For the using of these sources, chemical and thermic treatments were done in both materials. After chemical and thermic treatments, these materials were employed on the MCM-41 mesoctructures synthesis. The natural materials treated and employed in the synthesis were characterized by several techniques such as X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption and desorption, scanning electronic microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. MCM-41 standart samples synthetized with aerosil 200 commercial s?lica were used to evaluation. The formed material from rice hulls ash showed values from BET specific area about 468 m?.g-1, N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms and loss mass similar to reference materials. The silica from chrysotile calcined and leached was employed to mesoporous materials synthesis. The BET specific area showed values about 700 m?.g-1, N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms type IV and loss mass similar to mesoporous materials. The formed material from calcined and leached chrysotile, without calcination, applied to phenol remotion carried high performance liquid chromatography and evaluated with organophilic clays with different treatments. By the characterization techniques were proved that mesoporous materials with lesser order that reference samples. The material formed from rice hulls ash without the calcination step achieved better adsorption results than organophilic clays / A s?ntese dos mesoporosos do tipo MCM-41 foram realizadas empregando materiais naturais como cinza da casca de arroz e crisotila como fontes alternativas de s?lica.

The use of catalysts combined with the fast pyrolysis process is an alternative to the oxygenate production of high added value, because, in addition to increasing the yield and quality of products, allows you to manipulate the selectivity to a product of interest, and therefore allows greater control over the characteristics of the final product. Based on these arguments, in this work were prepared titanium catalysts supported on MCM-41 for use in catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, called elephant grass. The reactions of pyrolysis of biomass were performed in a micro pyrolyzer, Py-5200, coupled to GC / MS, the company CDS Corporation, headquartered in the United States. The catalysts Ti-MCM-41 in different molar ratios were characterized by XRD, TG / DTG, FT-IR, SEM, XRF, UV-visible adsorption of nitrogen and the distribution of particle diameter and specific surface area measurement by the BET method. From the catalytic tests it was observed that the catalysts synthesized showed good results for the pyrolysis reaction.The main products were obtained a higher yield of aldehydes, ketones and furan. It was observed that the best reactivity is a direct function of the ratio Si/Ti, nature and concentration of the active species on mesoporous supports. Among the catalysts Ti-MCM-41 (molar ratio Si / Ti = 25 and 50), the ratio Si / Ti = 25 (400 ? C and 600 ? C) favored the cracking of oxygenates such as acids , aldehydes, ketones, furans and esters. Already the sample ratio Si / Ti = 50 had the highest yield of aromatic oxygenates / Nos ?ltimos anos, a ?rea de materiais tem avan?ado consideravelmente, principalmente, quando se trata de materiais para uso industrial, como ? o caso de catalisadores estruturados com porosidade adequada para os processos catal?ticos. O uso de catalisadores combinados ao processo de pir?lise r?pida ? uma alternativa para a produ??o de compostos oxigenados de alto valor agregado, pois, al?m de elevar o rendimento e qualidade dos produtos, permite manipular a seletividade para um produto de interesse e, portanto, permite um maior controle sobre as caracter?sticas do produto final. Com base nesses argumentos, neste trabalho foram preparados catalisadores de tit?nio suportados em MCM-41 para uso em pir?lise catal?tica da biomassa, denominada de capim elefante. As rea??es de pir?lise da biomassa foram realizadas em um micro pirolisador, Py-5200, acoplado ao GC/MS, da empresa CDS Corporation, sediada nos Estados Unidos. Os catalisadores Ti-MCM-41, em diferentes raz?es molares, foram caracterizados por DRX, TG/DTG, FT-IR, MEV, FRX, UV-Vis?vel, adsor??o de nitrog?nio, distribui??o de di?metro de part?culas e medidas de ?rea espec?fica pelo m?todo BET. A partir dos testes catal?ticos foi poss?vel observar que os catalisadores sintetizados apresentaram bons resultados para a rea??o de pir?lise. Entre os catalisadores Ti-MCM-41 (raz?es molares Si/Ti = 25 e 50), o de raz?o Si/Ti=25 (temperatura de 400?C e 600?C) favoreceu o craqueamento de compostos oxigenados, tais como, ?cidos, alde?dos, cetonas, furanos e ?steres.

