Microporous ZSM-5, hierarchical and ZSM-11 zeolites with different crystalline sizes were prepared to determine the relations of mesoporosity catalytic performance in methanol-to-propene reaction. The physicochemical properties investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Temperature-Programmed Desorption, sorption techniques. It was ...

A new rapid, very simple and one-step sol-gel strategy for the large-scale preparation of highly porous γ-Al₂O₃ is presented. The resulting mesoporous alumina materials feature high surface areas (400 m² g-1), large pore volumes (0.8 mL g-1) and the γ-Al₂O₃ phase is obtained at low temperature (500 °C). The main advantages and drawbacks of different preparations of mesoporous alumina materials ...

Iron doped hexagonal mesoporous silica (Fe-HMS) was successfully prepared by one-pot direct synthesis at ambient temperature by using dodecylamine as a templating agent. The catalyst has been characterized by various techniques including XRD, DR-UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM and N2 adsorption. The obtained material exhibits very large surface area (above 1000 m(2) g(-1)), mesoporosity with narrow distribut...

Forestry waste (eucalyptus sp) was converted into activated carbon by initial flash pyrolysis followed carbonization and CO2 activation. These residues were obtained from a pilot plant in Spain that produces biofuel, the biochar represented 10-15% in weight. It was observed that the highest activation was achieved at a temperature of 800 °C, the specific surface increased with time but, on the ...
