This research focuses on identifying the accessibility of active sites within the defect-engineered UiO-66 framework. The task is particularly challenging due to reversible changes in the framework during dehydroxylation: the loss of μ3-OH groups with simultaneous reduction of the Zr coordination number and the possible creation of Zr4+ Lewis acid sites in defect MOFs. We used in-situ FTIR and XANES analyses, as well as interaction with probe molecules, to monitor the changes in Zr coordination and the host-guest interaction. The defects were introduced using benzoic acid as a modulator, which coordinated to Zr4+ in defective pores. Our results showed that the UiO-66 sample synthesized with benzoic acid contained defects, but these were concealed under benzoate residues and thus inaccessible. Standard washing and heating did not remove benzoate anions. Dehydroxylation of the sample leads to the development of “hidden” Lewis acidity: some Zr4+ sites were not able to form complexes with the weak base CO, but they interact with the stronger bases acetonitrile. Additionally, in-situ XANES analysis revealed that the effect of acetonitrile adsorption is similar to that of water rehydration. Treatment of the sample with HCl and DMF led to the replacement of benzoates with formate ions, exposing the bare Zr4+ sites within the defective pores. These cationic sites acted as true Lewis acids and were able to coordinate both CO and acetonitrile. Our findings emphasize that the active sites in UiO-66 highly depend on synthesis conditions and post-synthetic treatments. Comprehensive site-specific methods are crucial for accurately predicting and identifying these active sites.

In a previous study, the Na-P1 type zeolites were synthesized from aluminosilicate residues using an efficient and cost-effective process, exhibiting an excellent adsorption capacity for Ca2+ in comparison to commercial zeolites 13X and A. Building upon this, the current study evaluates their performance for the adsorption of various elements, including Ca2+, Mg2+, and NH4+. The objective was to evaluate the performance of the Na-P1 type zeolites for the adsorption of various elements, including Ca2+, Mg2+, and rare earth elements, with a particular emphasis on the adsorption kinetics and water hardness removal in comparison to commercial zeolite A. The results demonstrated that the Na-P1 zeolite exhibited a satisfactory sorption capacity for Ca2+ and NH4+ ions (66 mg/g), while displaying a relatively lower effectiveness for the sorption of Mg2+ ions (5.6 mg/g). The Langmuir model is particularly well suited to the sorption of Ca2+, while the Freundlich model is more appropriate for Mg2+. Both models demonstrated satisfactory representation of NH₄ ⁺ sorption. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides an excellent description of the Ca2⁺ and Mg2⁺ sorption processes, while both models effectively describe the NH₄⁺ adsorption kinetics. Additionally, Na-P1 zeolite was observed to effectively reduce water hardness from 322 to 63 mg CaCO₃/L at temperatures of 10, 20, and 38 °C, and to 18 mg/L at 58 °C. These findings suggest that Na-P1 zeolite has promising potential for applications as a water softening agent. Regarding metals and rare earths, the Na-P1 zeolite demonstrated noteworthy sorption efficiencies for Cd2+ (138 mg/g), Ce3+ (209 mg/g), Cr3+ (56.2 mg/g), and Cu2+ (60.5 mg/g). However, it demonstrated lower sorption efficiencies for Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Dy3+ (below 16 mg/g). The findings illustrate that Na-P1 zeolites are effective for the adsorption of diverse elements, offering a promising avenue for the sustainable transformation of industrial waste into valuable materials for environmental applications.

