by in situ polymerization

Abstract  

Poly(4-vinylpyridine)/SBA-15 (P4VP/SBA-15) composites with various amounts of SBA-15 were prepared and characterized. The physical and chemical properties of P4VP/SBA-15 were investigated by XRD, BET, FT-IR, TGA, and SEM techniques. The catalytic performance of each material was determined for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction between carbonyl compounds and ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of water as a solvent. The effects of reaction temperature, the amount of catalyst, amount of support, solvent, and the amount of benzoyl peroxide during the synthesis of P4VP/SBA-15 were investigated, as well as the recyclability of the heterogeneous composite. The catalyst used for this synthetically useful transformation showed a considerable level of reusability as well as very good activity. This reaction occurred rapidly when water was used as a solvent, so we assume it to be a green reaction.     

Synthesis of Poly(isosorbide carbonate) <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> Melt Polycondensation Catalyzed by Ca/SBA-15 Solid Base

Ca/SBA-15 solid bases with different Ca/Si atomic ratios were prepared by a one-pot route and employed as catalysts for the production of poly(isosorbide carbonate) (PIC) from diphenyl carbonate and isosorbide via a transesterification polymerization process. The relationship between physicochemical properties and catalytic performance for Ca/SBA-15 in this melt process was investigated by means of various characterization techniques. It was found that basic site amount and strength were responsible for this transesterification process; the weak and medium basic sites inclined to promote polycondensation reaction. It was worth noting that strong basic sites could favor the decomposition of the resultant PIC, resulting in the decrease of weight-average molecular weight (M_w) and yield, and the sample with Ca/Si atomic ratio of 0.4 exhibited the best catalytic performance, giving PIC with M_w of 4.88 × 10⁴ g/mol and T_g of 169 °C at the optimal conditions. This excellent activity can be ascribed to the presence of rich basic sites and specific basic strength on the surface of 0.4Ca/SBA-15.

Co-Fe/SBA-15与过一硫酸盐联用非均相催化降解水中染料罗丹明B

由于硫酸根自由基(SO4?-)的强氧化性,基于SO4?-的高级氧化技术受到人们的高度关注.采用过渡金属活化过一硫酸盐(PMS)产生SO4?-用以分解有机物,反应体系简单,反应条件温和,且不需要额外的能量供给,因此,成为人们优先选用的方法,其中,采用高效、环境友好的非均相过渡金属催化剂活化PMS处理难降解有机物成为研究热点.本文研究了非均相CoFe/SBA-15-PMS体系对水中难降解染料罗丹明B(RhB)的降解.以SBA-15为载体, Co(NO3)2·6H2O和Fe(NO3)3·9H2O为前驱物,采用一步等体积浸渍法制备了CoFe/SBA-15,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、N2吸附-脱附、扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱(EDS)、透射电镜(TEM)和振动样品磁强计(VSM)等对其进行了表征.考察了焙烧温度、Co与Fe的负载量对CoFe/SBA-15催化性能的影响和该催化剂的重复使用性能,还考察了RhB降解动力学及催化剂CoFe/SBA-15投加量、氧化剂PMS投加量和反应物(RhB和PMS)初始浓度对其性能的影响,探讨了RhB的降解机理.结果表明：对于催化剂CoFe/SBA-15,合成焙烧后在SBA-15上负载的Fe、Co化合物主要是CoFe2O4复合物,它作为催化剂的活性中心负载在SBA-15的孔道内外.制备的焙烧温度对CoFe/SBA-15催化性能几乎无影响,但对Co浸出影响显著.与SBA-15相比,催化剂10Co9.5Fe/SBA-15-700(Co和Fe负载量分别为10 wt%和9.5 wt%,焙烧温度700 oC)的比表面积、孔体积和孔径均减小,分别为506.1 m2/g,0.669 cm3/g和7.4 nm,但仍然保持SBA-15的有序六方介孔结构.该催化剂以棒状体的聚集态存在,聚集体直径大于0.25μm,其磁化强度为8.3 emu/g,因此,可通过外磁铁容易地从水中分离.相比之下,10Co9.5Fe/SBA-15-700具有最佳的催化性能和稳定性,可使RhB的降解率达到96%以上, Co的浸出量小于32.4μg/L.在CoFe/SBA-15和PMS共存下, RhB的降解符合一级动力学方程, RhB降解速率随CoFe/SBA-15和PMS投加量的增加和初始反应物浓度的减小而提高.淬灭实验结果表明,在CoFe/SBA-15, PMS和RhB水溶液体系中,存在的主要活性自由基为SO4?-,它是由CoFe/SBA-15活化PMS产生的,对RhB的降解起决定性的作用. RhB降解过程的UV-vis结果表明, RhB的降解途径主要是蒽环打开, SO4?-优先攻击RhB的有色芳香烃环,然后RhB进一步分解为小分子有机物. CoFe/SBA-15循环使用10次仍能保持高催化活性和稳定性,在每次反应中RhB的降解率均大于84%, Co和Fe的浸出量均分别小于72.1和35μg/L. CoFe/SBA-15作为高效、环境友好的非均相催化剂可有效地活化PMS产生SO4?-降解水中RhB,具有实际应用的潜力.

