Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates

Up-to-date and in-depth text bridging the technology gap between fundamental research and industry-scale applications of porous materials for catalysis

Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates: Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Applications comprehensively introduces the chemistry and catalytic technologies of metallosilicates, an important family of microporous crystalline zeolite and heteroatom-containing mesoporous materials, with a primary focus on design synthesis, characterization, theoretical studies, and catalytic applications of titanosilicates, tin-silicates, germanosilicates and Ti-mesosilica, and more.

The text covers recent advances in the synthesis of titanosilicates, including hydrothermal synthesis, dry-gel conversion, fluoride-assisted synthesis, and post-synthesis methods, along with the synthesis of metallosilicates with two-dimensional lamellar structures and their structural modifications as well as applications in selective oxidation reactions.

The text also discusses synthesis of germanosilicates with specially designed organic structure-directing agents, synthesis and catalytic applications of heteroatom-containing mesoporous silica, and dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles with unique wrinkled center-radial structures.

Overall, every important porous metallosilicate and its synthesis, characterization, pore engineering, catalytic application, and industrial technique and process are covered.

Specific sample topics discussed in Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates include:

• Chemical post-modifications of titanosilicates, in terms of the effects on transfer, adsorption/desorption, and surface reactions
• X-Ray based techniques, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy
• Theoretical calculation as an effective tool and supplement to understand the catalytic active center, structural character, and Brønsted/Lewis acidity
• Titanosilicates in the liquid-phase epoxidation reaction of propylene and propylene chloride to corresponding epoxides
• Effects of particle sizes, oxidation state, and location sites of Au nanoparticles, and epoxidation performance of Ti-containing materials

Delivering cutting-edge research and bridging the technology gap between fundamental research and industrial applications, Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates is a valuable resource for chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and experienced researchers in related fields.
