Formation Process of MCM-41 Precursor and Porous Texture of MCM-41

The formation process of the MCM-41 precursors (silicate/surfactant complex) was investigated on the basis of the pH titration curves of Na(4)SiO(4) in the presence of [C(16)H(33)N(CH(3))(3)]Cl. Measurements of the pH titration curves were carried out using the computer-controlled gravimetric titrator constructed in our laboratory. The white precipitate (MCM-41 precursor) was abruptly formed at pH 11.1 (298 K) and at pH 9.9 (343 K). Formation of the MCM-41 precursor can be explained by coagulation of the rod-like micelle colloids whose surface is covered by the condensed silicate anions of (HSiO(3))(n)(n-). The porous texture of the MCM-41 samples whose precursors were synthesized under different conditions was analyzed on the basis of the adsorption isotherms of nitrogen at 77 K. It has been shown that the MCM-41 sample whose precursor was prepared at pH 9.9 and 343 K shows one sharp peak (r(p) = 1.65 nm) in the pore size distribution curve, but the MCM-41 samples whose precursors were prepared at pH 6.5-5.0 and 343 K give two peaks (r(p) = 1.66 nm and r(p) = 2.12-2.36 nm). The appearance of the second peak (r(p) = 2.12-2.36 nm) has been considered to be in connection with the destruction of the MCM-41 precursor into small fragments in acidic medium.

介孔材料MCM-41上汽油吸附深度脱硫

 研究了不同硅铝比的MCM-41介孔材料作为吸附剂对模型汽油以及真实FCC汽油的脱硫性能. 结果表明,在室温和常压下,MCM-41介孔材料对模型溶液中噻吩的吸附随着吸附剂中铝含量的增加而显著提高. 吡啶吸附的红外光谱显示,噻吩吸附容量的提高与吸附材料酸性的明显增大有直接关系. 但在对FCC汽油的吸附脱硫实验中,随着MCM-41中铝含量的提高,脱硫率并未增大. 这主要是由于在FCC汽油中存在大量性质与噻吩类含硫化合物十分相近的芳烃和烯烃,竞争吸附导致MCM-41对有机硫化物的吸附能力显著降低.     

Benzene Adsorption Isotherms on MCM-41 and their Use for Pore Size Analysis

This work is focused on the elaboration of methodology for adsorption characterization of porous silicas by using benzene adsorption isotherms measured on good quality MCM-41 materials. Three MCM-41 samples were synthesized by using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source and surfactants, octyltrimethylammonium (C8), decyltrimethylammonium (C10) and cetyltrimethylammonium (C16) bromides as templates. A characteristic feature of this synthesis was relatively long hydrothermal treatment (5 days) at 373 K, which gave well ordered samples as evidenced by powder XRD analysis. Benzene adsorption isotherms measured on these MCM-41 samples were used to evaluate such standard quantities as the BET specific surface area, total pore volume, external surface area and the volume of ordered mesopores, and to obtain the statistical film thickness (t-curve) as well as the Kelvin-type relation, which describes the dependence between pore width and condensation pressure for benzene on silica at 298 K. The latter relations were incorporated into the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda algorithm to extend its applicability to calculate the pore size distributions from benzene adsorption data.     

用实验吸附等温线和计算机分子模拟表征中孔分子筛MCM-41

首先比较了表征MCM-41的两个势模型对吸附等温线的影响。发现在一维势模型 中,低压部分的吸附应与选用的势模型的势阱深度有关,而毛细凝聚发生的位置与 孔壁在离壁面较远处与流体分子的相互作用的强弱有关。然后作者使用了一个“混 合”的势模型,即采用作者提出的势函数表征孔壁中氧原子对MCM-41中流体分子的 作用,而采用Tjatjopoulos等提出的势函数近似地表征MCM-41表面硅醇基团以及一 些未知因子对流体分子的作用。虽然这种势模型仍然是一维的,但这种势模型将孔 壁内氧原子的作用和表面上非均匀性分开考虑,具有较明确的物理意义。通过计算 机模拟与实验数据的比较发现,这种势模型可以较好地拟合氮气在MCM-41中的吸附 等温线。

Fractal Approach to Adsorption Isotherms of Water Vapor on Active Carbons

Adsorption isotherms of water vapor on active carbons are interpreted in terms of the fractal approach. The linear range of plots in the steep rise of the adsorption branch is the process of the cluster formation of water on the seed water molecules adsorbed on the primary adsorption centers, mainly the oxygen-surface complexes, with the fractal dimension D = 1.64-1.67 which is equivalent to that for the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model with D approximately 1.66. Also, it is shown that the two-dimensional characteristics of micropore structures are reflected in the adsorption branch and the three-dimensional ones are in the desorption branch, respectively, by the analyses of the D and the average micropore width L based on the characteristic adsorption amounts at the beginning and the ending points of the steeply rising and falling linear ranges on both branches.

