چکیده

Single-unit-cell Sn-MFI, with the detectable Sn uniformly distributed and exclusively located at framework sites, is reported for the first time. The direct, single-step, synthesis is based on repetitive branching caused by rotational intergrowths of single-unit-cell lamellae. The self-pillared, meso- and microporous zeolite is an active and selective catalyst for sugar isomerization. High yields for the conversion of glucose into fructose and lactose to lactulose are demonstrated.

Nucleation, Growth, and Robust Synthesis of SPP Zeolite: Effect of Ethanol, Sodium, and Potassium

Self-pillared pentasil (SPP) zeolite is a hierarchically-structured zeolite comprised of single-unit cell thick MFI nanosheets arranged in a ‘‘house of cards’’ structure. The nucleation and growth of SPP proceeds through three phases involving the evolution of precursor amorphous nanoparticles to MFI nanosheets and then rotational intergrowth of sheets to produce the SPP morphology. This paper ...

Crystallographic Structure Determination of MFI-Zeolite Nanosheets

Ultrathin MFI-zeolite nanosheets can be packed on porous supports to create molecular sieve membranes. The nanosheets on porous support reduce morphological damage seen in regular MFIzeolite crystals [1]. MFI-zeolite belongs to pentasil family of zeolites where the periodic building unit (PerBU) is composed of 12 interconnected SiO4 tetrahedral (T12) units of 41m2 (D2d) symmetry [2]. Rotation o...

Synthesis and characterization of MFI zeolite nanosheets for optimizing the dominant operational conditions of methanol to propylene process

Nanosheets of MFI zeolite were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method and were properly characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX-dot mapping, TEM, FT-IR, N2 adsorption/desorption, NH3-TPD, ICP-AES and TGA techniques. The characterizations of MFI zeolite nanosheets suitably confirmed well synthesized MFI nanostructure, superior specific surface area (695.96m2.g-1) and great mesopores volume. C...

Competitive Adsorption of Substrate and Solvent in Sn‐Beta Zeolite During Sugar Isomerization

The isomerization of 1,3-dihydroxyactone and d-glucose over Sn-Beta zeolite was investigated by in situ 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The conversion rate at room temperature is higher when the zeolite is dehydrated before exposure to the aqueous sugar solution. Mass transfer limitations in the zeolite micropores were excluded by comparing Sn-Beta samples with different crystal sizes. Periodic density ...

Effects of the Framework and Mesoporosity on the Catalytic Activity of Hierarchical Zeolite Catalysts in Benzyl Alcohol Conversion

Zeolites are crystalline inorganic porous materials formed by TO4 tetrahedra (T=Si, Al, P, etc.) with ordered microporous structures. As a result of their tunable acidities and framework structures, zeolites have been used widely in catalysis and molecular adsorption/separation as well as several other emerging applications. However, the pore size of a zeolite is usually smaller than 2 nm, whic...
