The influence of various synthesis parameters such as crystallization time, temperature, water content at the bottom of autoclave, molar ratios of (TPA)(2)O/SiO(2) and SiO(2)/SnO(2) in dry gel on the crystallization kinetics and physico-chemical properties of Sn-MFI materials has been investigated. Powder-X-ray diffraction (XRD),XPS,AAS, DRUV-vis and SEM techniques were employed as characterization tools. Time-dependent studies revealed that, the progressive crystallization of Sn-MFI depend not only on the synthesis time but also on the other various synthesis parameters. Increase in the crystallization temperature, water content at bottom of autoclave (TPA)(2)O/SiO(2) and SiO(2)/SnO(2) molar ratios in dry gel resulted in the lowering of overall crystallization period. A good correspondence between the chemical composition of the surface and the bulk indicated the uniform distribution of Sn(4+) ions. The presence of these ions in tetrahedral coordination has been indicated by DRUV-vis spectral studies. Although, not better but comparable activity has been shown by Sn-MFI prepared by dry gel conversion method with Sn-MFI prepared by conventional hydrothermal crystallization method in the hydroxylation of phenol reaction. Increase in concentration of isolated Sn(4+) ions led to increase in phenol conversion and H(2)O(2) efficiency. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

In particular, its esterification with ethanol produces ethyl levulinate (EL) would be green process, as it can be used as diesel miscible biofuel (DMB), preventing global warming by decreasing atmospheric CO2. This study explores the use of modified H-ZSM-5 by desilication viz.; DH-ZSM-5 and dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTPA) loaded on DH-ZSM-5 for esterification of LA with ethanol aiming to EL. Different degree of desilication of H-ZSM-5 was performed by using aq. NaOH (0.2-1.5 M) at 338 K for 30 min and then DTPA was loaded on these desilicated H-ZSM-5 (DH-ZSM-5) support. H-ZSM-5, DH-ZSM-5 and DTPA on these DH-ZSM-5 samples were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), N-2 adsorption-desorption, pyridine chemisorbed IR spectroscopy, Temperature Programmed Ammonia Desorption (TPAD). The increase in conversion of levulinic acid was observed from 28% to 94% with increase of DTPA loading from 0% to 15%. The increased LA conversion may be due to increase in total acidity from 43.14% to 84.31%. The use of DH-ZSM-5 as support for deposition of DTPA may be reported for the first time. The present work also extended to optimize process parameters such as DTPA loading on DH-ZSM-5, catalyst to LA ratio, LA to ethanol molar ratio, speed of agitation, particle size reaction temperature and catalyst reusability. Kinetic study based on pseudo-homogeneous (P-H) model is also presented. The experimental results follow second order kinetics. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In order to assess the efficacy of TAAOH further, the chain length of tetraalkyl ammonium cations was also varied and the resulted catalysts were evaluated for their catalytic performance. The catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, low temperature nitrogen adsorption, temperature programmed desorption of ammonia and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The dependence of the catalyst performance on the precipitating agent employed during its synthesis has been clearly demonstrated. The use of TAAOH as precipitating agent led to the formation of a catalyst with better catalytic activity than those prepared using potassium carbonate and urea. Further improvement in the catalytic performance was observed when TAAOH with longer alkyl chain ammonium cation was used. The optimum catalyst prepared by reduction of mixed oxide precursor synthesized using tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxide as precipitating agent, showed highest cyclohexanol conversion (81.5%) and cyclohexanone selectivity (79.6%) at 250 degrees C on account of higher Cu+/Cu-0 ratio, well dispersed copper, higher surface area and lower total acidity with higher contribution of sites with moderate strength.

Silica embedded titania and silica were prepared using inexpensive polymeric version of ethyl silicate as a source of silica. Catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and low temperature (77 K) nitrogen adsorption measurements. Among all the catalysts, silica embedded titania has exhibited faster decolourization of methylene blue solution on account of the enhancement of adsorption followed by degradation. An amount of the catalyst and the initial dye concentration of MB solution were found to influence the decolourization activity. Compared to titania catalyst, silica embedded titania and Degussa P-25 have shown the red shift in their UV-Vis spectrum. The experimental data of the reaction fitted well to the pseudo first order kinetic model. In present studies, the adsorption mechanism for the decolourization of MB solution was found to be applicable for an intra particle diffusion model.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.685

New routes and related technologies based on renewable feedstocks can overcome most of these problems associated with fossil fuel. Among current biodiesel sources, ethyl levulinate (EL) biodiesel obtained from catalytic esterification of renewable levulinic acid (LA) with ethanol has received a great deal of attention. The use of desilicated H-ZSM-5 (DH-ZSM-5) as heterogeneous acid catalyst for EL biodiesel production in a closed system (under autogeneous pressure) was studied. RESULTSThe effect of reaction parameters such as ethanol to LA molar ratio (4:1 to 10:1), catalyst to LA ratio (0.10-0.25), speed of agitation (100-400rpm), particle size (53-355 mu m), reaction temperature (363-403K) and reaction time (7h) was investigated to maximize LA conversion. CONCLUSIONLevulinic acid conversion reached 95% over DH-ZSM-5 and the catalyst was reusable for up to six cycles. This LA conversion and the catalyst reusability values are higher than others reported in the literature. A pseudo-homogeneous (P-H) kinetic model indicated that reaction rate constants increased with increasing molar ratio, catalyst to LA ratio and reaction temperature. The activation energy decreased from 73.14 to 21.08 kJ mol(-1) when increasing the catalyst to LA ratio from 0.10 to 0.25, which implies a kinetically controlled reaction.