Based on these trials, there was the need for some chemical change to vegetable oil. Among these chemical transformations, we can mention the cracking and transesterification. This work aims at conducting a study using the thermocatalytic and thermal cracking of sunflower oil, using the Al-MCM-41 catalyst. The material type mesoporous Al-MCM-41 was synthesized and characterized by Hydrothermical methods of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, absorption spectroscopy in the infrared and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG / DTG).The study was conducted on the thermogravimetric behavior of sunflower oil on the mesoporous catalyst cited. Activation energy, conversion, and oil degradation as a function of temperature were estimated based on the integral curves of thermogravimetric analysis and the kinetic method of Vyazovkin. The mesoporous material Al-MCM-41 showed one-dimensional hexagonal formation. The study of the kinetic behavior of sunflower oil with the catalyst showed a lower activation energy against the activation energy of pure sunflower oil. Two liquid fractions of sunflower oil were obtained, both in thermal and thermocatalytic pyrolisis. The first fraction obtained was called bio-oil and the second fraction obtained was called acid fraction. The acid fraction collected, in thermal and thermocatalytic pyrolisis, showed very high level of acidity, which is why it was called acid fraction. The first fraction was collected bio-called because it presented results in the range similar to petroleum diesel / O uso dos biocombust?veis remota ao s?culo XVIII, quando Rudolf Diesel realizou os primeiros ensaios utilizando o ?leo de amendoim como combust?vel em um motor de igni??o por compress?o. Com base nesses ensaios, constatou-se a necessidade de realizar algumas transforma??es qu?micas ao ?leo vegetal. Dentre essas transforma??es qu?micas, pode-se citar a transesterifica??o e o craqueamento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo, realizar um estudo utilizando-se o craqueamento t?rmico e termocatal?tico do ?leo de girassol, utilizando o Al-MCM-41 como catalisador.

Com base nas curvas integrais das an?lises termogravim?tricas e o m?todo cin?tico de Vyazovkin, foram estimados a energia de ativa??o, a convers?o e a degrada??o do ?leo em fun??o da temperatura. O material mesoporoso Al-MCM-41 apresentou forma??o hexagonal unidimensional. O estudo do comportamento cin?tico do ?leo de girassol com o catalisador mostrou uma menor energia de ativa??o frente ? energia de ativa??o do ?leo de girassol puro. Na pir?lise t?rmica e termocatal?tica do ?leo de girassol foram obtidas duas fra??es l?quidas. A primeira fra??o obtida foi denominada de bio?leo e a segunda fra??o obtida foi denominada de fra??o ?cida. A fra??o ?cida coletada tanto na pir?lise t?rmica como na termocatal?tica apresentou ?ndice de acidez muito elevado, raz?o pela qual foi denominada fra??o ?cida. A primeira fra??o coletada foi denominada de bio?leo porque apresentou resultados na faixa semelhante ao diesel de petr?leo

The complexes were synthesized for application in ethylene and propylene oligomerization and for comparing results between homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The support is first synthesized, calcined, anchored to the ligand, and then subsequent complexation of nickel is realized. These materials were characterized by several techniques such as 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR, small angle XRD, Infra-red, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, to confirm the success of the synthesis. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous complexes are active and selective for the reactions of ethylene and propylene oligomerization. The heterogenized materials were less active than the homogeneous analogous complexes in the reactions of oligomerization of ethylene, however, were more selective for both C4 fractions and for ?-C4. In reactions with propylene, the homogeneous complexes promoted the dimerization reaction and the heterogenized complexes the alkylation reaction of toluene with propylene complex.Complexes were tested in recycle reactions proved to be efficient for use in large scale.

