Novel non-hydrolytic templated sol–gel synthesis of mesoporous aluminosilicates and their use as aminolysis catalysts

Sulphonated mesoporous silica-carbon composites and their use as solid acid catalysts

The synthesis of highly functionalized porous silica-carbon composites made up of sulphonic groups attached to a carbon layer coating the pores of three types of mesostructured silica (i.e. SBA-15, KIT-6 and mesocellular silica) is presented. The synthesis procedure involves the following steps: a) removal of the surfactant, b) impregnation of the silica pores with a carbon precursor, c) carbon...

Templated Growth of Three-Dimensionally Ordered Mesoporous (3DOm) Zirconia Materials as Tunable Catalysts for Biomass Conversion

Biomass offers a renewable carbon source that could be utilized as a raw material in the chemicals industry. A potential route for the conversion of biomass feedstock’s into industrial chemicals is through the catalytic conversion of biomass sugars (glucose) to furan based compounds through an aqueous reforming process. However, to accommodate the transport of these bulky sugars within the cata...

Synthesis of new organolanthanide complexes and their use as novel catalysts for polymerization and copolymerization of olefins

The replacement of one of the two C5Me5 ligands in the samarocene(II) complex (C5Me5)2Sm(thf)2 with a monodentate anionic ligand such as OAr, SAr, NR1R2, or CH(SiMe3)2 gave a unique catalytic system, which can not only polymerize styrene and ethylene, but also copolymerize them into block styrene–ethylene copolymers under the presence of both monomers. On the other hand, the addition of an appr...
