Aim and Objective: Production of light olefins from methanol was studied over SAPO-34 molecular sieves exploring the effect of mono and dual templates. Herein, the single templates of TEA, morpholine and mixed template of TEA/morpholine (equal molar ratio of TEA and morpholine) were used to synthesize SAPO-34 catalysts. Materials and Methods: The prepared samples were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis method and characterized with XRD, FESEM, PSD, EDX, BET and FTIR techniques. Results: It was found that the crystallinity decreased upon applying TEA as template and also it can be noted that the intensity of the SAPO-34 phase peaks increased by increasing the morpholine in template mixture. Production of much smoother particles for the catalyst synthesized with binary template mixture of TEA/morpholine can be depended on the crystallinity increase. Si incorporation value was decreased for the catalyst with a major phase of SAPO-5 (topological structure of AFI). It is indicative that the TEA application would facilitate the formation of AFI structure which is incapable of the incorporating higher amounts of Si in to the crystallite framework. Conclusion: The nature of the template determines the morphology of final product due to different rate of crystal growth obtained in accordance with XRD and FESEM results. Therefore, the catalyst synthesized with TEA/morpholine mixture shows the best performance among synthesized samples in terms of life time in the MTO process sustaining light olefins selectivity at higher values (about 90% after 630 min TOS).

A series of MCM-41 molecular sieves with different molar ratio of template to silicon were synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis method by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template, diatomite as the silicon source. By using impregnation method, the Mn-Ce/MCM-41 SCR molecular sieve-based catalysts were prepared. The results observed that when the molar ratio of template to silicon was 0.2:1, the MCM-41 as catalyst carrier has the highest surface area and largest pore volume, it also presented typically ordered hexagonal arrays of uniform channels. The denitration catalytic material based on this carrier has a high number of Lewis acidic sites, and the denitration efficiency can reach more than 93%.

Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous materials with silicalite-1 structure were synthesized in one step co-condensation technique and subsequent transformed into solid acid materials. The tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was used as the primary inorganic silica source with the phenethyltrimethoxysilane (PE) as an organic modifier. The effect of the PE presence in the initial synthesis mixture was studied by varying the molar ratio of PE to TEOS in the range of 0.05 to 0.20. The resulting organic-inorganic hybrid materials were characterized for its crystallinity (X-ray diffraction, XRD), surface morphology (scanning electron microscopy, SEM) and elemental composition (elemental analysis). The degree of chemical interactions between the organic and inorganic phases was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The acid strength of the organic-inorganic hybrid solid acid materials was also obtained by titration technique.

An ester of butanediol-alginate has been studied as a possible hemodialysis membrane. With 1,4-butanediol molar ratio of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0, it showed that the membrane mechanical properties, stability, protein adsorption, platelet adhesion and performance for urea and creatinine clearance are better than that of unmodified alginate. The increase in 1,4-butanediol molar ratio causes hemodialysis ratio to improve, and causes protein adsorption and platelet adhesion at the membrane surface to decrease. In the case of protein adsorption and platelet adhesion, the membrane with the molar ratio of 1.0 has better hemocompatibility properties. In the hemodialysis test for 4 h, using 2.742 mg cm-2 h-1 of urea and 0.058 mg cm-2 h-1 of creatinine flux, this membrane showed that 48.5% of urea and 44.2% of creatinine were cleaned.

Ammonium iron citrate was used as an iron precursor in order to prepare N-doped catalysts supported on KMnO4 pretreated activated carbon (10MnK-AC). Iron nitride was synthesized in company with the formation of α-Fe2O3 on 10MnK-AC. The characterizations of the catalysts show that nitrogen atoms were doped into iron lattice rather than the networks of the carbon support. The performance of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis to light olefins (FTO) suggest an improvement in O/P ratio (olefins to paraffins molar ratio of C2–C4) over the iron catalysts supported on 10MnK-AC. The further promotion of light olefins selectivity (up to 44.7%) was obtained over FeN-10MnK-AC catalyst owing to the collaborative contribution of the electron donor effect of nitrogen and the suppression effect on the second hydrogenation over 10MnK-AC support.

AbstractCerium ion was successfully incorporated into Y/SBA-15 micro-mesoporous molecular sieves via the hydrothermal synthesis method to give a series of composite materials. The prepared materials were thoroughly characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and differential thermo gravimetric analysis (TG-DTG). The results showed that the prepared composite materials retained the highly ordered mesoporous two-dimensional hexagonal structure of SBA-15 and the octagonal structure of Y. The catalyst Ce-Y/SBA-15 was prepared and characterized, then the esterification of n-butanol and oleic acid was studied with bismuth phosphotungstate as a catalyst. Using this model reaction, the effects of Ce-HY/SBA-15, molar ratio of alcohol to oleic acid, amount of catalysts, reaction time and reaction temperature were investigated. The experimental results show that the optimal reaction conditions were: 1.8:1 molar ratio of alcohol to acid, 5 % catalyst amount (based on weight of oleic acid), 4 h reaction time and reflux conditions. Under these conditions, the yield of esterification was 90.6 %. The results suggest that the addition of Ce can effectively improve the catalytic properties of composite molecular sieves.

Bone reconstruction biomaterials are topics of interest in dentistry, orthopedics, scientific, commercial. The most popular bone repairing and reconstruction biomaterials are calcium phosphates. The demand for biomaterials is associated with the chemical and crystallographic characteristics of the human bone apatite. The wet synthesis method is common in the production of nanostructured powders of hydrated calcium phosphates, providing nanoparticles with sizes less than 50nm. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize hydrated calcium phosphate powders in the molar ratio of Ca/P = 1.67. After calcination at temperature 900°C/2h, these powders provide nanostructured hydroxyapatite matrix. The characterization studies were performed with Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-rays diffraction and Infrared Spectroscopy by Fourier Transform. The results show that the synthesis method provides hydrated calcium phosphate powders formed by aggregated and agglomerated nanoparticles. The thermal treatment of hydrated calcium phosphate powder led to formation of hydroxyapatite matrix.