[pt] A síntese de Fischer-Tropsch converte o gás de síntese (H2 + CO), em uma variedade complexa de hidrocarbonetos na presença de um catalisador (principalmente Co/Al2O3). Neste trabalho foram estudados catalisadores de Co e o Fe (1 e 5% em massa), incorporados aos suportes: zeólitas KL, HL 0,1M e HL 1,0 M, além da peneira molecular mesoporosa MCM- 41, pelo método de impregnação úmida incipiente, para a reação de Fischer- Tropsch. As amostras preparadas foram analisadas pelas técnicas de: Espectometria de Emissão Atômica de Plasma Acoplado Induzido, Adsorção Física de N2 pelo método BET, Difração de Raios-X, Redução com Temperatura Programada, Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (MET), Quimissorção de Hidrogênio e Espectroscopia no Infravermelho de piridina adsorvida. Além disso, as amostras foram avaliadas em um reator de leito fixo na reação de Fischer-Tropsch. Para as amostras de ferro, com mesmo teor e suportes diferentes, pode-se observar que a amostra suportada na MCM-41 apresentou um grau de redução menor. Entre as amostras de ferro suportadas na KL, a 5% Fe/KL apresentou maior grau de redução e foi observado por microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET) que as partículas de ferro apresentaram diâmetro em torno de 6 nm. Para as amostras de cobalto foi observado que a temperatura de redução da amostra suportada na MCM-41 foi mais alta. A amostra 5% Co/KL apresentou um maior grau de redução. Foi possível observar por MET que as partículas de cobalto apresentaram diâmetro variando entre 8 e 20 nm. Verificou-se que o catalisador com maior teor de ferro proporcionou uma maior conversão de CO, tendo sido a distribuição de produtos deslocada para as frações mais leves. Comparando os catalisadores de ferro suportados na zeólita KL e na MCM-41 pode-se concluir que as conversões são da mesma ordem de grandeza. Foi observado que o ferro foi mais ativo que o cobalto em termos de conversão do CO, sendo que o cobalto promoveu a formação de uma maior quantidade de produtos na faixa de diesel, assim como uma menor quantidade de leves. / [en] The Fischer- Tropsch synthesis converts the synthesis gas (H2 + CO), in a complex variety of hydrocarbons, using a catalyst (Co/Al2O3 normally) were introduced to the used supports by the wetness incipient impregnation. The samples were analyzed by several techniques such as: plasma- emission spectrometry (ICP- EAS), N2 physical adsorption by BET method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), hydrogen chemisorption and Infrared Spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. The catalysts were evaluated using a fixed bed reactor in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. For the iron samples, with the same metal content and different supports, it was observed that the MCM-41 sample presented the lowest reduction level. Among the iron samples supported in KL zeolite, the 5% Fe/KL sample presented the largest reduction level. It was observed by transmission electronic microscopy that the iron particles diameter measured around 6 nm. For the cobalt samples, it was observed that the reduction temperature of the MCM-41 supported was the highest one. The 5% Co/KL sample presented the largest reduction level. It was observed by TEM that the cobalt particles presented diameters in the range from 8 to 20 nm. It was verified that the catalyst with the largest iron percentage promoved the highest CO conversion. The products distribuition was shifted to light fractions. It was observed similar conversions to iron catalysts supported in the KL zeolite and in the MCM- 41 mesoporous molecular sieve. The iron catalysts were more active than the cobalt ones in the CO conversion, but tha cobalt catalysts promoted a higher content of diesel fraction and lesser light fractions.

In this work, mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 were modified with different rare earth ions (La, Eu e Yb) for the obtaining nanostrutured materials with catalytic properties. The catalysts were synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 100oC for 120 h, presenting, all the samples, in the gel of synthesis molar ratio Si/Ln = 50. The obtained materials after calcination at 500oC for 2 h were characterized by XRD, surface area BET, TG/DTG, FTIR, and hydrothermal stability at 700?C. The XRD analysis of the catalysts indicated that the materials containing rare earth presented characteristic hexagonal structure of the mesoporous materials of the type MCM-41. The TG curves showed that the decomposition of the structural template occurs in the materials at temperatures lower than 500oC. The samples presented variations as the specific superficial area, average diameter of pores and thickness of the silica wall, as a function of the nature of the rare earth impregnated in the mesoporous material. Hydrotermal stability was evaluated through the exposition of the materials to water vapour at 700?C.

