In this study Fe2O3/SBA-15 catalyst was synthesized via direct synthesis method under acidic conditions using triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as template, tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica source and Fe (NO3)3∙9H2O as iron source. Template was removed using extraction and calcination. The obtained catalyst was characterized using XRD analysis, WDXRF spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis and STEM–EDX measurements. Results of catalyst characterization showed that the synthesized Fe2O3/SBA-15 is mesoporous silica with 2D p6mm hexagonal mesostructure loaded with 15.6 wt.% Fe2O3. Average pore size was 6.95 nm, homogeneous immobilized Fe2O3 nanoparticles do not disrupt the porous hexagonal structure of the support.

AbstractIn this study mesoporous SBA-15 was synthesized under acidic conditions using triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica source. SBA-15 was modified by different iron loading (1.8 %, 5 % and 10 %) via post-synthesis impregnation with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. The obtained catalysts were characterized using XRD analysis, WDXRF spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. Pyrolysis of cellulose with and without the catalyst was investigated using TG-FTIR. It was found that the presence of the synthesized catalysts affects formation of solid residue and significantly alters the composition of the other pyrolysis products. All catalysts considerably reduced the fraction of compounds containing hydroxyl group. Fe (10 %)/SBA-15 exhibited the highest deoxygenation ability. SBA-15 showed the highest catalytic selectivity for synthesis of olefins, while Fe (1.8 %)/SBA-15 showed the highest catalytic selectivity for synthesis of aromatic hydrocarbons.

In this work, the mesoporous material Al-B-SBA-15 has been obtained by direct synthesis method with Si : B : Al ratio of 10 : 0.5 : 0.5. Wetness impregnation (WI) method was used to load platinum on Al-B-SBA-15. The prepared support and catalyst were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement (BET), XRD, TEM, and TPD-NH3 to investigate the influence of aluminium and boron on characteristics of the catalyst. The activity of the bifunctional catalyst was tested for hydrogenation of tetralin at 180–220 °C, hydrogen pressure of 1.5–2.5 MPa for 3 h.

Magnesium silicate (MS) was successfully prepared and the physico-chemical properties were determined by N2adsorption/desorption isotherm and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Surface area and the average pore size were 120 cm3·g-1and 10 nm. Adsorption experiments of removal of nickel and cobalt ions were investigated as the function of initial concentration, adsorbent dose, adsorption time and solution pH value. The maximum removal was reached with pH equal to 5 for the removal of nickel and cobalt ions. Adsorption process was rapid and adsorption equilibriums were attained in a short time.

Polysulfones are hydrophobic which can reduce membrane permeability. Permeability can be increased through the application of hydrophilic materials such as GO-Fe3O4 to the polysulfone membrane so that the membrane is hydrophilic. The riset purpose to determine the effect of the percentage weight of different material compositions on the hydrophilicity properties of the polysulfone membrane. Membrane fabrication is carried out using the phase inversion method where the polymer solution is molded in a place and immersed in a coagulation bath containing non-solvent. This solvent exchange causes the polymer to form a solid matrix and become a membrane. The results showed that GO particles were successfully doped with Fe3O4 material shown by XRD analysis at a peak of 35.61˚ with a magnetite phase, while FTIR analysis showed that there was an absorption band characteristic of Fe-O streching vibrations. The results of the contact angle test on the GO-Fe3O4/PSF membrane 0.75 wt per cent were around 73.17˚ which showed the smallest hydrophobic value and the membrane surface morphology had an average pore size of 333.61 nm so that the addition of GO-Fe3O4 composites could increase membrane hydrophilicity.

This study reports the recovery of Pd(II) from acid solution by a polyethylenimine (PEI)-crosslinked chitin (PEI-chitin) biosorbent. FE-SEM analysis demonstrated that there are many slot-like pores on PEI-chitin. The N2 adsorption–desorption experiment revealed that the average pore size was 47.12 nm. Elemental analysis verified the successful crosslinking of PEI with raw chitin. The Langmuir model better explained the isotherm experimental data and the theoretical maximum Pd(II) uptake was 57.1 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic data were better described by the pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 30 min for all initial Pd(II) concentrations of 50–200 mg/L. In the fixed-bed column, the adsorption of Pd(II) on PEI-chitin showed a slow breakthrough and a fast saturation performance. The desorption experiments achieved a concentration factor of 8.4 ± 0.4; in addition, the adsorption–desorption cycles in the fixed-bed column were performed up to three times, consequently confirming the good reusability of PEI-chitin for Pd(II) recovery. Therefore, the PEI-chitin can be used as a promising biosorbent for the recovery of Pd(II) in practical applications.

Monodisperse mesoporous silica microspheres (MSM-SF) were successfully prepared through PICA and pseudomorphic transformation using silica fume as original silica source. The structure and morphology of spheres were quantitatively investigated by Zata potential and particle size analyzer, N2 sorption isotherms, XRD, SEM and TEM. The results showed that the monodisperse spherical mesoporous silica microspheres (MSM-SF) exhibited uniform spherical morphology, worm-like mesoporous, large BET surface area of 559.9m2/g; its BJH average pore size diameter and total pore volume are 3.3nm and 0.12cm3/g, respectively. This preparation method provides a new synthetic strategy to control the particle morphology and structure simultaneously, meanwhile this method can also significantly reduce the cost of synthesis of mesoporous silica microspheres.

Abstract In this research, a simple oxidation chemical process was applied for the synthesis of novel PANI@ZnO nanocomposite. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by XPS, XRD, FTIR, SEM, TGA and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Thereby, PANI@ZnO highest SBET values (about 40.84 m2.g− 1), total mesoporous volume (about 3.214 cm3.g− 1) and average pore size (about 46.12 nm). Afterwards, the prepared nanomaterial was applied as novel nanoadsorbent for the adsorption of Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes from aqueous solutions at 298 K and pH 5.0. Besides, the pseudo-second-order model was obtained the best for the adsorption of both dyes. In the case of isotherm models, the Freundlich model showed the best fit. After removal, the spent adsorbent was regenerated. With the regeneration repeated five cycles, the PANI@ZnO regeneration efficiency remained at a very adequate level.

The potential use of kaolin as silica and alumina precursor for the synthesis of zeolite NaX was investigated in this study. The synthesis involved three steps of reactions; the preparation of seed gel, the formation of feedstock gel using kaolin and the combination of overall gel followed by hydrothermal treatment at 105°C for 12 hours. Analysis using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) method indicated the transformation of kaolin into pure phase zeolite NaX with a small amount of kaolin was still visible. Detail microscopic analysis showed the morphology of zeolite X consisted of octahedral particles with a crystallite diameter of 20-30 µm. Analysis of surface acidity using pyridine as probe molecule indicated the zeolite X has high Brǿnsted acidity with 0.181 mmol/g of acid sites, significantly higher than Lewis acidity ~0.053 mmol/g. The N2 adsorption-desorption measurement indicated a type IV material with both microporous and mesoporous structures with an average pore size of 1.47 nm for micropore and 3.41 nm for mesoporous.
