A series of catalysts based on hybrid intergrowth structure zeolites MFI-MEL, MFI-MTW, and MFI-MCM-41 are studied in the reaction olefins synthesis from dimethyl ether at atmospheric pressure a temperature 340 °C. The total acidity zeolite-based is shown to correlate with their activity. However, use zeolite MFI-MCM-41, which characterized by high content medium acid sites, additionally catalyz...

The influence of the chemical composition and silylation of mesoporous MCM-41 materials on the photochromic behaviour of adsorbed spiropyran (BIPS) and 6-nitrospiropyran was studied. Upon incorporation, the spiropyrans underwent ring opening to form either zwitterionic merocyanine or its corresponding O-protonated form. In all silica MCM-41 or in the MCM-41 containing aluminium, the O-protonate...

Molybdenum and zirconium mixed oxides were supported on siliceous MCM-41 mesoporous material. The resultant materials were characterized with various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), XANES, NH3-TPD, and Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (DRIFTS) of pyridine. It was found that the well-ordered channeling...

Tandem catalysis for the hydrogenation rearrangement of furfural (FA) provides an attractive solution manufacturing cyclopentanone (CPO) from renewable biomass resources. The CuNi/Al-MCM-41 catalyst was synthesized and afforded excellent catalytic performance with 99.0% conversion 97.7% selectivity to CPO in a near-neutral under 2.0 MPa H2 at 160 °C 5 h, much higher than those on other molecula...

Heterogeneous catalysis and their application in industrial-scale organic synthesis of fine chemicals are greatly facilitated by catalysis and further on by catalyst recovery and recycles to fits most “principles of green chemistry. In acid media, terpenoids generally undergoes various transformations. The terpenoid transformations include various liquid Bronsted and Lewis Acids, Acid clays, He...
