A series of Vand/or Ti-loading MCM-41 catalysts are successfully synthesized with a hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic and thermal epoxidations of cyclohexene in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) were investigated with real-time monitored by NIR-Raman spectroscopy. It suggests that both Vand Ti-loading can be responsible for the cyclohexene epoxidation. Moreover, the compl...

In this work, we have studied the catalytic activity of different silicates (MFI, MCM-41, and Beta) containing Lewis acid sites (including Sn, Ti, Zr, Hf) for tandem N-alkylation reaction aniline with benzyl alcohol. The Hf- Zr-Beta were most active catalysts transformation, showing in both cases selectivities toward corresponding N-benzylaniline higher than 97%. FTIR DFT analyses confirm that ...

The catalytic performance in n-hexadecane hydrocracking of a set bifunctional catalysts composed acidic mesoporous silicas, i.e., SBA-15, MCM-41, MCM-48, and amorphous silica-alumina (ASA), Pd as acid (de)hydrogenation components, respectively, was investigated. selectivity to cracked products the occurrence secondary cracking depended on pore topology, acidity, dispersion. Si/Al ratio mesopore...

The effects of six particulate metals (Al, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta and Cr) on cell viability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were studied in vitro using two types of osteoblast-like cells, MG-63 and HOS cells. The cell viability in the presence of Al, Ti and Zr was depressed at lower concentrations than in the presence of Nb, Ta and Cr. The average sizes of the Al, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta and Cr particul...

Two conventionally solidified Al-0.2Ti alloys (with 0.18 and 0.22 at. pct Ti) exhibit no hardening after aging up to 3200 hours at 375 C or 425 C. This is due to the absence of Al3Ti precipitation, as confirmed by electron microscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. By contrast, an Al-0.2Zr alloy (with 0.19 at. pct Zr) displays strong age hardening at both temperatures due to precipita...

cu(ii) complex with l-histidine (his) ligand, immobilized within al-mcm-41, designated as cu(his)2/al-mcm-41 was prepared and characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption desorption, ftir, uv-vis and chemical analysis techniques. the surface area and pore volume were found to decrease after immobilization of cu(ii) complex on al-mcm-41. it was found that cu(his)2/al-mcm-...

Highly crystalline and surface-modified Zr-doped TiO(2) nanorods were successfully prepared using a nonhydrolytic sol-gel method that involves the condensation of metal halides with alkoxides in anhydrous trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) at either 320 or 400 degrees C. In addition, the interaction of the cross-condensation between the Ti and Zr species was studied by characterizing the morphologi...
