Carbon materials with developed porosity are usually used as supports for platinum catalysts. Physico-chemical characteristics of the support influence the properties of platinum deposited and its catalytic activity. In our studies, we deposited platinum on carbon fibrous like materials obtained from platanus seeds - achenes. The precursor was chemically activated with different reagents: NaOH, pyrogallol, and H2O2, before the carbonization process. Platinum was deposited on all substrates to study the influence of the substrate properties on the activity of the catalyst. Carbon materials were characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms measurements, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. It was noticed that the adsorption characteristics of carbon support affected the structure of platinum deposits and thus their activity.

In this study catalysts Fe/SBA-15 were prepared for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. SBA-15 samples were synthesized under acidic conditions using triblock copolymer Pluronic as a template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica source.The molar composition was: 1.0 TEOS: 0017 P123: 8.14 HCl: 168 H2O. Fe/SBA-15 catalysts with different iron loading (15 wt. % and 20 wt. %) were prepared by wetness impregnation of relative SBA-15 with the desired amount of aqueous iron nitrate. The obtained catalyst were characterized by X ray diffraction (XDR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). After impregnation of Fe the XRD profiles were almost unchanged and exhibited the high diffraction peaks of SBA-15 at low angles. The analysis of nitrogen adsorption-desorption was observed that the values of specific surface area decreased as the concentration of metal impregnated increased. And by the EDX analysis verified that the iron contents obtained are close to nominal levels of iron.

Catalysts supported on SBA-15 were obtained by wet impregnation using aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate, where different contents of cobalt (5 wt% and 10 wt%) were prepared. The molecular sieve SBA-15 was synthesized using tetra ethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) as silicate source, and triblock copolymer, poly-(ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide)-poly-(ethylene oxide) PEO-PPO-PEO as the organic structure directing agent. These materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray energy dispersion spectrophotometer (EDX) and Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET). The results from the XRD showed that the molecular sieve mesoporous (SBA-15) was identified by X-ray diffraction, especially from the (210) and (300) peaks, which represent a typical spectrum for the SBA-15. Characterization of catalysts by Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) made it possible to verify the the samples had been of type IV with hysteresis of corresponding the H2 type the porous materials.

Palladium nanoparticles with controlled size were synthesized within the pores of the mesoporous SBA-15 and SBA-16 silicas with grafted silicon hydride groups. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption method, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used for characterization of palladium-containing composites. Results of material study clearly revealed that Pd nanoparticles prepared by this method were located inside the porous channels and were quite uniform in size (mostly 5–6 nm). The influence of metal content on the particles size and porous structure of supports was investigated.

. Al-pillared rectorites (Al-REC) were synthesized from natural calcium rectorite through the exchange of inter-lamellar ions with hydroxyalumina polycations. Furthermore, the morphology, composite structure and pore properties of such composite materials were investigated by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transformation Infra-red Spectra (FTIR) and Nitrogen Adsorption-Desorption Isotherms. The products retain their layered structure and their pore structures are a slit-shaped pore between plate-like particles. The resultant products possess BJH pore volume as large as 0.04cm3g-1, high BET specific surface area of over 100m2g-1, narrow pore size distribution in the mesopore region of 7-9nm after thermal treatment at 300 °C.

ABSTRACTA raw clay from Uruguay was modified with aluminium to obtain an aluminium pillared clay (Al-PILC). The solids were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The Al-PILC retained the typical laminar structure of montmorillonite. The specific surface area and the microporous volume of the Al-PILC, 235 m2 g-1 and 0.096 cm3 g-1, respectively, were much higher than those of the clay. The phosphate adsorption capacity of the Al-PILC was higher than those of the clay. The phosphate adsorption kinetic followed the pseudo-first-order model for both, the clay and the Al-PILC, and the phosphate adsorption isotherm for the Al-PILC fit the Freundlich model.

CuO–Al2O3 catalysts containing various amounts of copper oxide have been prepared by precipitation. The phase changes were studied by X-ray diffraction. The results obtained revealed that the thermal treatment of solid CuO–Al2O3 at 700 °C produced only crystalline CuO. Heating to 900 °C led to the formation of copper alumina spinel together with unreacted CuO and γ-Al2O3. The spinel content was found to increase with increasing copper content. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms on the calcined samples have been measured. Surface areas have been calculated and the pore structure analysed. The textural properties of the system were found to depend on both the copper content and the calcination temperature. Key words: CuO, Al2O3 catalysts, structure, surface area, pore structure.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of lanthanum-modified alumina supported cerium–manganese mixed oxides, which were prepared by three different methods (coprecipitation, impregnation and citrate-based sol-gel method) followed by calcination at 500 °C. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized materials were investigated by various characterization techniques, namely: nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and H2–temperature programmed reduction (TPR). This experimental study demonstrated that the role of the catalytic surface is much more important than the bulk one. Indeed, the incipient impregnation of CeO2–MnOx catalyst, supported on an optimized amount of 4 wt.% La2O3–Al2O3, provided the best results of the catalytic combustion of methane on our catalytic micro-convertors. This is mainly due to: (i) the highest pore size dimensions according to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) investigations, (ii) the highest amount of Mn4+ or/and Ce4+ on the surface as revealed by XPS, (iii) the presence of a mixed phase (Ce2MnO6) as shown by X-ray diffraction; and (iv) a higher reducibility of Mn4+ or/and Ce4+ species as displayed by H2–TPR and therefore more reactive oxygen species.

Natural zeolite of Shivirtui deposit (Russia) was modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide AlOOH. Aluminum oxyhydroxide nanofibers were produced at the heating and oxidation of aluminum powder with water. The properties of modified zeolite were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that water content in the modified sample of zeolite was about 15 %. Based on the study of the physical and chemical properties, shivirtui zeolite modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide can be proposed for use as a flame-retardant additive to polymers.

Natural zeolites combined with the magnetic iron oxides are prepared by a chemical coprecipitation process. A detailed characterization of our magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) is given, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results reveal that in comparison with Na-zeolite, the structure of MMZ has no obvious change but its surface area increases from 25.13 m2g-1to 100.90 m2g-1. The adsorption properties of MMZ to Pb2+and Cu2+were studied. The results show that the maximum loading capacities for Pb2+and Cu2+in the initial concentration range are 123.74 and 14.633 mg g-1, respectively. The MMZ can be used as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from industrial effluents or municipal waters, and the saturated adsorbent is separated from the medium by a simple magnetic process.
