Abstract
Herein we report on the design of hierarchical zeolite supraparticles from hydrothermally-derived 100 nm TS-1 zeolite nanoparticles (NPs) by means of spray-drying. These supraparticles, with a large surface area (up to 678 m2/g), possess a biporous structure that is composed of zeolitic micropores (0.9–1.1 nm) and secondary mesopores. Depending on the synthesis conditions, it is possible to prepare supraparticles, formed by separate NPs and wide (50 nm) interparticular pores or by zeolitic NPs, tightly glued together by amorphous mesoporous titanosilicate. According to the UV–vis spectrometry data and FTIR studies of adsorbed pyridine, the active sites of “separated” supraparticles are presented mainly by Lewis sites associated with [TiO4] species isolated in the zeolite matrix, while “glued” supraparticles possess a significant fraction of [TiO5] and [TiO6] species.
The supraparticles demonstrate sufficiently high catalytic activity in the industrially valuable two-stage synthesis of cyclic carbonate (4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one) from styrene and carbon dioxide, in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant and tetrabutylammonium iodide as a co-catalyst. We found that the selectivity to the target cyclic carbonate increased with an external specific surface area growth, probably due to the facilitated withdrawal of reaction products from the zeolite pores.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
