The paper presents a spectroscopic and catalytic study of encapsulated Keggin type heteropoly acid (12-tungstophosphoric acid, HPW) in the mesopores of MCM-41 molecular sieves. Nitrogen physisorption, FTIR, SEM, XRD and catalytic methods have been used to characterize and compare the properties of the samples. Methanol conversion, ?-pinene isomerization and ethyl acetate oxidation have been applied as model reactions for the evaluation of acid site activity. The combined physicochemical and catalytic investigations clearly show that the introduction of 12-tungstophosphoric acid into MCM-41 causes significant changes in the properties of the sample.

Abstract. Using MCM-41 molecular sieves as the support, Cu-ZnO/MCM-41 and Cu/MCM-41 catalysts were prepared by impregnation and grinding. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and TPR methods. The catalytic activity of the dehydrogenation of methanol to methyl formate (MF) was evaluated using the flow microreactor under atmospheric pressure. According to the results, the catalyst prepared by impregnation had a better selectivity for the MF, but a lower methanol conversion rate. However, the product's selectivity could be improved by adding ZnO additive while the methanol conversion rate was reduced. For Cu/MCM-41 prepared by impregnation and grinding, the methanol conversion rate was 20.18% and 24.13% respectively at 250°C and the MF selectivity was 73.75% and 67.35% respectively. Likewise for Cu-ZnO/MCM-41 prepared by impregnation and grinding, the methanol conversion rate was 15.28% and 18.83% respectively at 250°C and the MF selectivity was 81.31% and 75.32% respectively.

AbstractA lean NOx catalyst is needed to control NOx emissions generated by oxygen-rich combustion processes to obtain higher fuel economy. We have developed such a catalyst using modified mesoporous molecular sieves (MCM-41). An iron(II)-complex impregnated MCM-41 has been synthesized which has been further treated with [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2. This treatment resulted in further exchange of Na+ ions of the molecular sieves with Pd(NH3)42+ thus forming Catalyst A. The catalytic activity towards NOx, CO and HC was studied using simulated exhaust gas, as well as engine exhaust gas.

Al-containing mesoporous molecular sieves(Al-MCM-41) were synthesized at ambient temperature. The structures of samples were characterized by XRD, N2-adsorption/desorption isotherms and FT-IR, etc. The evaluation results showed that Al-MCM-41 had higher catalytic activity for isomerization conversion of endo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (endo-TCD) into exo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (exo-TCD) and adamantane (AdH). Loading inorganic acid on the surface of Al-MCM-41 led increase of its catalytic activity and the yield of adamantane.

AbstractA series of crystalline mesoporous molecular sieves were prepared using alkyl hexadecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide salts (C16H33)(CnH2n + 1)(CH3)2NBr, in which the number of carbon atoms (n) in one alkyl group was varied from 1 to 12. The influence of (n) value on the nature of the final phase obtained and on its pore size was investigated. A hexagonal phase was obtained for n = 1, 3, 5 and 7, while a lamellar phase was obtained for all other templates. Vanadium and titanium modified MCM-41 molecular sieves were also prepared in the presence of C12H25(CH3)3N+ and C16H33(CH3)3N+ ions, respectively. These materials were characterized by XRD, nitrogen physisorption, FTIR, solid state NMR, XPS, UV-Vis and catalytic testing in the oxidation of 1-naphthol, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, norbornylene, n-hexane and propylamine. Ti-MCM-41 exhibited considerable catalytic activity only in the oxidation of aromatics, olefins and alcohols. V-MCM-41 was found to be a good catalyst in the oxidation of aromatics and alkanes.
