Al-containing mesoporous molecular sieves(Al-MCM-41) were synthesized at ambient temperature. The structures of samples were characterized by XRD, N2-adsorption/desorption isotherms and FT-IR, etc. The evaluation results showed that Al-MCM-41 had higher catalytic activity for isomerization conversion of endo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (endo-TCD) into exo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (exo-TCD) and adamantane (AdH). Loading inorganic acid on the surface of Al-MCM-41 led increase of its catalytic activity and the yield of adamantane.

In this paper, rice straw (RS) and rice straw ash (RSA) were employed to synthesize mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 in an open-vessel. The structure of as-synthesized MCM-41 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrum, NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. RS-MCM-41 and RSA-MCM-41 possess the same typical hexagonal mesoporous structure with high long-range order and crystalline degree as those of MCM-41 from water glass (SDS-MCM-41).

In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 was carried out in an open-vessel. The mesoporous structure of as-synthesized MCM-41 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrum, NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The catalytic performances of MCM-41 for the synthesis of geranyl propionate (GP) with geraniol and propionic acid as reagents also were investigated. The characterization results show that the as-synthesized MCM-41 possesses typical hexagonal mesoporous structure with high long-range order and crystalline degree. The high GP selectivity of 64.25% with geraniol conversion of 17.21% was achieved under optimum conditions.

Abstract. Using MCM-41 molecular sieves as the support, Cu-ZnO/MCM-41 and Cu/MCM-41 catalysts were prepared by impregnation and grinding. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and TPR methods. The catalytic activity of the dehydrogenation of methanol to methyl formate (MF) was evaluated using the flow microreactor under atmospheric pressure. According to the results, the catalyst prepared by impregnation had a better selectivity for the MF, but a lower methanol conversion rate. However, the product's selectivity could be improved by adding ZnO additive while the methanol conversion rate was reduced. For Cu/MCM-41 prepared by impregnation and grinding, the methanol conversion rate was 20.18% and 24.13% respectively at 250°C and the MF selectivity was 73.75% and 67.35% respectively. Likewise for Cu-ZnO/MCM-41 prepared by impregnation and grinding, the methanol conversion rate was 15.28% and 18.83% respectively at 250°C and the MF selectivity was 81.31% and 75.32% respectively.

AbstractA lean NOx catalyst is needed to control NOx emissions generated by oxygen-rich combustion processes to obtain higher fuel economy. We have developed such a catalyst using modified mesoporous molecular sieves (MCM-41). An iron(II)-complex impregnated MCM-41 has been synthesized which has been further treated with [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2. This treatment resulted in further exchange of Na+ ions of the molecular sieves with Pd(NH3)42+ thus forming Catalyst A. The catalytic activity towards NOx, CO and HC was studied using simulated exhaust gas, as well as engine exhaust gas.

Niobium- and tantalum-containing mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 have been synthesized, and applied as a catalyst for vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to ε-caprolactam. NbMCM-41 catalyst exhibited high catalytic performance in the vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime. The oxime conversions were almost 100% and the lactam selectivities were around 80%. The lactam selectivities of NbMCM-41 catalyst were higher than those of AlMCM-41 catalyst. However, TaMCM-41 catalyst exhibited lower catalytic performance than AlMCM-41 catalyst, and it was fast deactivated with time. These results may be due to the acidity difference among the catalysts. The results from NH3-TPD showed that NbMCM-41 catalyst possessed weak and medium acid sites, while TaMCM-41 catalyst possessed only very weak acid sites. AlMCM-41 catalyst also exhibited only weak acid sites.
