Phosphate–ZrO2–Si2O catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method using tributyl phosphite, zirconium propoxide, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursors. They were characterized by N2 adsorption, 31P CP MAS NMR, and DRIFTS. At lower P content, monomeric phosphates were formed on the surface of the catalysts, which were mainly responsible for the isopropanol dehydration activity. At higher P content, polyphosphates were formed, and thus, the dehydration activity decreased. An optimum P content for dehydration activity was found to be at 10 mol%.Key words: sol-gel synthesis, ternary oxides, phosphate, acid catalyst, alcohol dehydration, 31P CP MAS NMR, N2 adsorption, DRIFTS.

Sulfated ZrO2–SiO2 catalysts were synthesized by one-pot sol-gel method using ammonium sulfate, zirconium propoxide, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursors. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption and DRIFTS. On calcining the gel at elevated temperature, the ammonium sulfate decomposed, giving a sulfated zirconia–silica catalyst. By adding ammonium sulfate to the sol-gel synthesis system, the surface area, pore size, and pore volume of the resultant catalyst were increased. The one-pot sol-gel synthesized catalyst with an optimum loading of SO42– 14 mol% showed significantly higher catalytic activity, with a selectivity of 100%, for isopropanol dehydration when compared to the impregnated catalyst. The one-pot sol-gel synthesis method is an effective way to prepare sulfated zirconia catalyst.Key words: sulfated zirconia, sol-gel synthesis, acid catalyst, alcohol dehydration, N2 adsorption, DRIFT.

ABSTRACT1H-13C and 1H- 29Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy has been used to characterize the structure of sol-gel derived hybrid materials prepared from 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GLYMO) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a function of hydrolysis water ratio and organic content. 1H-13C CP/MAS NMR data indicate that the concentration of hydrolysis water (R value) has a fundamental effect on the nature of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and ring opening products. 1H-29Si CP/MAS NMR data suggest that for low R values, the ormosils are composed of a silica network with epoxide groups randomly dispersed throughout. At high R values, epoxide functionalities were found to coat the surfaces of dense silica particles. Salt spray analysis indicates that the corrosion resistance behavior of thin films derived from GLYMOTEOS ormosils decreases as the concentration of hydrolysis water increases and improves as the organic content in the film increases. These observations can be related to the underlying thin film structure.

AbstractA silicon oximide gel was prepared by a reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide between tris(dimethylamino)silylamine (Me2N)3SiNH2 (TDSA) and formamide in a 1:2 molar ratio at 50C. The 29Si, 13C CP-MAS NMR and IR analyses indicated that the gel mainly comprised oximino silicon networks [SiOC(H)=NSi]x. The gel exhibited a microporous structure and had a total surface area of 339 m2/g. A microporous structure with a BET surface area of 195 m2/g was also obtained after pyrolysis of the gel at 1000°C for 2 h. Pyrolysis of the gel under N2 up to 1485°C gave an amorphous silicon oxycarbonitride glass.

The copolymers of N-vinylpyrazole with vinyl chloride and methyl methacrylate were obtained by radical polymerization. Constants reactivity and microstructure parameters of copolymers were calculated and their properties were studied. The sol-gel synthesis of obtained copolymers with tetraethyl orthosilicate results in a hybrid organic-inorganic composites. Films with proton conductivity to 7.8·10-3 S·sm-1 were formed on the basis the copolymers and composites.

The sulfated zirconia catalysts were was prepared by sol–gel processes consist of varied templating method. Both preparations consist of sol-gel synthesis of zirconium dioxide followed by sulfatation process by using NH4SO4solid reaction method. Two different templating agent; urea and cetyltrimetyl ammonium bromide was used in sol-gel processes. The prepared material was characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurements. From the XRD measurement it can be concluded that both materials consist of ZrO2in combined phases while from BET surface area analysis it can be noted that material prepared by urea template has higher specific surface area compared to that use CTAB template. Both materials exhibit the activity as acid catalyst in microwave assisted conversion of citronellal. It is also confirmed that the higher the surface area the higher total conversion of citronellal obtained. Study on the correlation between physicochemical properties of materials with the catalytic activity was discussed in this paper.
