Manganese (?) complex with 2, 2? bipyridine, 1, 1? dioxide (bpdo) ligand was immobilized within nanoreactors of MCM-41. The immobilized complex was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption desorption, and FTIR. The pore volume, surface area and pore diameter of MCM-41 decreased after immobilization of Mn complex. Three bands observed at 1250, 1220 cm?1 and 757 cm?1 a...

Catalytic distillation is a technology that combines heterogeneous catalytic reaction and the separation of reactants products via in single reactor/distillation system. This process catalysis, kinetics, mass transfer to obtain more selective products. The catalyst provides sites for reactions porous surface liquid/vapor separation. advantages are energy savings, low waste streams, longevity, h...

Fe3+-immobilized mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 with particle size of ca. 600 nm and pore size of ca. 3 nm is synthesized and applied to selectively trap and separate phosphopeptides from tryptic digest of proteins. For the capture of phosphopeptides, typically 10 microL of tryptic digest solution was first diluted to 1 mL by solution of ACN/0.1% TFA (50:50, v/v) and incubated with 10 micro...

This study employed microwave-assisted hydrothermal method to synthesize Ti-MCM-41, which are mesoporous materials with a high surface area and excellent photocatalytic ability. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were employed. The X...

Composites of hydroxyapatite (HaP) and highly ordered large pore mesoporous silica molecular sieves such as, Al-SBA-15 and Al-MCM-41 (denoted as SBA-15 and MCM-41, respectively) were developed, characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR, HRTEM and NMR-MAS, and applied to fluoride retention from contaminated water. The proposed procedure by a new route to prepare the HaP/SBA-15 and HaP/MCM-41, composites g...