The MCM-41 has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, on which aluminum was added, in the ratio Si/Al equal to 50, to increase the generation of active acid sites in the nanotubes. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area by the BET method and, the average pore volume BJH method using the N2 adsorption, absorption spectroscopy in the infrared Fourier Transform (FT-IR) and determination of surface acidity with application of a probe molecule - n-butylamine. The catalyst showed well-defined structural properties and consistent with the literature. The overall objective was to test the Al-MCM-41 as catalyst and thermogravimetric perform tests, using two samples of heavy oil with API ? equal to 14.0 and 18.5. Assays were performed using a temperature range of 30-900 ? C and heating ratios (&#946;) ranging from 5, 10 and 20 ?C min-1.The aim was to verify the thermogravimetric profiles of these oils when subjected to the action of the catalyst Al- MCM-41. Therefore, the percentage ranged catalyst applied 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 wt%, and from the TG data were applied two different kinetic models: Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) and Kissinger-Akahrira-Sunose (KAS).The apparent activation energies found for both models had similar values and were lower for the second event of mass loss known as cracking zone, indicating a more effective performance of Al-MCM-41 in that area. Furthermore, there was a more pronounced reduction in the value of activation energy for between 10 and 20% by weight of the oil-catalyst mixture.

Para tanto, variou-se o percentual de catalisador aplicado in situ: 1, 3, 5, 10 e 20% em massa e, a partir dos dados termogravim?tricos foram aplicados dois modelos cin?ticos diferentes: Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) e Kissinger- Akahrira-Sunose (KAS). As energias de ativa??o aparente encontradas para ambos os modelos tinham valores semelhantes e eram menores para o segundo evento de perda de massa conhecido como zona de craqueamento, indicando uma atua??o mais efetiva do Al-MCM-41 nessa zona. Al?m disso, constatou-se uma diminui??o mais acentuada no valor das energias de ativa??o para valores entre 10 e 20% em massa da mistura catalisador-?leo. Concluiu-se que o Al-MCM-41 possui aplicabilidade catal?tica em petr?leos pesados diminuindo a energia de ativa??o aparente de um sistema catalisador?leo, sendo o melhor resultado com 20% em massa de Al-MCM-41

Hydrogen is considered as an alternative clean energy source due to the depletion of fossil fuels and related environmental problems. Steam reforming of bio-ethanol, has excellent potential for hydrogen production, with CO2 neutrality. Ni, Pd and Pt are the most active metals for steam reforming of ethanol. Improving catalytic activity of supported Ni catalyst by incorporating small amount of Pd or Pt is a successful method for increasing activity and stability of the catalyst. Development of active and stable catalysts with low coke formation and high hydrogen yield attracted major attention of researchers in recent decades. MCM-41 supported bimetallic mesoporous catalytic materials containing well dispersed Ni and Pd nanoballs were synthesized following an impregnation procedure. TEM images and XRD analysis of these materials indicated the formation of nickel and palladium nanoballs of 15-25 nm and 5-8 nm respectively, within the synthesized materials. These materials have quite narrow pore-size distributions in the range of 1-5 nm. In the calcined materials, nickel was in Ni+3 and Ni+2 states, however in the reduced sample most of the nickel was in Nio state, together with some NiO. Formation of NiOx crystals takes place after the calcination step. Impregnation of palladium into Ni/MCM-41 caused a decrease in the reduction temperature of NiO for about 50oC. Activity of the catalytic materials were tested in the reaction of steam reforming of ethanol.all the catalysts showed high conversion and quite high hydrogen yield over 400 oC. PdNi impregnated MCM-41 supported catalysts showed higher conversion of ethanol but lower hydrogen yield than Ni impregnated catalysts due to methane formation in the case of Pd incorporation. However, MCM-41 does not show enough hydrothermal stability for steam reforming of ethanol reaction. SBA-15 has very similar physical properties of MCM-41 with larger pores and high hydrothermal stability. Ceria also has widespread applications in catalysis area with its excellent oxygen buffering capacity. It can be used as catalyst support and also an improving agent for silica supports. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 with ordered pore structure was synthesized following a hydrothermal procedure and then bimetallic Ni-Ce and Pd-Ni-Ce incorporated mesoporous silica catalysts were prepared and tested in steam reforming of ethanol. On the other hand, ceria enriched silica structures i.e cerium/silicate composites were also synthesized. However the syntheses were unsuccessful due to the thermal sintering of ceria. Addition of ceria to the support structure decreased coke formation significantly.. According to the thermal gravimetric analysis studies conducted after ethanol steam reformin reaction at 600 oC, coke formation with Ni-SBA-15 (Ni/Si=0.10) catalyst was 40% and it was 10% with NiCe-SBA-15 (Ni/Si=0.10, Ce/Si=0.50) Activity test results obtained with Ni incorporated silica catalysts in steam reforming of ethanol gave high hydrogen yield over 4 (max. 6) and complete conversion of ethanol at 600 oC. SBA-15 found to be more stable catalyst than MCM-41 in the steam reforming of ethanol reaction. The highest hydrogen yield values were achieved by AlMCM-41 supported Ni-Ce impregnated catalysts. Aluminum in the slica matrix (3% wt.) increased the catalytic activity significantly, by giving acidic properties to the catalyst. Simultaneous and consecutive Ni and Ce impregnation were also examined. AlMCM-41 supported, consecutively Ce and Ni impregnated catalysts with Ce/Si and Ni.Si molar ratio sof 0.10, showed very high catalytic activity (5.8 at the beginning). AlMCM-41 supported catalyst were less stable because of high activity and consequently coke formation.

