The zeolite Y had been successfully modified by HCl and/or NaOH treatment. The modification of zeolite Y was performed by leaching the protonated zeolite Y (HY) in HCl solution (0.1 and 0.5 M) at 70 °C for 3 h resulting in DY0.1 and DY0.5. Subsequently, HY, DY0.1, and DY0.5 zeolites were immersed in 0.1 M NaOH for 15 min at room temperature resulting in AHY, ADY0.1, and ADY0.5. All samples were analyzed for acidity, crystallinity, Si/Al ratio, morphology, and textural properties. The catalytic performance of all samples was investigated in hydrotreating of α-cellulose bio-oil with a catalyst/feed weight ratio of 1/30. The HCl and NaOH treatment led to the decrease of the zeolite Y crystallinity and the increase of the zeolite Y average pore diameter (i.e., the mesopore distribution). The ADY0.5 gave the highest mesopore distribution, which was 43.7%, with an average pore diameter of 4.59 nm. Moreover, both of the treatments were found to increase the Si/Al ratio that caused the decrease of zeolites Y acidity. All the zeolite Y samples gave better catalytic activity to produce liquid products after being treated by NaOH. The sample ADY0.5 managed to produce 6.12% of 1-isopropyl-2,4-dimethylbenzene that has good potential to be processed into fuel.

Pillared Montmorillonite

AI-pillared montmorillonite was synthesized from raw clay, mined at Sipovo Srpska Republic. Its textural properties and bleaching capacity were compared with some commercial adsorbents and filtration aid materials commonly used in domestic oil industry. The bleaching capacity of AI-pillared montmorillonite is lower than that of commercial Super Celite L748 (Johns Manville, USA) or Perfit PF-3 (Termika dd., Zrenjanin Yugoslavia), but somewhat is higher than the bleaching capacity of pure montmorillonite. The results suggest that the bleaching capacity of the investigated samples is primarily determined by average pore diameter and not by specific surface area.

The research about modification of mordenite characteristics has been performed by H2C2O4 and/or NaOH treatments and catalytic activity tests in hydrotreating of pyrolyzed a-cellulose. Commercial mordenite (HSZ-604OA) as mordenite control (HM) immersed in 0.05, 0.5, and 1.0 M H2C2O4 at 70 °C for three hours resulting in HM-0.05, HM-0.5, and HM-1. The four mordenites were immersed in 0.1 M NaOH for 15 minutes resulting in BHM, BHM-0.05, BHM-0.5, and BHM-1. The catalysts obtained were analyzed by XRD, SAA, ICP, and acidity test. The catalytic activity of the mordenites was evaluated in hydrotreating of pyrolyzed a-cellulose using stainless steel reactor with an H2 gas flow rate of 20 mL.min−1 at 450 °C for two hours with a catalyst: feed weight ratio of 1:60. The liquid products obtained from the hydrotreating were analyzed using GC-MS. The research results showed that the H2C2O4 and/or NaOH treatment towards the mordenites increased Si/Al ratio and decreased crystallinity. The acidity of mordenites decreased along with the increase of the Si/Al ratio. The average pore diameter of BHM, BHM-0.05, BHM-0.5, and BHM-1 mordenites were 2.898; 3.005; 3.792; 7.429 nm, respectively. The BHM-0.5 mordenite showed the highest catalytic activity in generating liquid product (88.88 wt%) and selectivity toward propanol (4.87 wt%). The BHM-1 mordenite showed catalytic activity in generating liquid product (41.16 wt%) and selectivity toward ethanol (1.21 wt%) and 2-heptyne (4.36 wt%).

The ZrC/SiC multi-components modified C/C composites were prepared by using a hybrid precursor containning polycarbosilane and organic zirconium-contained polymeric precursor as impregnant and C/C composites of low density as preform. The porosity, microstructure and mechanical properties of samples were characterized with mercury injection apparatus, scanning electron microscopy and universal electron testing machine respectively. The results show that the porosity and average pore diameter decrease firstly and increase subsequently with the increase of organic zirconium content of the precursor. When the content of organic zirconium is 50%, the porosity and average pore diameter reach minimum which were7.27% and 0.0795um respectively. The most probabilistic pore diameter shifted from 10-100um to 1-10um at the same time; Meanwhile, the flexural properties also increases and drops immediately as the content of organic zirconium in the precursor adds. When the content of organic zirconium is 25%, the flexural strength reaches maximum of 245.20MPa.The improved flexural properties is attributed to the proper bonding of fiber-matrix interface and the low porosity of samples.

