The oxidation of naphthalene by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor has been performed using diverse immobilization strategies on mesostructured silica materials. Laccase was immobilized by physical adsorption on several SBA-15 with different textural properties and by covalent attachment on functionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation method (direct synthesis). The adsorption of ...

The infiltration of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) into the channels of SBA-15 was conveniently achieved via an incipient wetness procedure employing a tetraglyme solution. Electron tomography demonstrated that PdNPs were outgrown preferentially from the channels. The resultant Pd/SBA-15 showed high performance in the dehydrogenation kinetics of ammonia borane.

Au nanoparticles with small sizes (2-3 nm) were effectively stabilized in the mesopores of (S)-(-)-2-pyrrolidinone-5-carboxylic acid-modified SBA-15, which showed superior catalytic properties in aerobic oxidation of alcohols, compared with pyrrolidone-free SBA-15 supported Au catalysts.

In this study, the mesoporous silica SBA-15 materials containing carboxylic acid groups were used as an effective support to synthesize Cu nanoparticles. Various Cu loading levels from 4% to 13% on SBA-15 catalysts produced an average particle size of 2.8 to 3.1 nm, regardless of the Cu content.

A carrier system based on nanoporous silica (SBA-15) with magnetic nanoparticles of CoFe2O4 was synthesized via the impregnation of cobalt salt, iron salt and citric acid with as-synthesized SBA-15. The obtained samples were characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), N2 adsorption/desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and ultraviolet (UV)...

Mesoporous photocatalysts of CeO2/SBA-15 are prepared by two methods of direct synthesis as solvent-usage and solvent-free methods. In solvent-usage method, CeO2/SBA-15 is synthesized in acidic media. While, in solvent-free method, CeO2/SBA-15, has been prepared through the novel path of directly grind cerium salt into the as-prepared samples of SBA-15 occluded ...

Both the performance and regenerability of SO2 adsorbents made CuO supported on SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica were studied for a cyclic DeSOx process under wet dry conditions. H2O vapor decreases 16 wt% loading CuO/SBA-15 (16CuO/SBA-15) adsorbent along adsorption/regeneration cycles performed at 400 °C. Indeed, breakthrough adsorption capacity this after ten adsorption- regeneration conditio...

The effect of aluminium content (x = 5, 20 and 40 wt %) in SBA-15 type silica supports used to obtain Pd/xAl-SBA-15 catalysts was evaluated the HDO reaction m-cresol at 300 °C, under atmospheric high (30 bar) pressure. Aluminium incorporation performed using two-step pH-adjustment method, affording deposition Al phases over previously precipitated. Pd thereafter deposed incipient wetness impreg...
