This work describes the synthesis and characterization of mixed Al/Co pillared clays. The materials were prepared using different Co concentrations: 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The samples were analyzed by XRD, N-2 physisorption, chemical analysis (AA), Al-27 NMR, FTIR and EPMA. The use of small amounts of Co (10% and 25%) resulted in the formation of pillared clays, and the material containing 25% cobalt exhibited superior characteristics compared to an Al pillared clay (basal spacing of 18 angstrom and BET surface area higher than 300 m(2)/g). The Al-22 NMR results confirmed the formation of mixed Al/Co pillars; the ratio of the Al-VI/Al-IV signal intensities decreased, indicating that the Al-VI content decreased while the Co content increased. Thus, the Co ions isomorphically substituted for Al in the Keggin ion structure (pillaring agent). When the Co content was 50%, 75% and 100%, pillared clays did not form. Therefore, it is possible to obtain clays with mixed Al/Co pillars for Co contents of up to 25%. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Iane M. S. Souza, Sibele B. C. Pergher, Alexander Sachse

Summary: This study thoroughly investigated the possibility of crystallizing silicalite-1 from the pore walls of as-synthesized MCM-41 via steam-assisted crystallization. The results showed that the rapid destruction of the hexagonal mesophase occurred during SAC treatment, leading to the enlargement of mesopores and the formation of non-porous amorphous silica. Only after that, the crystallization of the MFI phase was evidenced.

Congli Li, Jiang Wang, Zhenfei Wang, Jinxiang Dong, Qi Shi

Summary: This study investigates the evolution and autoreduction behavior of Cu species in CuCl/NaY adsorbent during vacuum thermal activation. It is found that Cu species migrate from supercages to the nearby plane of the six-membered ring connecting the supercage and sod cage during vacuum activation. At 150 degrees C, vacuum autoreduction occurs, resulting in the formation of Cu+Cl- species. The results provide reference for the preparation of pi-complex adsorbents.

Mesoporous configuration effects on the physicochemical features of hierarchical ZSM-5 supported cobalt oxide as catalysts in methane partial oxidation

Irena Khatrin, Iman Abdullah, Alan J. Mccue, Yuni K. Krisnandi

Summary: Hierarchical porous system with two types of mesopores provides a solution to the diffusion limitation in conventional zeolites. Cobalt oxide impregnated hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite samples with intra- and inter-crystalline mesopores were synthesized using two different strategies. The physicochemical properties of the modified catalysts were analyzed, revealing distinct features given by the two mesoporous configurations. Catalytic activity analysis showed that Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with inter-crystalline mesopores exhibited higher activity in methane partial oxidation reaction compared to Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with intra-crystalline mesopores.

The strong adsorption of benzene on Co is found to lower the activation energy for methane dissociation and promote the formation of toluene precursor. The activation energy of methane dissociation is also affected by the Al-Al distance.