Environmentally Friendly Process

This study explores utilization of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers for controlled release of natural bioactive substance. For that purpose, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) beads, cellulose acetate (CA) film, and poly lactic- co-glycolic acid (PLGA) flakes were impregnated with thymol by employing environmentally friendly process of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) impregnation. At selected pressure and temperature, prolongation of operating time increased thymol loading. Pure scCO2 did not affect CA film with average pore diameter of approximately 3 µm, while it enabled change of PCL beads and PLGA flakes into foams with average pore diameter approximately 175 µm and 87 µm, respectively. Additionally to scCO2, thymol acted as a plasticizer increasing pore size of polymers up to three times. Kinetic of thymol release from selected samples was tested using phosphate buffer saline at 37°C and successfully described with Korsmeyer–Peppas, zero-order, first-order, and Higuchi models. The suggested method of PCL, CA, and PLGA supercritical impregnation led to development of porous, solvent free, added-value materials that release thymol in a controlled manner from 5 h to several days.

Sol-gel method and freeze-drying method were adopted to prepare the porous HAPw/KGM composite bone scaffolds and ammonia was used as a crosslinking agent. The porosity, average pore diameter, compressive strength and degradation rate in vitro were measured according to the related standard. The curves of each factor and lever affecting comprehensive properties were drew through the orthogonal design L9 (34) experiment. SEM and XRD were applied in characterization. The results show that the optimal preparation program of the composite scaffolds is KGM (2g), HAPw (4.5g), ammonia (0.1 ml) and the freeze temperature (-20 ° C); the prepared scaffolds are porous three-dimensional network structures; the porosity of optimal scaffold is more than 90%; the average pore diameter is between 200-300μm; the compressive strength is about 0.8Mpa and the degradation rate is about 50% within 9 weeks.

We have investigated and quantified the degree of fibrovascular tissue ingrowth in cylindrical poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) foams of 12.5 mm diameter, 5 mm thickness, and 71% porosity implanted in the mesentery of rats over a period of 25 days. Fibrovascular tissue penetrated the center of PVA foams 5 days postimplantation yet the void fraction available for cell seeding was 55% and the volume average pore diameter was 190 (±39) μm. By 10 days postimplantation the void fraction had decreased to 32% and the volume average pore diameter was 121 (±20) μm. As time elapsed fibrovascular tissue continued to expand and fill the remaining pore space. At 15 days postimplantation the void space was impractical for cell seeding and continued to decrease through the remainder of the study. Our data suggest that hydrogel foams with a polydispersed pore morphology can be prevascularized with adequate space for cell seeding as the volume of tissue penetrating the foam is limited by the smaller pores in the foam structure; however, available void space for cell seeding decreases with time.

Modification of mordenite had been performed by HNO3 and/or NaOH treatments and used as a catalyst in the hydrotreating of pyrolyzed α-cellulose. The Si/Al ratio of mordenites was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), the acidity was gravimetrically determined using ammonium vapor adsorption, the crystallinity was identified by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and pore characters of mordenites (BHM, BAM0.1, and BAM0.5) were analyzed using Gas Sorption Analyzed (GSA). Catalytic activity and selectivity of the mordenites were evaluated in the hydrotreating of pyrolyzed α-cellulose under 20 mL minute−1 H2 gas flow at 450 °C for 2 h with the weight ratio of catalyst:feed was 1:60. The liquid products were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC–MS). The acidity of mordenites decreased along with the increase of Si/Al rasio, except for the AM0.1 mordenite. The average pore diameter of BHM, BAM0.1 and BAM0.5 was 2.96; 3.34 and 4.53 nm, respectively. The BAM0.1 showed the highest catalytic activity in producing liquid fraction (64.04 wt%). The BAM0.5 showed the highest catalytic selectivity towards biofuels, i.e. 1-pentene 0.44 (wt%); 2-heptyne 2.75 (wt%) and 1-propanol 3.05 (wt%) from the hydrotreating process of pyrolyzed α-cellulose.

Interpore Distance

Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) membrane has been successfully fabricated from two-step anodization with aluminum low grade (Al6061). The pore density, the pore diameter, and the interpore distance can be controlled by varying anodization process conditions. However, there are limits to control the mechanical strength and growth of AAO arrays, such as pore density, pore diameter and interpore distance. In this research the self-organized two-step anodization is carried out varying time at 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively with 40V at the low temperature 2-5°C. The optimum conditions of AAO with two-step anodization is 40V for 48 hr. Finally, AAO substrate is separated from aluminum low-grade and enlarged pore diameter with pore widening process by 5% H3PO4. The physical properties were investigated by mean of field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) show that the average pore diameter and average interpore distance increase with the anodization time. Al6061 Aluminum substrate can be used to fabricate a nanoporous AAO film with an average pore diameter and average interpore distance larger than 70 and 90 nanometers, respectively but less mechanical stability.
