Since mesoporous materials normally possess large surface area and narrow pore size distribution, which makes them a versatile candidate in the catalysis field. It is generally anticipated that the use of a high surface area mesoporous oxide support rather than a commercial support for transition metals has some beneficial effects on the catalytic performance. The mesoporous support would give rise to well dispersed and stable metal particle on the surface upon calcination and reduction and as a consequence would show an improved catalytic performance [5]. In this presentation, we use a relatively easy way to synthesize mesomacroporous TiO2 at low-temperature without using any templates, and then to prepare meso-macropous TiO2 supported PVP-protected ruthenium Contact Us Visits Of this Page 0 Conference Name Duration Publishing Year Article Type oxide nanoparticle catalysts. The prepared catalysts were characterized by the techniques of SEM, TEM, XRD and XPS. It is revealed from the XRD patterns that the materials exhibited the pure anatase crystal structure, and the diffraction peaks corresponding to RuO2 could not be observed, probably due to the smaller content on the relative mass basis and high dispersion degree. The N2 sorption experiments confirmed that the materials present well-defined mesoporous structure with high surface area and narrow mesopore size distributions. The SEM images show obviously the macropores of 300 – 800 nm in size arranged parallel to each other in the particles, and the TEM images show that the macroporous walls are nanostructured and composed of the wormholelike mesopores that resulted from the nanoparticle assembly. The observed particle size of the RuO2 crystallites was approximately 2-3nm with some aggregations. Epoxidation of styrene was studied with meso-macroporous TiO2 supported RuO2 with different Ru loading amount. The results show that supported 1.0Ru% mesomacroporous TiO2 has a better catalytic activity on styrene epoxodation with H2O2 than pure meso-macroporous TiO2. RuO2 loading amount was increased from 1w.t% to 2 w.t%, aiming to acquire the catalytic improvement. Unfortunately, the increment in the amount of RuO2 loaded beyond 1w.t% not only result in lower styrene conversion but also lower styrene oxide selectivity. This may be attributed to the decrease of BET surface area and pore volume of TiO2 with the RuO2 loading amount increment. : Tenth International Symposium on Heterogeneous Catalysis : From : 22/8/1429 AH - To : 26/8/1429 AH From : 23/8/2008 AD - To : 27/8/2008 AD : 1429 AH 2008 AD : Article Added Date : Sunday, February 22, 2009 Researchers Researcher Name Researcher Name Researcher Dr Email (Arabic) (English) Type Grade Jian-Feng Gu Jian-Feng Gu Researcher Doctorate Gao-Song Shao Gao-Song Shao Researcher Doctorate Zhong-Yong Yuan Zhong-Yong Yuan Researcher Doctorate Files File Name 18549.pdf Type pdf Deanship of Information Technology - King Abdulaziz University.
