MCM-41 based catalysts (molar ratio Si/Al = 40) were prepared by a hydrothermal route, modified ionic exchange with different metals (Cu, Cr, Fe and Zn) finally calcined at 550 °C. The fully characterized techniques that confirmed the formation of oxides on surfaces all materials. Low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed calcination resulted in incorporation metallic Zn, Cr framework M...

The new rhodium(I) complexes [Rh(Cl)(COD)(R-NHC-(CH2)3Si(O Pr3)3)] (R = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (2a); n-butyl (2b)) have been synthesised and fully characterised. The study of their application as ketone hydrosilylation catalysts showed a clear N-substituent effect, 2a being the most active catalyst precursor. Complex 2a has been immobilised in the mesoporous materials MCM-41 and KIT-6. The new h...

Catalytic distillation is a technology that combines heterogeneous catalytic reaction and the separation of reactants products via in single reactor/distillation system. This process catalysis, kinetics, mass transfer to obtain more selective products. The catalyst provides sites for reactions porous surface liquid/vapor separation. advantages are energy savings, low waste streams, longevity, h...

MCM-41 was used as a support and, by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the liquid phase, a catalyst was prepared by consecutively loading titanium oxide and vanadium oxide to the support. This research analyzes the effect of the loading amount of vanadium oxide on the acidic characteristics and catalytic performance in the dehydration of butanol. The physical and chemical characteristics o...

In this work, the early degradation step of the pyrolysis of some polymers in the presence of certain catalysts has been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Three commercial polymers (PE, PP and EVA) and three catalysts were studied (ZSM-5, MCM-41a, and MCM-41b), and the MCM-41a catalyst has been selected for the analysis of the earlier steps of the pyrolysis process carried out in ...

The thermochemical processing of biomass is an alternative route for the manufacture of fuel-grade ethanol, in which the catalytic conversion of syngas to ethanol is a key step. The search for novel catalyst formulations, active sites and types of support is of current interest. In this work, the catalytic performance of an Rh/MCM-41 catalyst has been evaluated and compared with a typical Rh/Si...

covalent grafting of the nanoporous molecular sieve mcm-41 with 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane and acetyl acetone (acac) successively gave modified mcm-41 (acacampmcm-41). reaction of the resulted material with glycine afforded the corresponding supported glycine schiff base ligand and subsequent reaction with [bis(acetylacetonato)dioxomolybdenum(vi)] was lead to molybdenum complex supported on...

The plasma-catalytic oxidation of soot was studied over zeolite-supported vanadium catalysts, while four types zeolites (MCM-41, mordenite, USY and 5A) were used as catalyst supports. rate followed the order V/MCM-41 > V/mordenite V/USY V/5A, 100% achieved at 54th min reaction V/mordenite. CO2 selectivity process follows opposite V/M catalyst. A wide range characterizations including N2 adso...
