Abstract
The effect of post-treatment of TS-1 zeolite by tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution under hydrothermal condition was studied in this work. The characterizations of structure, morphology and composition demonstrated that an open and hierarchical porous structure was generated in TS-1 zeolite after the post-treatment. With increasing the alkalinity of TPAOH solution, the hierarchical porosity and hydrophobicity increased and the framework Ti content decreased in the post-treated TS-1 zeolite. Both the pristine and post-treated TS-1 zeolites were employed as the catalysts for the reaction of phenol hydroxylation. It was found that the post-treated TS-1 zeolite possessed a higher catalytic performance than the pristine TS-1 zeolite. The larger the alkalinity of the post-treatment solution was, the higher the catalytic performance of the post-treated TS-1 zeolite was; however, a too high alkalinity of the post-treatment solution also led to the decline in the catalytic performance. This could be a result of the combined influences of the hierarchical porosity, hydrophobicity and framework Ti content on the catalytic performance. The higher levels of hierarchical porosity and hydrophobicity promoted but the lower level of framework Ti content inhibited the catalytic performance of TS-1 zeolite. Accordingly, the controlling to the alkalinity of TPAOH solution for the post-treatment was very important in respect of the catalytic performance of TS-1 zeolite.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