Modified Mesoporous Silicate MCM-41 for Zinc Ion Adsorption: Synthesis, Characterization and Its Adsorption Behavior

Modified MCM‐41 has been prepared by bi‐functionalization of thiol and amino functional groups onto mesoporous silicate MCM‐41. Elemental analysis (EA), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and FTIR techniques were used to quantify the attachment of the thiol and amino functional groups to the mesoporous silicate pore wall. Powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) and nitrogen adsorption techniques were used to establish the pore diameter, packing of the pores and specific surface area of the modified mesoporous silicate MCM‐41. Adsorption behavior for 18 metal ions on this sorbent has been studied and discussed. This sorbent has high affinity for zinc ions against amino‐ or thiol‐functionalized MCM‐41 sorbents.     

Adsorption of Carbon Tetrachloride by 3.4 nm Pore Diameter Siliceous MCM-41: Isotherms and Neutron Diffraction

Adsorption isotherms of carbon tetrachloride at temperatures between 273 and 323 K have been determined on the pure silica form of MCM-41 of pore diameter ca. 3.4 nm. All isotherms were of Type V, the isotherms at 273, 288 and 303 K showing hysteresis loops, whereas the isotherm at 323 K was completely reversible. Despite the questionable validity of the Kelvin equation when applied to narrow mesopores, changes in the relative pressure positions of capillary condensation and evaporation as a function of the temperature appear to be well described. Neutron diffraction measurements at 200 and 273 K show significant changes in the physical properties of the adsorbed CCl4 in the MCM-41 from those of bulk adsorbate. The results also suggest a highly heterogeneous surface and appear to show some flexibility in the pore walls upon pore filling. The conditions required for first order reversible capillary condensation are discussed.     

Nitrogen Adsorption Study of MCM-41 Molecular Sieves Synthesized Using Hydrothermal Restructuring

Nitrogen desorption scanning hysteresis loops (DSHLs) for large-pore MCM-41 silicas (pore diameter from 4.0 to 6.5 nm) are reported for the first time. DSHLs for MCM-41 were compared with those of conventional mesoporous silicas and no appreciable differences were found, although hysteresis loops and DSHLs for the latter were usually broader. Since desorption behavior of conventional porous silicas is appreciably influenced by pore connectivity, the observed similarity in hysteresis behavior suggests single-pore blocking effects for MCM-41 due to variation of pore diameter along its nonintersecting channels. It was also shown that the steepness of nitrogen desorption branches at relative pressures close to 0.4 often results from proximity of the lower pressure limit of adsorption-desorption irreversibility and consequently it is not justified to consider it as an indication of narrow pore size distribution. Thus, application of desorption data in calculations of pore size distributions may be grossly misleading.     

Preparation and Properties of Zirconium Hydride on the Surface of MCM-41 Mesoporous Molecular Sieves

Zirconium monohydride bonded to the framework oxygen of MCM-41 surface was prepared by the reaction of tetraneopentyl zirconium with MCM-41 surface hydroxyl groups, followed by the hydrogenolysis of the resulted product. The surface hydride was characterized by using infrared spectroscopy, solid-state NMR, elemental analysis, gas-phase chromatography and chemical probing reaction. It was shown that this surface species is stable below 150 'C and can catalytically crack alkanes into methane and ethane at 100 .     

介孔分子筛MCM-41的水热稳定性

介孔分子筛MCM-41在催化、吸附分离以及化学组装制备先进材料等方面具有潜在的巨大应用价值,但MCM-41的低水热稳定性使其在催化研究领域中的应用受到了极大的限制。因此,提高介孔分子筛的水热稳定性具有十分重要的科研和实际应用意义。笔者对介孔分子筛MCM-41低水热稳定性的原因作了简要分析,并系统地介绍了近几年来在提高介孔分子筛水热稳定性方面的研究工作。

The Synthesis and Characteristics of Vanadoaluminosilicate MCM-41 Mesoporous Molecular Sieves

A series of vanadoaluminosilicate MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves with various compositions have been hydrothermally synthesized. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide was used as a surfactant in the synthesis. The samples were characterized with nitrogen sorption, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform-Infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and solid state NMR. The solid products had the MCM-41 structure and contained only atomically dispersed vanadium and aluminum consistent with framework vanadium and aluminum. The samples were hydrophobic and contained large amount of surfactant in the as-synthesized samples. The surfactant could be removed upon calcination at 450°C. N₂ sorption measurements and TEM demonstrate the high mesoporosity of [V, Al]-MCM-41. The incorporation of vanadium and aluminum into MCM-41 decreased the surface area to some extent. The morphologies of all the samples were the agglomerate of plates. ²⁹Si MAS NMR shows that the pore wall is amorphous. ²⁷Al MAS NMR shows that all of aluminum species were tetrahedrally coordinated even after calcination at 550°C.     

Adsorption Isotherm of Water Vapor and Its Large Hysteresis on Highly Ordered Mesoporous Silica

The first and second adsorption–desorption isotherms of water vapor on a new mesoporous material derived from kanemite have been measured. The isotherms show unusual type V isotherms and large hysteresis. The type V isotherms, which have never been observed for the other adsorbates, suggest that the mesoporous material has a hydrophobic surface, although the hydrophobicity decreased after treatment with water vapor because of rehydration of the surface. The significantly large hysteresis could be explained by the difference in contact angle between adsorption and desorption.
