Synthesis and Characterization of MCM-41 Molecular Sieves Nanoparticals

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanoparticals of MCM-41 molecular sieves were synthesized at near room temperature with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as template agent. The prepared samples were characterized by the means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N2 adsorption tests, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The results suggested that morphology of MCM-41 molecular sieves samples with high crystallinity was almost uniform spherical, and the particles size was almost less than 100 nm. The adsorption-desorption isotherms were corresponded to typical type IV isotherms with the hysteresis loop of type H2, which showed the samples had mesoporous structure. The pore size distribution of samples were 1.69 nm and 3.58 nm, and the specific surface areas was up to 752.23 m2/g. The decomposition temperature of template agent CTAB was around 327 °C, while the framework for MCM-41molecular sieves was stable. So MCM-41 molecular sieve samples synthesized at near room temperature had excellent physical properties.
