Ordered mesoporous SBA-15 analogs with different Si/Al ratios were successfully prepared in a two-step process from self-assembly of ZSM-5 nanoseeds at high temperature in mildly acidic media (473 K, pH 3.5). The obtained products were characterized as SAXS, XRD, N₂ sorption, FTIR, TEM, NH₃-TPD, AAS and ICP. The results show that the initial Si/Al molar ratio of ZSM-5 precursors strongly affect...

Since the discovery of mesostructured materials in the early 1990s a great deal of effort has been devoted to developing new structures, compositions, and functionalities. The ability to synthesize semiconducting singleor multicomponent metal-oxide mesostructured materials with controlled morphologies has been a major step towards functional materials with potential applications in sensing, cat...

Microporous activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were developed for CO₂ capture based on potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) amination. The material properties of the modified ACFs were characterized using several techniques. The adsorption breakthrough curves of CO₂ were measured and the effect of relative humidity in the carrier gas was determined. The KOH activat...

In this paper, we bring forward an effective strategy, solvothermal postsynthesis, to prepare ordered mesoporous silica materials with highly branched channels. Structural characterizations indicate that the titled mesoporous materials basically have the cubic double gyroidal (space group Ia-3d) structure with small fraction of distortions. The mesopore sizes and surface areas can be up to 8.8 ...

Nanochannels of mesoporous silica materials were previously found useful for reducing the tumbling motion of encapsulated biomolecules while leaving the biomolecular structure undisturbed. Here we show that experiments of cw-ESR distance measurement in nano-confinement can benefit immediately from the above mentioned features of sufficiently slow molecular tumbling, enabling more accurate deter...

A rapid, effective extraction technique has been established for measuring the gallic acid in rat plasma by using sandwich-structured graphene/mesoporous silica composites with C8-modified interior pore-walls as adsorbent. The unique characteristics of the graphene-silica composites excluded large molecules, like proteins, from the mesopore channels as a result of size exclusion effect, leading...

In recent years, efficient and porous carbon-layer-modified magnetic metal oxides demonstrate potentials for the significant improvement of catalytic adsorption performance. this study, a novel coreshell Fe3O4@mesoporous carbon (Fe3O4@MPC) nanochain electrochemical sensor is constructed by using resorcinol-formaldehyde resin Fe3O4 nanospheres as shell precursor core, respectively, with simple e...

Effective regeneration of powdered activated carbon (PAC) is the key to reduce operating cost PAC in wastewater treatment processes. In this study, volatile acetone and semi-volatile aniline were selected investigate characteristics ultrasonically enhanced low-temperature thermal process. The results showed that efficiency had adsorbed or increased with increase ultrasonic power, optimal value ...

Homogeneity is of utmost importance in some applications light-burnt magnesia (LBM), such as shrinkage compensation cement composites, because if it not detected reliably before application, causes unpredicted expansion and cracking. This paper presents an accelerated method for homogeneity thermal history detection LBM. The proposed provides equation computing the weighted mesopore probability...

supported catalysts synthesized via the interaction of mg(oet)2 with ticl4 in the presence or absence of an internal stereoregulating donor (di-n-butyl phthalate), with different solvents (chlorobenzene, n-undecane, n-heptane) at different titanation temperatures have been studied by a set of physicochemical methods. data on the chemical composition, x-ray structure and pore structure of these ...
