Structural, textural and acidic properties of Cu-, Fe- and Cr-doped Ti-pillared montmorillonites

Montmorillonite has been treated with Ti-based solutions, alone or doped with Cu2 +, Fe3 + or Cr3 + cations, yielding new intercalated solids, which have been calcined at various temperatures to test the stability of the so-formed pillars. The solids calcined at 500 °C were fully characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analyses, nitrogen adsorption and acidity evaluation. The evolution of the specific surface area, porosity and acidic properties is discussed, analysing the effect of pillaring and doping procedures on these propertie

Effect of dopants on the structure of titanium oxide used as a photocatalyst for the removal of emergent contaminants

Photocatalysts composed of titanium dioxide modified with B, F, N and P have been synthesized, characterized and applied to the degradation of caffeine, diclofenac, ibuprofen and salicylic acid. The modified TiO2 samples were prepared by the sol–gel technique starting from titanium(IV) isopropoxide and using H3BO3, NH4F, N(C2H5OH)3 and H3PO4 as precursors of the modifiers, with the content varying between 0 and 5 wt%. Structural characterization was based on nitrogen physisorption at −196 °C, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The structural properties of the modified TiO2 solids were significantly different depending on the nature and amount of modifiers and the calcination temperature. TiO2 in the anatase phase was obtained in all cases and was stable upon calcination at 400 °C. The photocatalytic degradation of caffeine, diclofenac, ibuprofen and salicylic acid by modified TiO2 was investigated under ultraviolet irradiation at 25 °C. The photocatalytic degradation behavior followed the order: caffeine > diclofenac = ibuprofen > salicylic acid. B-doped TiO2 was the most efficient catalyst in the degradation of these selected emerging contaminants

Rapid microwave-assisted synthesis of saponites and their use as oxidation catalysts

Saponites containing divalent Mg, Ni, or Fe as octahedral cations and trivalent Al and Fe substituting Si in the tetrahedral sheet were synthesized using microwave radiation. Saponite with a high specific surface area was obtained in all the syntheses, although Fe-Al saponite crystallized was impurified by Fe2O3 and analcime. The catalytic activity of the solids for the epoxidation of (Z)-cyclooctene by hydrogen peroxide was tested, the solids obtained being highly active (conversion up to 8.8%, and 100% selectivity to the epoxide

Aminoiron(III)–porphyrin–alumina catalyst obtained by non-hydrolytic sol-gel process for heterogeneous oxidation of hydrocarbons

An aminoiron(III) porphyrin immobilized on an alumina matrix was prepared and used as catalyst for the oxidation of organic substrates. Powder alumina had been prepared by a non-hydrolytic sol-gel method through condensation of aluminum chloride with anhydrous ethanol. Then, iron(III) [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-aminophenyl)-porphyrin] was immobilized on the alumina powder under magnetic stirring, reflux, and inert atmosphere. Ultraviolet–visible and infrared spectroscopies, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis were applied for characterizing the resulting material, confirming that the ironporphyrin was immobilized on the alumina support. The catalytic activity of ironporphyrin/alumina was evaluated in the oxidation of (Z)-cyclooctene and cyclohexane and in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone using iodosylbenzene or hydrogen peroxide as oxygen donors. The novel immobilized catalyst proved to be a promising system for the efficient and selective oxidation of the organic substrates with 85–92% selectivity to the epoxide in the oxidation of alkenes and 25–41% to the ketone in the oxidation of cyclohexane. As for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone, good conversion to ԑ-caprolactone was observed as well. The material is a reusable heterogeneous catalyst, which makes it more economically feasible than its homogeneous counterpar
