硅源对MCM-22分子筛合成及物化性质的影响

在动态水热条件下,研究了硅溶胶、白炭黑、硅酸及硅胶为硅源时对MCM-22分子筛合成及物化性质的影响。以硅溶胶、白炭黑、硅酸三种硅源均可合成出高结晶度且无杂晶的片状MCM-22分子筛,其平均粒径分别为190、220和750 nm。硅源影响分子筛的聚集形态,三种硅源分别形成晶粒分散、晶粒半分散及晶粒聚集形态。三组样品的酸强度分布基本一致,都具有较多的中强酸分布,由硅溶胶和硅酸所得MCM-22分子筛在中强酸范围具有更高的B/L酸比值,以白炭黑合成的分子筛总酸量最高。NMR结果表明,样品中的铝以骨架铝为主,不存在明显的非骨架铝。由于硅胶对合成体系中游离水的吸附作用,水热反应难以发生,不能得到MCM-22分子筛,硅胶作为分子筛合成硅源时需要选择合适的反应条件。

New procedure of silica gel surface modification preparation of gaseous standard mixtures for calibration purposes

The new type of silica gel surface modification with using the trimethylamine as a reagent is described. The samples of chemically modified silica gel have been used for generation of gaseous standard mixtures (methyl chloride as a measurand) using the technique of thermal decomposition of the surface compound. The main aim of the research was to check the suitability of the new type of silica gel surface modification for obtaining methyl chloride as a measurand of gaseous standard mixture. The gaseous standard mixture obtained with using this technique was used for calibration of a thermal desorber-gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (TD-GC-FID) system. The homogeneity of coverage of silica gel surface with the immobilized compound has been evaluated. The full uncertainty budget of determination of liberated amount of methyl chloride has been calculated. The average amount of methyl chloride liberated from the unit sample of chemically modified silica gel is 3.59 +/- 0.13 mg g(-1). The influence of the modification way on the amount of liberated analyte has also been determined.     

Sorption of arsenic onto inorganic sorbents modified with iron compounds

Granulated inorganic sorbents based on silica gel of KSKG grade and aluminum oxide and modified with Fe(III) compounds were developed for water treatment to remove As(V). The influence of the particle size of the modifying additive on the ability of silica gel to take up As(V) was examined. The KSKG-based sorbents modified with nanoparticles of Fe(III) compounds exhibit the highest sorption capacity. The capacity of silica gel based sorbents modified with nanoparticles of iron compounds for As(V) is higher than that of analogous sorbents modified with iron oxides prepared by thermal decomposition of Fe(III) nitrate.     

Effect of silica on the stability of the nanostructure and texture of fine-particle alumina

The effect of the modification of aluminum oxide with silicon oxide on the stability of fine-particle Γ- and δ-Al₂O₃ phases upon heat treatment in the wide temperature range of 550–1500°C was studied. It was found that the Γ- and δ-Al₂O₃ phases modified with silica are thermally stable up to higher temperatures than pure aluminum oxide. This is due to changes in the real structure of the modified samples, specifically, an increase in the concentration of extensive defects stabilized by hydroxyl groups bound to not only aluminum atoms but also silicon atoms. It is likely that Si-OH groups, which are thermally more stable than Al-OH groups, stabilize the microstructure of Γ- and δ-Al₂O₃ to higher temperatures, as compared with aluminum oxide containing no additives. Simultaneously, an increase in the thermal stability of the modified samples is accompanied by the retention of a high specific surface area and a developed pore structure at higher treatment temperatures.     

Novel architectures in porous materials based on clays

Modification of layered clays in view to develop porous materials, mainly for catalytic applications, has been afforded in the past via intercalation reaction of aluminum and other polyoxycations or through generation of mesoporous silica between the layers of the silicate. In this paper it is introduced examples of an alternative route for the preparation of porous nanoarchitectures based on the sol–gel method that profits from the swelling ability of organoclays in organic solvents to incorporate silicon and/or other metal (e.g., Ti, Al,…) alkoxides in the interlayer region of the silicates where they are hydrolyzed in a controlled manner. Their further polycondensation originates the formation of an oxide matrix and after a thermal treatment is possible the consolidation of oxide nanoparticles between delaminated smectites and vermiculites. It is also showed how this colloidal route can be applied to the generation of oxide nanoparticles bonded to the external surface of fibrous clays, such as sepiolite. Finally, it is also summarized with various examples the potential interest of the resulting porous clay nanoarchitecture materials in applications as acid catalysts, photocatalysts or nanofillers in polymer–clay nanocomposites.     

Preparation of Tin Oxide-Based Metal Oxide Particles

Tin oxide-doped hybrid particles were prepared by a wet chemical process with organic-inorganic (phenyl/silica) hybrid particles in an alcoholic solution. The phenyl/silica hybrid particles, with a diameter of ca. 790 nm were used as a new support material for tin oxide (SnO₂) particles from tin(IV) chloride. The surface of the particles was modified via nitration of aromatic groups in the particles, to promote formation of the tin oxide coating on the particles. The thickness and surface morphology of the tin oxide layer coated on the nitrated-phenyl/silica hybrid particles could be controlled by varying the tin(IV) chloride concentration and reaction time. The size and morphology of the resultant particles were investigated with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particles obtained were also characterised by infrared (FTIR) and solid-state ¹³C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy. The effect of processing parameters on the crystallinity and structure of the doped hybrids were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns.     

