Application of hollow silica spheres with radially oriented mesopores to microreactors for two-phase reactions heated by microwave irradiation
Hollow silica spheres with radially oriented mesopores were used as microreactors for the two-phase reaction of the aldol condensation of butanal. The hollow spheres filled with 2 M sulfuric acid as a catalyst, which served as an aqueous phase, were added to the heptane solution of butanal, which served as an organic phase, and the mixture was heated at 95ºC. The reaction rate was higher than that of the emulsive two-phase reaction without the use of the hollow spheres because the droplets in the emulsion were larger than the hollow spheres. When microwave heating was used, the reaction rate increased compared with that when conventional heating was applied at the same temperature of the reaction mixture. Only the aqueous phase in the hollow spheres, where the reaction proceeded, was selectively heated by microwave irradiation because water effectively absorbs microwaves, whereas heptane cannot.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
