Synthesis And Adsorption Studies Of The Micro-Mesoporous Material Sba-15, Eunyoung You Jan 2007

Synthesis And Adsorption Studies Of The Micro-Mesoporous Material Sba-15, Eunyoung You

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Over the past decades, there have been worldwide efforts to synthesize new types of ordered porous materials for catalysis, separations, etc. Among those, mesoporous material with microporous walls are promising in a sense that while mesopores act as channels for the reactant transport with little diffusion limitation, micropores in the wall act as active sites for reactions or storage of the molecules. In this study, we focused on the SBA-15 material, which is a highly ordered mesoporous silica material with micropores present in the wall. We have studied the synthesis of the material by manipulating various factors that are known …