Silicon-silica nanowires, nanotubes, and biaxial nanowires: inside, outside, and side-by-side growth of silicon versus silica on zeolite

It was demonstrated that zeolite can be used as a pseudo-template to grow very fine and uniform silicon nanostructures via disproportionation reaction of SiO by thermal evaporation. Three distinct types of composite nanowires and nanotubes of silicon and silica were grown on the surfaces of zeolite Y pellets. The first type is formed by an ultrafine crystalline silicon nanowire sheathed by an amorphous silica tube (a silicon nanowire inside a silica nanotube). The second type is formed by a crystalline silicon nanotube filled with amorphous silica (a silicon nanotube outside a silica nanowire). The third type is a biaxial silicon-silica nanowire structure with side-by-side growth of crystalline silicon and amorphous silica. These silicon nanostructures exhibit unusually intense photoluminescence (in comparison to ordinary silicon nanowires).     

Studies on sorption of plutonium on inorganic ion exchangers from sodium carbonate medium

Sorption of Pu(IV) from sodium carbonate medium has been investigated by using three inorganic ion exchangers, viz. alumina, silica gel and hydrous titanium oxide (HTO). Distribution ratios (D) of Pu(IV) for its sorption on these ion exchangers have been determined. The values are 700, 10³ and 10⁴ for alumina, silica gel and hydrous titanium oxide, respectively, from 0.1M sodium carbonate medium. The high distribution ratios indicate their suitability for the removal of Pu(IV) from sodium carbonate waste streams. Pu(IV) breakthrough capacities have been determined with 5 ml bed at a flow rate of 30 ml per hour. The 10% Pu(IV) breakthough capacities for alumina and silica gel are 3 g l^–1 and 14 g l^–1, respectively. The capacity of HTO is 60 g of Pu(IV) per liter of exchanger at 4% Pu(IV) breakthrough.     

Studies of mixed silica/alumina and silica/boric oxide materials

Multinuclear low temperature solution NMR and FTIR has been used to monitor the hydrolysis and polymerisation chemistry involved in the preparation of multicomponent silica/alumina and silica/boric oxide monolithic gels. Pre-hydrolysis of the silicon component (tetraethylorthosilicate) in the presence of low levels of water is an important factor in obtaining transparent materials. In order to obtain high homogeneity and minimise the subsequent precipitation of the fastest hydrolysing component, ethylacetonate (etac) has been used to modify the aluminum alkoxides. Solid state nmr and FTIR studies show that the borosilicate system contains Si-O-B bonds during the early stages of polymerisation but they are absent on final gelation. Thermal treatment to around 500°C is required to generate mixed Si-O-B bonds. Length of prehydrolysis has little affect on the nature of the Si-O-B gel materials but has a significant effect on the chemical nature of Si-O-Al materials. Longer silicon alkoxide prehydrolysis times lead to better defined materials.formerly Carole C. Perry.formerly at Chemistry Department, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex. UB8 3PH UK.     

SOME INVESTIGATIONS ON POLY(SULPHUR OXIDE) AND ITS REACTION WITH SILICON TETRACHLORIDE

Abstract

Poly(sulphur oxide) has been prepared by the low temperature thermal decomposition of the lower oxides of sulphur. This yellow, elastic solid resists water hydrolysis. It is unstable at room temperature when stored under vacuum and decomposes slowly to a powdery yellow white cyclic(sulphur oxide) and sulphur dioxide. In the presence of silicon tetrachloride, the thermal decomposition gives rise to an adduct of the lower oxide of sulphur along with the poly(sulphur oxide). The adduct hydrolyses to silica, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen sulphite. Based on the analysis of the hydrolysed products and the IR data, the adduct is assigned a formula of SiCl₄·2(SO), in which the silicon is hexacoordinated.     

Study of radiation-induced polymerization of vinyl monomers adsorbed on inorganic substances. VIII. Polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate adsorbed on aerosil

Aerosil is silica having a purity which is very high compared with that of silica gel and having, unlike silica gel, no micropores. To investigate the effects of impurities and micropores on the radiation-induced polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate adsorbed on silica gel, the radiation-induced polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate adsorbed on Aerosil was carried out. The results of both the styrene–Aerosil 300 system and the methyl methacrylate–Aerosil 300 system were similar to those of the styrene–silica gel and methyl methacrylate–silica gel systems, respectively. This suggests that in the radiation-induced polymerization of both styrene–silica gel and methyl methacrylate–silica gel systems the impurity and the presence of micropores have almost no effects on the reaction mechanism. The effect of aluminum as an impurity was investigated on the styrene–Aerosil MOX 170 system. It was found that aluminum accelerated the cationic polymerization.     

