The obtained materials were analyzed by XRD and nitrogen adsorption to determine the structural order and the textural properties. It has been observed by Al-27 MAS NMR spectroscopy that aluminum atoms are exclusively in tetrahedral coordination for all samples except AISBA-15(7), where octahedral aluminum has been detected to some extent. Temperature-programmed desorption of pyridine showed that AISBA-15(45) has a higher number of strong acid sites as compared to other mesoporous materials such as FeMCM-41, AIMCM-41 and FcAlMCM-41. The catalyst AlSBA-15(45)showed superior performance in the acid-catalyzed tertiary butylation of phenol employing tert-butanol as the alkylation agent. A high phenol conversion of 86.3% is observed for this catalyst at a reaction temperature of 150 degrees C. Over AISBA-15(45), the 4-TBP yield amounts to 40.5% and the 2,4-DTBP yield corresponds to 37.9%. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Contact angle technique is employed to study the adsorption kinetics of methanol on SiO(100)/SiO2 and thermal stability of adlayer. Thermogravimetric (TGA) technique is used to understand the thermal behavior of methanol layer on SBA-15. Adsorption kinetics fit fairly well with Langmuir isotherms giving adsorption rate constant, k(a) = 0.0021 W s(-1). FTIR results show formation of methoxy silicon (SiOCHA silicon polyhydride (SiH2), carboxylate, molecular water and hydroxyl groups on Si(100)/SiO2 surface and only methoxy silicon on SBA-15. XPS results confirm methanol adsorption and support FTIR results. The methanol adlayers are found to be thermally stable up to a temperature of similar to 262 degrees C on both Si(100)/SiO2 and SBA-15 and decompose between 262 and 450 degrees C.

Catalysts were unambiguously characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, FF-IR pyridine adsorption techniques and the total amount of acidity of different STA loaded catalysts was estimated by TPD of NH3. The optimization of reaction conditions of an esterification of BA with AA was performed with 15 wt.% STA/22.4 wt.% ZrO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K by varying catalyst concentration (1-10 wt.% of reaction mixture); temperature, 353-383 K and AA:BA molar ratio as 0.5-3. The 15 wt.% STA/22.4 wt.% ZrO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K was found to have the highest acidity and more active in the reaction.
