Síntese da mordenita a partir da Al-SBA-15

Abstract

In the present dissertation it was conducted the study of the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieve Al-SBA-15 by direct synthesis in agitated reactor having the following molar ratio: 14 SiO2: 1 Al2O3: 0.235 P123: 1800 H2O. Initially, a study was done to optimize the synthesis of Al-SBA-15. Through this study, it was found that the operating conditions that resulted in the SBA-15 sample with a higher degree of ordering were gel aging time equal to 15 hours at 40 ° C and then at 100 ° C for 8 hours. These optimal conditions were used to perform scaling up to 5 gallon reactor. Samples of Al-SBA-15 were subjected to carbonization in order to fill the pores of SBA-15 with carbonaceous material and prevent the collapse of its structure. The carbonized samples were used as a source of silica for the synthesis of mordenite in dry medium using the transmission technique in the vapor phase (VPT). The purpose of this procedure was to obtain the mordenite having mesopores. For the preparation of the mordenite by VPT, several conditions were used, varying the synthesis time and form of addition of the reactants, presence or absence of an organic driver. The samples were characterized by X-ray and nitrogen adsorption. It was observed that in most of the experiments, there was no formation of mordenite phase. In the experiments in this phase was obtained, there was no significant mesoporosity training. Apparently, the presence of carbonaceous material was not sufficient to preserve the mesoporous structure of SBA-15. Key