Carbon dioxide utilization presents an important and topical research topic. However, the performance of catalysts needed for CO2 transformations does not achieve the necessary levels for their widespread application. To this end, we decided to study non-aqueous condensations providing amine-functionalized silica catalysts, possibly active in CO2-epoxide cycloaddition reaction. While non-hydrolytic sol-gel method is well-known for its efficiency in providing highly porous Lewis and Brønsted acid metallosilicates, here we show for the first time its application for the preparation of silica-based catalysts containing basic groups. First, the reaction conditions were screened to reproducibly obtain porous materials with preserved amine moieties. These were identified as follows: silicon tetraacetate and bridging tertiary amine silanes as precursors, toluene as a solvent, and temperature between 160 and 180 °C. In such a way, materials with up to 776 m2 g−1 and 1.58 cm3 g−1 were obtained in one-step process, without any template, after conventional drying step. Next, the amine-functionalized materials were tested in CO2-epoxide coupling providing cyclic organic carbonates with high selectivity (>99 %) and moderate activity (up to 86 % epichlorohydrin conversion after 1 h at 120 °C and 10 bar CO2). The characterization of spent catalysts revealed a presence of cyclic organic carbonates at the catalyst surface as well as conversion of tertiary amine groups to quaternary ammonium moieties.
二氧化碳的利用是一个重要而热门的研究课题。然而,二氧化碳转化所需的催化剂性能并未达到广泛应用所需的水平。为此,我们决定研究非水缩合提供胺功能化二氧化硅催化剂的方法,这种催化剂可能在二氧化碳环氧化物环加成反应中具有活性。非水解溶胶-凝胶法因其在提供高多孔性路易斯酸和布伦斯特酸金属硅酸盐方面的高效性而闻名,而在这里,我们首次展示了该方法在制备含有碱性基团的硅基催化剂方面的应用。首先,我们对反应条件进行了筛选,以重复获得保留胺分子的多孔材料。这些条件确定如下:以四乙酸硅酯和桥接叔胺硅烷为前驱体,以甲苯为溶剂,温度在 160 至 180 °C 之间。这样,在传统的干燥步骤之后,无需任何模板,一步法就能获得最大 776 平方米 g-1 和 1.58 立方厘米 g-1 的材料。接下来,对胺功能化材料进行了 CO2- 环氧化物偶联测试,结果表明,这些材料可提供环状有机碳酸盐,具有高选择性(99%)和中等活性(在 120 °C 和 10 bar CO2 下反应 1 小时后,环氧氯丙烷的转化率高达 86%)。对废催化剂的表征显示,催化剂表面存在环状有机碳酸盐,并且叔胺基团转化为季铵基团。

A series of bifunctional catalyst CoMo on γ-Al2O3 have been successfully prepared using the spray impregnation (dry impregnation), with the variation in the metal sequence (Co-Mo and Mo-Co) and metal impregnation time gap (1-h, 24-h, and simultaneous). XRF indicated that the developed method causes a minimal amount of metal loss during the impregnation process. XRD shows that 24-h treatment reduces crystallinity compared to the 1-h and simultaneous catalysts. Co and Mo existed as CoAl2O4, CoO, and MoO3 as reported by XANES and XPS. The preparation technique signified the catalyst's acidity and surface area. The Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3 24H has a high surface area (118.32 m2 g−1), with a pore volume of 0.22 cm3 g−1, and a pore diameter of 7.48 nm. It has a high proportion of weak acid sites (41.32 %) which is crucial to perform HDO reactions. Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3 24H showed high catalytic activity (40.32 wt% liquid product) and selectivity (85.61 % of biogasoline and 9.75 % of diesel fractions) from the hydrotreatment. Kimi@UGM2010.

ZSM-48 zeolite is characteristic of 10-member ring (10-MR) one-dimensional tubular channel structure and finds extensive applications in catalytic hydroisomerization reactions. Here we developed an efficient synthetic strategy for low-silica ZSM-48 zeolite with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio at 30–176 via a seed-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method, overcoming the limit that 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) template can only be used to synthesize high-silica (i.e., SiO2/Al2O3 ratio >200) zeolites. A two-step crystallization procedure coupled with zeolite seed-assisted synthesis strategy was enrolled to realize well crystallized ZSM-48 zeolites, in which the zeolite nuclei are sufficiently produced at the nucleation temperature at 100 °C for 24 h with the aid of zeolite seeds, and the zeolite growth is proceeded at the crystallization temperature at 160 °C for 48 h. The morphology and particle size of low-silica ZSM-48 zeolite have been manipulated by adjusting the synthetic parameters, such as the alkalinity and silicon source of aluminosilicate gel for zeolite, the crystallization manner (static or dynamic crystallization), as well as the presence of additive (i.e., sodium chloride). The as-synthesized ZSM-48 zeolite possesses a high acid content of 0.194 mmol/g, highlighting its potential as an excellent acidic support for hydroisomerization catalysts. The cost-effective and environmentally friendly synthesis strategy, which is anticipated to expand the application of alkylamine organic templates in the synthesis of low-silica ZSM-48 zeolite.