This study reports the usage of molybdovanadophosphoric acid catalyst on amino-functionalized SBA-15(PMoV₂/SBA-15-NH₂) for the removal of sulfur from model oil (dibenzothiophene dissolved in n-hexane). To increase the tendency for adsorption of heteropoly acids, mesoporous SBA-15 silica was functionalized with amino groups by postsynthesis grafting, using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane as the coupling agent. Immobilization of molybdovanadophosphoric acid on pure SBA-15 (PMoV₂/SBA-15) was also studied for comparison and the catalysts were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. It was found that the catalysts exhibit high catalytic activities and PMoV₂/SBA-15-NH₂ is more durable than PMoV₂ impregnated on unmodified mesoporous SBA-15 silica. The results may bring about improvement for oxidative desulfurization of transportation fuels.     

Atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate using copper-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts

This study aimed at polymerization of methyl methacrylate with novel catalysts in the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) condition at 90 °C. This was accomplished using CuBr/N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (CuBr–AEAPTMS) as a homogeneous catalyst and one time with CuBr@AEAPTMS/SBA-15 as a heterogeneous catalyst.

In addition, the presence of C–Br unit showed that the polymerization process is alive. The ¹H NMR analysis was used for kinetic investigation of methyl methacrylate polymerization with homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts that showed high monomer conversion (98 and 90% after 35 min, respectively) and good control of molecular weight with a dispersity (Р= 1.5–1.7). In addition, the plot of ln ([monomer]₀/[monomer] _t ) versus time gave linear relationships indicating a constant concentration of the propagating species throughout the polymerization. Finally, the results of the polymerization using heterogeneous catalyst compared with homogeneous catalyst revealed that it was according to ATRP method.

A novel potential-triggered SBA-15/PANI/PSS composite film for selective removal of lead ions from wastewater

In this study, a novel potential-triggered electroactive composite film consisting of mesoporous silica SBA-15, polyaniline (PANI), and polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) was fabricated in an aqueous electrolyte solution via a facile pulse potentiostatic method. The obtained composite film was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ion exchange properties were evaluated in a solution containing 0.1 M Pb(NO₃)₂ by using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. It was found that the uptake/release of Pb²⁺ ions in/from SBA-15/PANI/PSS composite film was successfully achieved by modulating the redox states of the electroactive composite film, and the composite film exhibited different ion exchange behaviors at different scan rates. Based on these results, the ion exchange mechanism was proposed. Compared with the PANI/PSS composite film, the SBA-15/PANI/PSS composite film had higher adsorption capacity as well as higher selectivity toward Pb²⁺ ions, which should be attributed to the 3D porous morphology of the composite film with more active sites in the mesoporous SBA-15. Remarkably, the film maintained a high stability over 97% even after 500 successive cycles. It is expected that this SBA-15/PANI/PSS composite film can serve as a promising electroactive material for the effective separation of Pb²⁺ ions from wastewater.