Development of fluorous Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions

Organic synthetic methodology in the 21st century aims to conform to the principles of green sustainable chemistry (GSC) and we may expect that in the future, the realization of GSC will be an important objective for chemical industries. An important aim of synthetic organic chemistry is to implement waste-free and environmentally-benign industrial processes using Lewis acids as versatile as aluminum chloride. A key technological objective of our work in this area has been to achieve a "catalyst recycling system that utilizes the high activity and structural features of fluorous Lewis acid catalysts". Thus, we have developed a series of novel fluorous Lewis acid catalysts, namely the ytterbium(III), scandium(III), tin(IV) or hafnium(IV) bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonyl)amides or tris(perfluoro- alkanesulfonyl)methides. Our catalysts are recyclable and effective for acylations of alcohols and aromatics, Baeyer-Villiger reactions, direct esterifications and transesterifications in a fluorous biphasic system (FBS), in supercritical carbon dioxide and on fluorous silica gel supports.     

Binary ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> xerogels: Synthesis and properties

Binary systems of silica and zirconia xerogels have been prepared by hydrolysis of zirconium(IV) oxychloride in the silica gel matrix. Systems of various composition have been studied by ¹H NMR, IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry and have been tested in a model process of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. It has been shown that the physicochemical properties of binary oxide systems can be tailored by varying the component ratio.     

Synthesis and Electrosurface Properties of One- and Two-Component Nanostructures

One- and two-component (titanium and aluminum oxides) oxide nanostructures are synthesized by molecular layer-by-layer deposition from the gas phase onto silicon oxide and boehmite substrates. Two-component nanostructures are prepared by the consecutive deposition of nanolayers of aluminum and titanium oxides onto a dispersed silica substrate. Electrosurface properties of thus-prepared samples are studied and compared. It is shown that the positions of the isoelectric point and the point of zero charge of a 5TiO₂/5Al₂O₃/SiO₂ composite sample are governed by an outer titanium oxide nanolayer and are similar to those of bulk titanium oxide and a nanostructured film of titanium oxide deposited onto an aluminum hydroxide substrate.__________Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 67, No. 4, 2005, pp. 469–474.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bogdanova, Ermakova, Chikhachev, Sidorova, Aleksandrov, Savina.     

Aggregation Behavior of Alkoxide-Derived Silica in Sol-Gel Process in Presence of Poly(ethylene oxide)

Growth behavior of silica in an acid catalyzed sol-gel process from silicon alkoxide in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, was investigated by in situ small angle X-ray scattering, SAXS, and ²⁹Si NMR measurements. The results of SAXS, that aggregation and gel formation behaviors of silica were affected by the presence of PEO, suggested a strong attractive interaction between silica oligomers and PEO. A possible reaction scheme of silica in the presence of PEO is as follows; (1) PEO and small silica oligomers coexist in the solution without specific interaction just after hydrolysis of the silicon alkoxide. (2) With the progress of condensation, a ramified aggregated complex between PEO and silica oligomers is formed, which is characterized by larger apparent value of radius of gyration and smaller fractal dimension than in the PEO-free system. (3) After gelation, the fractal dimension of scatterers remains to be smaller than that in the PEO-free system, because PEO associated with the silica network inhibits aggregation within the gel networks. Furthermore, PEO inhibits the condensation in the aging and in the drying process, leading to less strongly crosslinked dry gel. A temporal maximum in the time evolution of R_g was observed for the samples separated into two phases with their characteristic domain size being larger than several micrometers. This is considered to be a phenomenon related to increase and divergence of correlation length near and at the critical point.     

A Rapid and Convenient Synthesis of Acylals from Aldehydes and Acetic Anhydrides Catalyzed by SnCl_4/SiO_2

Acylals (1, 1-diacetates) are efficient protecting groups for aldehydes as they are stable in neutral and basic media1. Usually, the acylals are prepared from aldehydes and acetic anhydride in the presence of strong protonic acids such as sulfuric acid2, phosphoric acid2, or methanesulfonic acid2, and Lewis acids such as anhydrous zinc chloride3, phosphorus(III) chloride4, and anhydrous ferric(III) chloride5.

Role of hydrolysis in the sorption isolation of radionuclides from solutions

The sorption of hydrolized iron(III) and plutonium(IV) species by silica gel has been studied. It is shown that both mononuclear and polynuclear hydroxo complexes of iron(III) and plutonium(IV) display an increased and specific sorption activity in respect to silica gel.     

A comparative study of microstructural development in the sol–gel derived alumina–mullite nanocomposites using colloidal silica and tetraethyl orthosilicate

This paper compares the microstructure development of two alumina–15 vol% mullite composites during the sintering. The nanopowders of alumina–mullite composite were synthesized by the sol–gel method using aluminum chloride hexahydrate and two different silicon sources (colloidal silica in route 1 and tetraethyl orthosilicate in route 2). The alumina–mullite composites were prepared by pressing and sintering of the nanopowders. Although the intergranular mullites were observed in both routes, there were mullite particles in route 2 formed inside the alumina grains (intragranular mullite). Formation of the intragranular mullite is attributed to the drop in silica solubility, which occurs during the transition from metastable alumina to stable alumina. Compared to route 1, the relative density and the average grain size were increased and accelerated by route 2. The two-stage sintering is not useful for the mullite decomposition.