A core-shell structured USY-xTT@NiMo catalyst was prepared through thermal treatment method and evaluated for the catalytic hydrodesulfurization (HDS) performance toward dibenzothiophene (DBT). The shell assembled from NiMoS nano-wool provided abundant active site. This nano-wool morphology and core-shell structure resulted in the catalyst with enhanced specific surface area, pore volume, lower interaction between the support and active metals, and facilitated metal dispersion. In addition, the nano-wool morphology and core-shell structure also promoted the degree of sulfurization and provided more sulfur vacancies, which enhanced the HDS performance of the corresponding catalysts. An efficient USY-16TT@NiMo catalyst with shorter slab lengths (average 2.50 nm), higher average stacking number (3.37 layers), and more edge active sites was assembled, which showed superior kHDS value of DBT up to 8.29 × 10−4 mol g−1 h−1 and high direct desulfurization selectivity to be 88 %.

Fe and Zr modified hollow ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared and their applications in upgrading of lignite pyrolysis volatiles coupling with methanol to light aromatics were investigated. The results demonstrated that hollow zeolites with larger voids and shorter diffusion length favored the production of light aromatics. Adding Fe and Zr into ZSM-5 zeolites further enhanced BTX yields due to the synergism between metals and acid sites for promoting hydrodeoxygenation reactions. Meanwhile, Zr-Fe/HZ-5 catalyst with increasing Lewis acid sites facilitated methylation leading to high selectivity of xylene under methanol atmosphere. Moreover, diffusion behaviors of xylene were quantified. Higher self-diffusion coefficient of molecules in hollow zeolites led to the formation of less coke, while the incorporation of Fe and Zr promoted the formation of catalytic coke due to the increase of alkylation resulting in partial conversion of BTX into PAHs on external surfaces although the total coke yields were further decreased.

The non-precious metal manganese-based catalysts currently show insufficient CO catalytic oxidation performance in actual sintering flue gas conditions, with increased water vapor levels causing catalyst deactivation. This study utilized a high-performance manganese dioxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2). The effect of metal doping on the catalytic CO oxidation performance was investigated in preparing OMS-2 using the co-precipitation method. The experiments showed that Cu doping increased CO conversion efficiency more than other metals (Co, Ag, Zn, and Fe), with optimal performance achieved at a 1.91 wt% doping level. Besides, Cu doping significantly enhanced water resistance of the catalyst, enabling effective CO removal in high-humidity conditions. The study observed that Cu ions infiltrated the catalyst framework by substituting some of the Mn ions, creating additional active sites in the form of oxygen vacancies and improving surface oxygen mobility, thereby enhancing the performance of CO catalytic oxidation. Furthermore, Cu doping demonstrated selective absorption of water vapor, with CuxO in the catalyst, effectively adsorbing water vapor and protecting the initial active sites, thereby mitigating water vapor-induced poisoning. Even in 15 vol% H2O at 150 °C, 1.91%Cu-OMS-2 maintained total catalytic activity. Therefore, the co-precipitation method-prepared 1.91%Cu-OMS-2 catalyst holds excellent potential for CO removal in sintering flue gas and shows promise for practical applications.
目前,非贵金属锰基催化剂在实际烧结烟气条件下的一氧化碳催化氧化性能不足,水蒸气含量增加会导致催化剂失活。本研究采用了高性能八面体分子筛二氧化锰(OMS-2)。在使用共沉淀法制备 OMS-2 的过程中,研究了金属掺杂对催化 CO 氧化性能的影响。实验结果表明,与其他金属(Co、Ag、Zn 和 Fe)相比,掺杂 Cu 更能提高 CO 的转化效率,在 1.91 wt% 的掺杂水平下达到最佳性能。此外,掺杂铜还能显著提高催化剂的耐水性,从而在高湿度条件下有效去除一氧化碳。研究观察到,Cu 离子通过取代部分 Mn 离子渗入催化剂框架,以氧空位的形式产生了额外的活性位点,并改善了表面氧的流动性,从而提高了 CO 催化氧化的性能。此外,催化剂中的 CuxO 可选择性地吸收水蒸气,有效地吸附了水蒸气并保护了初始活性位点,从而减轻了水蒸气引起的中毒。即使在 150 °C、15 vol% H2O 的条件下,1.91%Cu-OMS-2 也能保持完全的催化活性。因此,共沉淀法制备的 1.91%Cu-OMS-2 催化剂在烧结烟气中脱除 CO 方面具有很好的潜力,有望得到实际应用。

