表面活性剂对纳米MCM-41分子筛分散性的影响

采用聚乙二醇为分散剂,十六烷基三甲基溴化铵为模板剂,正硅酸乙酯为硅源,在室温碱性条件下合成了粒径为40～60 nm的单分散纳米球形MCM-41分子筛.利用XRD、TEM和N2吸附脱附等手段研究了聚乙二醇用量对纳米球形MCM-41的分散性和介孔结构的影响.结果表明,表面活性剂PEG的加入,可以明显改善纳米颗粒的分散性并且对颗粒形貌影响不大;表面活性剂PEG的加入,样品的六方结构有序性和孔尺寸发生变化.PEG量在1%～20%范围内,样品仍具有较高的六方孔道有序性;PEG量过大(60%)有序性明显下降.随着PEG加入量的增加,纳米MCM-41的晶面间距增大,孔尺寸增大.适量的聚乙二醇可以得到有序性好、比表面积大、孔径均一和孔隙率大的单分散纳米球形MCM-41分子筛.     

ZnCl2/Si-MCM-41催化剂的制备、表征及催化性能研究

通过浸渍法制备了新型的环境友好催化剂ZnCl2／Si-MCM-41。考察了它在苯与苄氯的苄基化反应上的活性，探索了制备ZnCl2／Si-MCM-41负载试剂的最佳制备条件。研究表明：ZnCl2／Si-MCM-41的最佳制备条件是负载量为4mmol/g，活化温度为150℃，活化时间为5h。通过XRD、TG、FT-IR对催化剂进行表征，发现ZnCl2在较低负载量时，ZnCl2充分分散在载体孔道内，对催化剂载体的结构没有明显的影响，而且此负载试剂上苯的苄基化反应的活性中心不是晶体ZnCl2，而是存在于载体表面的非晶态ZnCl2物种。

Preparation of polypropylene‐based nanocomposites using nanosized MCM‐41 as support and in situ polymerization

MCM‐41 nanoparticles were used for preparing nanocomposites through the in situ polymerization of propylene. The performance of the catalytic system and the final properties of the materials obtained are highly dependent on the methodology used for impregnation of the catalyst onto the support particles, and therefore an optimization study for the impregnation methodology of the catalyst (Me₂Si(Ind)₂ZrCl₂) was carried out. Two different methodologies were used; the results in terms of catalytic activity and polymer molecular masses indicated that the most promising one involved the pre‐activation of the catalyst with the cocatalyst, methylaluminoxane, followed by impregnation onto the MCM‐41 nanoparticles. Thus, an optimized route for the preparation of polypropylene nanocomposites achieving significant improvements in catalyst activity was developed. The nanocomposite materials were characterized by GPC, TGA and DSC. The dispersion state and the size of the nanoparticles incorporated in the polypropylene matrix were investigated by transmission electron microcopy. Additionally, this methodology allows simultaneous control of the desired amount of support and the concentration of catalyst to be used in the in situ polymerization. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry     

Layered precursors for new zeolitic materials: Synthesis and characterization of B-RUB-39 and its condensation product B-RUB-41

Condensation of layered silicate precursors leads to new, all silica zeolite frameworks. In order to introduce catalytic functionality, boron has been substituted into the silicate layer of RUB-39 in a single step synthesis process. Condensation of the silicate layer to the zeolite framework of RUB-41, RRO framework structure type, preserved B as constituent of the material. Analysis of structural details obtained from Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction data, ¹¹B and ²⁹Si NMR experiments of the as synthesized precursor as well as of the zeolite condensation product, and crystal chemical reasoning indicates segregation of B on one specific T-site. This T-site is buried in the silicate anionic layer of the precursor shielding the additional negative charge introduced by the trivalent T-atom.     

Structural/texture evolution of CaO/MCM‐41 nanocatalyst by doping various amounts of cerium for active and stable catalyst: Biodiesel production from waste vegetable cooking oil

In present work, the aim of producing biodiesel from waste cooking oil was pursued by doping the cerium element into the MCM‐41 framework as catalyst with various Si/Ce molar ratio (5, 10, 25, 50, and Ce = 0). The catalytic performance and stability improved by employing the ultrasound irradiation in active phase loading step of catalyst preparation. The physicochemical characteristics of synthesized samples were investigated using various techniques as follows: Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET), X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The XRD patterns along with the results of FTIR and BET analysis revealed the MCM‐41 framework destruction while increasing the Ce content. The FESEM images of the nanocatalysts illustrated a well distribution and uniform morphology for the Ca/CeM (Si/Ce = 25). The particle size and size distribution of the Ca/CeM (Si/Ce = 25) were subsequently determined by TEM and FESEM images. The activity of fabricated nanocatalysts was evaluated by measuring the free acid methyl ester (FAME) content of produced biodiesel. The tests were carried out at constant operational conditions: T = 60°C, catalyst loading = 5 wt%, methanol/oil molar ratio = 9, and 6‐hour reaction time. A superior activity was observed for Ca/CeM (Si/Ce = 25) among other nanocatalysts with 96.8% conversion of triglycerides to biodiesel. The mentioned sample was utilized in five reaction cycles, and at the end of the fifth cycle, the conversion reached to 91.5% which demonstrated its significant stability.     

Study on photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution over CdS/M-MCM-41 (M = Zr, Ti) composite photocatalysts under visible light illumination

A series of CdS/M(x)-MCM-41 (M = Zr, Ti, x stands for molar ratio of M/Si) photocatalysts were preprared by hydrotherm, ion-exchange and sulfidation process. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectra and N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherm et al. The characterization results shown that Zr or Ti was successfully doped into the mesoporous of MCM-41, and CdS was also successfully incorporated into such modified mesoporous. The results of photocatalytic performance for hydrogen production shown that CdS/Zr(0.005)-MCM-41 and CdS/Ti(0.02)-MCM-41 had the highest hydrogen evolution activity in triethanolamine aqueous solution under visible light (λ > 430 nm) irradiation, which can be explained by the diffusion velocity of the reactants and resultants and the protection which MCM-41 provided for CdS.