A adição de um metal a sua estrutura tem como função gerar a acidez ao material o tornando mais reativo, aumentado assim a possibilidade do seu uso como catalisador na indústria do petróleo. Atualmente, um dos problemas encontrados pelos pesquisadores para obtenção desse tipo de peneira, é o longo tempo de formação das estruturas. No presente trabalho as peneiras moleculares mesoporosas MCM-41 e Al-MCM-41 foram sintetizadas utilizando dois processos hidrotermais, a tradicional e por micro-ondas, com o objetivo principal de reduzir o tempo de síntese do material. A peneira molecular MCM-41 foi sintetizada utilizando o processo hidrotermal tradicional, 100 oC por 48 horas , como também utilizando o processo hidrotermal de micro-ondas através de três metodologias, adotando diferentes tempos e temperaturas. Tomando como base os resultados obtidos com as sínteses da peneira molecular MCM-41 por meio do método hidrotermal de micro-ondas, os mesmos métodos foram aplicados para a peneira molecular Al-MCM-41 nas mesmas condições de tempo e temperatura. Através dos difratogramas foi possível perceber que a estrutura hexagonal foi formada. Verificouse que o melhor tempo de síntese da Al-MCM-41 se deu com 60 minutos a 130 oC. A partir destes dados, foram realizadas novas sínteses, reduzindo o tempo gradativamente. Os resultados das análises de DRX, MEV e FTIR comprovam que as peneiras moleculares mesoporosas foram formadas, sendo possível identificar sua estrutura e morfologia. Os melhores resultados de síntese para as peneiras moleculares mesoporosas MCM-41 e Al-MCM-41, foram nos tempos 60 e 40 minutos e temperatura de 130 oC, respectivamente. / The mesoporous molecular sieves have a hexagonal arrangement of mesopores with pore diameters ranging from 2 to 10 nm, which implies in a high surface area. The addition of a metal into these structures has the function of generating acidity in the material making it more reactive, increasing the possibility of using it as a catalyst into the oil industry. Nowadays, one of the problems found by researches to obtain these type of molecular sieves is the long time of structure formation taken by these materials. In this study, the mesoporous molecular sieves MCM - 41 and Al -MCM -41 were synthesized using two traditional microwave, with the primary goal of reducing the time of synthesis of the material hydrothermal processes. The molecular sieve MCM -41 was synthesized using the traditional hydrothermal process 100 °C for 48 hours , as well as hydrothermal process using microwave by three methods , adopting different times and temperatures . Based on the results obtained with the synthesis of molecular sieve MCM -41 by hydrothermal microwave method, the same methods were applied to the molecular sieve Al -MCM -41 under the same conditions of time and temperature. Through the DRX patterns was observed that the hexagonal structure was formed. It was found that the best time of synthesis of Al- MCM-41 was given 60 minutes at 130 oC. From these data, new syntheses were carried out by reducing the time gradually. The results of DRX, MEV and FTIR show that the mesoporous molecular sieves were formed, it is possible to identify their structure and morphology. The best results for the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves MCM - 41 and Al -MCM -41, were at times 60 and 40 minutes and temperatures of 130 °C, respectively.
