A new mesoporous Zn1-xMxAl2O4 photocatalyst was prepared using the metal-chitosan complexation method with different degrees of Zn2+ cation substitution with cobalt and nickel ions (M = Co2+ and Ni2+). Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared absorption spectrometry (FTIR), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), diffuse reflectance spectrometry (DRS), scanning electron miscoscopy (SEM), transmission electron miscroscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption- desorption isotherms using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) confirmed the formation of the spinel phase and high purity for all samples. N2 adsorption/desorption and size pore distribution confirmed the high surface area. The photocatalytic activity of Zn1-xMxAl2O4 and the effect of replacing Zn2+ ions with Ni2+ and Co2+ on the degradation of rhodamine B under ultraviolet light were studied in detail. The sample containing 0.1 mol of cobalt had the highest removal rate reaching 83%, favored by surface area and material bandgap (109 m2 g−1 and 2.19 eV, respectively).

Abstract Mesoporous materials are promising structures for application in catalysis and adsorption due to high surface area and large pore size. Mesoporous materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method with novel surfactants, distinct from those observed in the literature, in order to carry out a study of its structure and to obtain materials with better textural properties. The structures synthesized with the surfactants Igepal CO630 and Brij O20 presented the best results of specific surface area, 1074 and 1075 m2.g-1, respectively. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, TG/DTG, N2 adsorption-desorption, and FTIR techniques. XRD patterns indicated that the highly ordered mesoporous silica structures, such as MCM-41 and MCM-48, using CTMABr as the structure-directing agent and the SBA-15, SBA-16 and other SBA structures using different block copolymers were obtained. Through N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, it was observed type IV isotherms, attributed to mesoporous materials. The FTIR spectra presented similar behaviors with characteristic vibrational bands of MCM and SBA type materials.

Adsorption Desorption

Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) as adsorbent was no longer new in CO2 adsorption studies. However, its contributions in the industry still in limited wherein lack of convincing results of quantifying of adsorbed CO2. This work presents an analysis for α-Fe2O3 was prepared by simple mixing method with identified the adsorption capacity that applied in CO2 capture. The synthesized α-Fe2O3 from different concentrations of precursor were analyzed using XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms with BET and BJH method, TEM, FTIR, CO2 adsorption at 298 K, CO2-TPD and TGA-DTG. It was noted that 2M concentration of precursor (s2M) with highest crystallite peaks shows highest surface area among all samples which indicative of well generated pores. The different concentration of precursor was found generated more porosity rather than particle size according to TEM micrograph. The sphere shape crystallite particle with high surface area (50.5 m2/g) and porosity were desirable properties in CO2 adsorption. Consequently, physically adsorbed CO2 with adsorption at 298 K was highest with adsorption capacity of at 17.0 mgCO2/gadsorbent. Finally, chemically adsorbed CO2 was successfully identified from CO2–TPD analysis with adsorption capacity of 0.19 mgCO2/gadsorbent and 1.31 mgCO2/gadsorbent at maximum desorption temperature of 375 °C and 749 °C respectively.

A facile method has been developed to synthesis hierarchical nickel oxide with spherical particle morphologies, high surface area of 234 m2/g and narrow pore distribution at 3.25 nm by controlled thermal decomposition of the nickel nitrate hydroxide precursors. The as-obtained products were well characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM (HRTEM), SAED, FTIR and N2 adsorption-desorption measurement. It was shown that the hierarchical NiO microsphere with the diameter about 2.0 μm is composed of hexagonal nanoparticles with mesoporous structure. The prepared mesoporous materials were used as an adsorbent to remove the Congo red pollutant contained in the waste water, and they exhibited more favorable adsorptive properties than the mesoporous alumina powders with same surface area due to its special structural features.

Recent years mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have become important biomaterials because of their high surface area and the superior bioactivity. Various studies have reported that when MBGs implanted in a human body, hydroxyl apatite layers, constituting the main inorganic components of human bones, will form on the MBG surfaces to increase the bioactivity. Therefore, MBGs have been widely applied in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The sol-gel process has replaced the conventional glasses process for MBG synthesis because of the advantages of low contamination, chemical flexibility and lower calcination temperature. In the sol-gel process, several types of surfactants were mixed with MBG precursor solutions to generate micelle structures. Afterwards, these micelles decompose to form porous structures after calcination. Although calcination is significant for contamination, crystalline and surface area in MBG, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, only few systematic studies related to calcination were reported. This study correlated the calcination parameters and the microstructure of MBGs. Microstructure evaluation was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The experimental results show that the surface area and the pore size of MBGs decreased with the increasing of the calcination temperature, and decreased dramatically at 800°C due to the formation of crystalline phases.

Magnetic Activated Carbon

Magnetic coal-based activated carbon was prepared from Taixi anthracitic coal in the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4). The magnetic activated carbon samples were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, FTIR and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was found that the magnetic activated carbon had a high surface area of 993.5 m2/g with 4% Fe3O4 and a saturation magnetization of 2.4158 emu/g for magnetic separability. The results showed that the magnetic properties of MAC are provided by Fe3O4 and Fe. In the presence of Fe3O4, the rate of carbonization and activation increase to form a large surface area and a high pore volume. Moreover, the addition of Fe3O4 can greatly promote the number of both micro-pores and meso-pores in activated carbon.

The binary mesoporous spinel oxides with high surface area have been synthesized by using KIT-6 and SBA-15 as hard templates and hydrated nitrated salts as precursors. Low temperature such as 500 °C is suitable for preparation of NiCo2O4with spinel phase. High temperature such as 800 °C is necessary for preparation of NiMn2O4, MnCo2O4, and (Co0.5Mn0.5)3O4with pure spinel phase. The prepared mesoporous spinel shows high surface area as 43-105 m2/g with pore volume as0.095-0.233 cm3/g. It is preferred to form mesoporous NiCo2O4with spherical particles.

Abstract In the present study, high surface area amorphous magnesia was synthesized using walnut shell as a template. This green, simple and useful synthetic protocol was based on the precipitation of magnesium nitrate on biomass in an aqueous phase, followed by calcination. Materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption/desorption porosimetry, and the results exhibited high surface area for magnesium oxide. Furthermore, the pore size and surface area of these mesoporous materials can be adjusted by varying the biomass/magnesium nitrate ratio. In addition, magnesium oxide was studied as the support of palladium nanoparticles for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. We have found out that the resulting Pd-loaded material acts as an effective catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols. The catalyst can be recovered and reused three times without loss of activity. Also, to test the catalytic activity of magnesium oxides as a solid catalyst, we selected Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of cyclohexanone with 2-propanol over different magnesium oxides.
