Reported here are new data on the structural and catalytic properties of a series mono-component cobalt bi-component Co–Ce catalysts supported SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous-15)). The performance has been evaluated by tests combustion methane, propane, n-hexane. It was established that preparation ‘two-solvent’ technique does not significantly change mesoporous structure, however, its pores cl...

Tuning the morphological and acidic properties of mesoporous molecular sieve materials is highly valuable for catalyst design towards reactions involving large molecules. In this work, a series Ga-containing SBA-15 ordered (OMMs) were synthesized following acid-free strategy. Ga-SBA-15 exhibits an acid amount 0.48 mmol/g, comparable to Al-SBA-15 (0.45 mmol/g). addition, it found that straight s...

Amino-modified mesoporous silica (SBA-15-NH2) was prepared by hydrothermal method, which is a kind of excellent carrier for enzyme immobilization. The structure SBA-15 characterized SEM and FTIR, proved that amino group successfully attached to the surface SBA-15. had good nitrogen adsorption desorption test. Using SBA-15-NH2 as carrier, optimal conditions laccase immobilization two different c...

BACKGROUND Removal of mercury from aqueous environment has been highly regarded in recent years and different methods have been tested for this purpose. One of the most effective ways for mercury ions (Hg(+2)) removal is the use of modified nano porous compounds. Hence, in this work a new physical modification of mesoporous silica (SBA-15) with 1, 3, 5 (Trithiane) as modifier ligand and its app...

In this work, adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to remove the acid blue 62 off the aqueous solutions using mesoporous silicate SBA-15 loaded with tannic acid (tannin-SBA-15). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption test (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis characterize synthesized composite. The impacts of some parameters such as P...

TiO2@SBA-15 mesoporous nanocomposite are of increasing interest as materials for photocatalytic applications. We report here an investigation on the characteristics of TiO2@SBA-15 prepared by introducing titanium by a grafting technique. The samples, having TiO2 loadings of 10%, have been characterized by XRF, XRD, FT-IR (CO adsorption), porosimetry, SEM, HRTEM, and UV-Visible diffuse reflectan...

Large-pore three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous silicas are among the most interesting mesoporous materials discovered in recent years, and they have attracted much attention for potential applications requiring easily accessible, uniform, large pores. Examples of these are SBA-15 (p6mm) and SBA16 (Im3̄m), which have cylindricaland cage-type structures, respectively. It has been reported that hexag...

Catalytic hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) was investigated over four different types mesoporous silica (SBA-15, MCM-48, MCM-41, and KIT-6) supported copper (5 wt.%) catalysts. The Cu incorporated into supports by a sequential impregnation method. A detailed investigation the support structure–activity correlation performance catalysts in LA conversion studied. Deta...
