A high performance HZSM-5 catalyst for liquid phase dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) was developed by optimizing Si/Al ratio and hydrothermal treatment temperature. During 6788 h long term test, DME selectivity kept above 99.96% and only slight deactivation was observed primarily due to coking and decline of HZSM-5 crystallinity. Gr...

Nest-like alkaline magnesium carbonate spheres were successfully prepared by precipitation of boiling Mg(NO3)2 solution by adding hot K2CO3 solution. Thin alkaline magnesium carbonate nanoplates, which can convert to nest-like magnesium oxide (MgO) without changes of morphology by calcination, are self-assembled to nest-like spheres with a cave in...
Article
Nitrided mesoporous silica was used as a host for accommodating nano-silver into the channels. The nitridation of the mesoporous silica host, i.e. SBA-15, with ammonia caused the generation of –NHx groups on the surface. The following impregnation of the nitrided SBA-15 with aqueous AgNO3 solution and further reduction led to formation of silver na...
Article
SAPO-34s with low and high Si content were synthesized and characterized by XRD, XRF, NMR, FTIR and TG-DSC. Different Si content generated no apparent difference in XRD patterns and 31P and 27Al MAS NMR spectra. The Si coordination states studied by 29Si MAS NMR predicted the acidity difference caused by Si incorporation. The absorbance of bridge h...

... To pursue even higher catalytic activity stability, the high efficiency HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst (Si/Al: 33) is still sustainable after 6788 h test with high DME conversion. It was investigated that higher silica-alumina ratios and even Al-free MFI zeolites exhibit poor catalytic activity due to the absence of exchangeable cations [46]. ...
... Zeolite ZSM-5, Y, Mordenite, Ferrierite, and Beta in H + form or modified with metal ions showed high activity but low DME selectivity (≤ 95.2%) with isooctane as solvent at 250 °C [23]. Moreover, stability of zeolites in aqueous phase reactions is a challenging topic [24,25]. Though ZSM-5 has been proved to be quite stable in hot liquid water with duration time at most 72 h [26][27][28], its long term stability in aqueous phase reactions remains inexplicit and not studied in liquid phase methanol dehydration. ...
... As a result of their advantage of excellently comparable properties such as high porosity, high surface area, excellent pore shape and structural diversity, MOF are used for most applications where zeolites are employed such as molecular sieve, adsorption process for gas and liquid purification, catalyst in petroleum refining and assorted types of petrochemical processes [46][47][48]. MOFs are also applied in production of optically and magnetically active materials and in pharmaceutical application as a delayed drug delivery agent [49][50][51]. In medicine, MOFs have also been reported to have persistence and high antibacterial activity against nosocomial bacterial infections when their structure contain silver, zinc, copper or cobalt [52]. ...
... 77 The broad shoulder peak at 8.4 ppm is assigned to the protons on the NH 2 + group of protonated amine (DPAH + ). 89,104 Heating at 80 and 140°C does not seem to significantly affect the three peaks at 1.2, 1.8, and 3.2 ppm given by the SDA. However, as soon as heating begins at 80°C , the 8.4 ppm signal disappeared immediately, suggesting that the protonated amine is converted to a neutral amine form via deprotonation. ...
