AbstractOrganically-modified silicates have been synthesized from RSi(OEt)3 (R = CH3, C2H5, C8H17, CH2=CH, C6H5) and TEOS under acidic conditions, in the presence of cethyltrimethylammonium (CTAB). The introduction of RSiO1.5 units with R/Si =0.2, affects the ordering of the expected hexagonal silicate phase, except when R = C6H5. The sample containing phenyl functions was thus submitted to surfactant extraction; calcination at 350°C appears to be more efficient, and less disruptive for the network ordering than a washing procedure in ethanol. Nitrogen adsorption measurements on the hexagonally ordered calcined sample that still contains phenyl groups, yields a type I isotherm, typical of a microporous solid. BET method leads to a surface area of 1000 m2/g and a pore volume of 0.32 cm3/g.

A new technology based on bio-templating approach was proposed in this paper. Egg-shell membrane (ESM) has been employed as a natural biotemplate. Fibrous oxide ceramics was prepared by wet impregnation of biological template with water solution of cerium nitrate. The template was derived from membranes of fresh chicken eggs. Repeated impregnation, pyrolysis and final calcination in the range of 600 to 1200?C in air resulted in template burnout and consolidation of the oxide layers. At low temperatures, the obtained products had structure which corresponded to the negative replication of biological templates. Unique bio-morphic CeO2 microstructures with interwoven networks were synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), whereas low-temperature nitrogen adsorption (BET) method was used in order to characterize porous properties.

In this study catalysts Fe/SBA-15 were prepared for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. SBA-15 samples were synthesized under acidic conditions using triblock copolymer Pluronic as a template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica source.The molar composition was: 1.0 TEOS: 0017 P123: 8.14 HCl: 168 H2O. Fe/SBA-15 catalysts with different iron loading (15 wt. % and 20 wt. %) were prepared by wetness impregnation of relative SBA-15 with the desired amount of aqueous iron nitrate. The obtained catalyst were characterized by X ray diffraction (XDR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). After impregnation of Fe the XRD profiles were almost unchanged and exhibited the high diffraction peaks of SBA-15 at low angles. The analysis of nitrogen adsorption-desorption was observed that the values of specific surface area decreased as the concentration of metal impregnated increased. And by the EDX analysis verified that the iron contents obtained are close to nominal levels of iron.

Bacterial microcompartments are large supramolecular structures comprising an outer proteinaceous shell that encapsulates various enzymes in order to optimize metabolic processes. The outer shells of bacterial microcompartments are made of several thousand protein subunits, generally forming hexameric building blocks based on the canonical bacterial microcompartment (BMC) domain. Among the diverse metabolic types of bacterial microcompartments, the structures of those that use glycyl radical enzymes to metabolize choline have not been adequately characterized. Here, six structures of hexameric shell proteins from type I and type II choline-utilization microcompartments are reported. Sequence and structure analysis reveals electrostatic surface properties that are shared between the four types of shell proteins described here.
