Zr-pillared Montmorillonites (Zr-PILM) were prepared by the hydrothermal method with montmorillonite as raw material and zirconium oxychloride as Zr source of pillaring agent. The properties of the samples were characterized by XRD,BET, SEM, TEM, XPS. Effects of the synthesizing conditions on the structures of Zr-PILM were investigated. The results indicate that Zr-PILM retains complete layered and sheeting structure, and its BET surface area and micropore volume increases greatly. ZrO2 exists in Zr - PILM layers.The catalytic reaction result of MTO shows that Zr-PILM has high catalytic activities for MTO reaction.

<p>The synthesis of nano-Ag impregnated porous Chitosan beads, in crosslinked and uncrosslinked forms, was aimed to investigate their catalytic potential in reducing nitro group into amino by NaBH<sub>4</sub>. The material was found unique concerning the synthesis of well-defined Ag NPs and subsequently adsorbing them on its surface. The crosslinked and uncrosslinked chitosan beads were separately analyzed for the loading of Ag and its effect over the microstructures of the substrate. BET was used to explore the porous nature and pore size distributions of beads. At each stage, SEM coupled with EDX, FT-IR, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) were employed to characterize the material. The catalytic activities of nano-Ag in crosslinked and uncrosslinked beads were determined by the reduction of 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) into 4-aminophenol (4-AP) by NaBH<sub>4</sub>; which is least effective for such reduction. The catalytic activities were monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results demonstrated the nano-Ag as a reliable and active catalyst which made NaBH<sub>4</sub> quite capable for the nitro reduction. Moreover, the catalytic activities of crosslinked chitosan substrate were found more reproducible as compared to the uncrosslinked substrate. Copyright © 2017 BCREC GROUP.
