Mesoporous Aluminosilicates and Aluminas as Potential Petroleum Refining Catalysts

摘要

Several supramolecular assembly pathways have been developed for the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves with hexagonal (MCM-41, SBA-15, MSU-H), cubic (MCM-48), wormhole (HMS, MSU-X), lamellar-vesicular (MSU-G), and foamlike (MCF, MSU-F) framework structures. These materials in aluminosilicate form have potential applications in catalysis and adsorption technology, especially for use as acid catalysts for bulk hydrocarbon conversion.