This study utilized a high-performance manganese dioxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2). The effect of metal doping on the catalytic CO oxidation performance was investigated in preparing OMS-2 using the co-precipitation method. The experiments showed that Cu doping increased CO conversion efficiency more than other metals (Co, Ag, Zn, and Fe), with optimal performance achieved at a 1.91 wt% doping level. Besides, Cu doping significantly enhanced water resistance of the catalyst, enabling effective CO removal in high-humidity conditions. The study observed that Cu ions infiltrated the catalyst framework by substituting some of the Mn ions, creating additional active sites in the form of oxygen vacancies and improving surface oxygen mobility, thereby enhancing the performance of CO catalytic oxidation. Furthermore, Cu doping demonstrated selective absorption of water vapor, with Cu<sub>x</sub>O in the catalyst, effectively adsorbing water vapor and protecting the initial active sites, thereby mitigating water vapor-induced poisoning.

d6r units were proved to be crucial for the synthesis of SSZ-16 zeolite with AFX topology, and FAU zeolite owning plenty of d6r units was chosen as the essential raw material for constructing AFX frameworks. In this work, SSZ-16 zeolite was directly synthesized using colloidal silica and sodium aluminate as the raw materials in short crystallization time of 5 h. The corresponding crystallization process were carefully investigated by various characterizations, demonstrating that the key to this success was the formation of d6r units built up by a large amount of s4r units which were formed with the assistance of the appropriate organic structure directing agent (OSDA) and seeds in the synthetic media. Interestingly, the products of C-SSZ-16 zeolites presented spherical shapes consisted of relatively small particles with size range from 30 to 50 nm. Moreover, after ion-exchanged with Cu ions, the Cu-C-SSZ-16 products showed excellent performance in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) and better hydrothermal stability than conventional Cu-SSZ-16-con samples due to slightly higher Si/Al ratio of the Cu-C-SSZ-16. Therefore, remarkable catalytic performance and the use of low-cost raw materials as well as short period of synthesis time make AFX zeolites as potential applicants in NH3-SCR field, from an industrial viewpoint.

A calcination strategy based on the use of mixed MOF HKUST-1/MIL-100 as precursor was used for the obtention of a porous carbon composite (C-HKUST-1/MIL-100) containing iron-copper bimetallic particles within it. The prepared carbon was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption, confirming the obtention of a micro-mesoporous carbon with Fe-Cu particles homogenously distributed within the structure. For comparison, Cu and Fe-carbons (C-HKUST-1 and C-MIL-100, respectively) were also prepared from the corresponding HKUST-1 and MIL-100 MOFs, respectively. The catalytic performance of the developed carbons as heterogeneous catalysts for persulfate-based advanced oxidation degradation of bisphenol A was evaluated. The Fe-Cu@carbon showed the best catalytic performance, leading to a total BPA degradation after just 10 min of reaction, which was closely related to the synergistic effect of iron and copper. The effect of some key parameters including initial pH value, PS concentration and catalyst dosage was investigated using the Fe-Cu@carbon. In addition, the developed carbon showed good reusability, with no apparent loss in BPA degradation, after five cycles and the ability to treat real water samples, with the advantage that the recovery process after degradation is facilitated thanks to its magnetic properties.
