Abstract: SO₄^2-/ Al-Fe-activated solid acid catalysts had been prepared in different conditions using cross-linking method, and characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR spectra and TG-DTA. The catalyst performed highly catalytic activity in the hydration of turpentine to α-terpineol.

Abstract: The water-based heat insulation coatings were prepared based on self-made Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH), kaolin, titanium dioxide, barium sulfate and talcum powder. The heat insulation effects of different fillers single use and Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) compound use with them were investigated. The results of heat insulation test experiments reveal that Self-made Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) shows good heat insulation effect. Furthermore, after combining LDH with kaolin and titanium dioxide, the heat insulation effect is improved obviously and shows a positive synergy effect; whereas combining LDH with barium sulfate, the heat insulation effect is reduced obviously and shows a negative synergy effect. Finally, the Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) and the reflection of the prepared film were characterized by X-ray Powder diffraction (PXRD) and ultraviolet visible diffused reflection (UV-DRS ), respectively. Moreover, the results indicated that the heat insulating effect is mainly caused by the reflection of the coating film.

Abstract: Zeolites mordenite (MOR) and β decorated with high dispersion degree and loading content of CuO composite (symbolized as CuO/zeolite) were prepared via a novel method-the stepped hydrothermal synthesis. The resultant composite were characterized with details by powder XRD, ICP-AES, H₂-TPR and TEM techniques. Shown by experiment, the stepped hydrothermal synthetic method adopted in the present research using urea as alkali source as well as benefiting from the ultrasonic wash treatment hardly damages the zeolitic framework structure. Compared with ammonia, high dispersion degree and loading level of CuO are yielded as a consequence of the employment of urea as alkali source. Besides, the ultrasonic wash treatment not only removes some CuO precursors that deposit on the external surface of the porous support but also produces a uniform distribution of CuO particles with smaller dimension on the surface of zeolites: CuO are dispersed in nanoscale of about 4-8 nm on mordenite and 2-5 nm on zeolite β. The present synthetic strategy could be therefore applied as a novel general method for the manufacture of functional materials in a wide spectrum.
