Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der katalytischen Umsetzung von oxygenierten Kohlenwasserstoffen in einem Strömungsrohrreaktor bei 500 °C an mikroporösem Alumosilicat ZSM-5, an dem mesoporösem Alumosilicat Al-MCM-41 sowie an deren Mischphasen. Anhand der katalytischen Untersuchungen ist es möglich, für verschiedene Anforderungen an das Produktspektrum Empfehlungen an die Eigenschaften des zu verwendeten Katalysatorsystems zu formulieren. Hierfür wurden Untersuchungen zum Einfluss relevanter Syntheseprozessparameter auf die Zusammensetzung von Al-MCM-41/ZSM-5-Mischphasen vorgenommen. Die Synthese solcher Mischphasen wurde über einen 'Zwei-Template/Ein-Schritt“-Ansatz durchgeführt, der es erlaubte, die an das Katalysatorsystem gestellten Anforderungen durch eine geeignete Wahl der Syntheseparameter zu genügen. Während der Synthese der Al-MCM-41/ZSM-5-Mischphasen beobachtet man drei sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden Vorgänge, die durch, in der wässrigen Syntheselösung vorliegende, alumosilicatische Komponenten miteinander verknüpft sind: Die Auflösung und anschließende Restrukturierung einer nicht-porösen amorphen Phase, die Auflösung und Restrukturierung einer mesoporösen Al-MCM-41-Phase und die Kristallisation einer mikroporösen ZSM-5-Phase. Durch die Erhöhung des Al-Anteils im Synthesegel werden die ZSM-5-Kristallisation verlangsamt und der Schwerpunkt des Gleichgewichts dieser drei Vorgänge für einen gegebenen Reaktionszeitpunkt in Richtung der Bildung der mesoporösen Al-MCM-41-Phase verlagert. Der Einfluss des, in das jeweilige Katalysatorsystem eingebauten Aluminiums auf die katalytische Umsetzung von Oxygenaten manifestiert sich für die beiden Alumosilicate ZSM¬ 5 und Al MCM-41 auf verschiedene Weise. Eine Erhöhung des Al-Anteils in einem mikroporösen ZSM-5-Katalysatorsystem begünstigt den Verlauf von bimolekularen Reaktionen. Dies äußert sich in einem verstärkten Auftreten von Paraffin-bildenden Raktionen wie die Wasserstoff-Transfer-Reaktionen und/oder die Carboniumionen-Spaltung sowie in einer Dominanz von Aromaten-bildenen Reaktionen wie die Cyclisierung mit anschließender Dehydrierung und Aromatisierung. Dieser Effekt kann bei einer Erhöhung des Al-Anteils in einem mesoporösen Al-MCM-41-Katalysatorsystem nur im geringen Maße beobachtet werden. Jedoch nimmt mit sinkendem Si/Al-Verhältnis in beiden Katalysatorsystemen der Anteil an Produkten mit drei oder vier Kohlenstoffatomen zu. Zudem kann dabei eine beginnende Unabhängigkeit des gebildeten Produktspektrums von der Kettenlänge und der funktionellen Gruppe des umgesetzten Oxygenats beobachtet werden.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einleitung und Problemstellung 1 2 Grundlagen 4 2.1 Hydrothermale Synthese von Alumosilicaten 4 2.1.1 WÄSSRIGE CHEMIE UND HYDROTHERMALE BEHANDLUNG VON ALUMOSILICATEN 4 2.1.2 STRUKTUR UND BILDUNGSMECHANISMUS VON AL-MCM-41 5 2.1.3 STRUKTUR UND BILDUNGSMECHANISMUS VON ZSM-5 6 2.2 Katalytische Spaltung von Kohlenwasserstoffen an Alumosilicaten 9 2.2.1 NATUR UND LOKALISIERUNG VON SÄUREZENTREN 9 2.2.2 KOHLENWASSERSTOFF-POOL-MECHANISMUS UND VERKOKUNG 10 3 Experimentelles Vorgehen und analytische Messverfahren 14 3.1 Syntheseroute zur Herstellung von Al MCM 41/ZSM 5-Mischphasen, Al MCM 41 und ZSM-5 14 3.1.1 AL MCM 41/ZSM 5 MISCHPHASEN 14 3.1.2 AL-MCM-41 17 3.1.3 ZSM-5 17 3.2 Datenerhebung und -auswertung relevanter physikalisch-chemischer und festkörperanalytischer Charakterisierungsmethoden 17 3.2.1 PULVER-RÖNTGENDIFFRAKTOMETRIE 17 3.2.2 N2-PHYSISORPTION 19 3.2.3 TEMPERATUR-PROGRAMMIERTE AMMONIAK-DESORPTION 21 3.2.4 ELEMENTARANALYSE 23 3.2.5 27AL MAS NMR 24 3.2.6 THERMOGRAVIMETRISCHE ANALYSE 25 3.3 Katalytische Austestung und Analyse der Messdaten 26 3.3.1 VERSUCHSDURCHFÜHRUNG 26 3.3.2 ANALYSE UND AUSWERTUNG KATALYTISCHER MESSDATEN 27 3.3.3 DURCHGEFÜHRTE KATALYTISCHE TESTMESSUNGEN 29 4 Untersuchungen zum Bildungsmechanismus von Al MCM 41/ZSM 5-Mischphasen 33 4.1 Mechanistische Deutung 33 4.1.1 VORBETRACHTUNG 33 4.1.2 REAKTIONSABLAUF 34 4.1.3 UNTERSUCHUNG DER MESOPOROSITÄT 39 4.1.4 MORPHOLOGISCHE BETRACHTUNG 43 4.2 Wechselwirkungen der „Beeinflussungsfaktoren“ 45 4.2.1 EFFEKT VERSCHIEDENER AUTOKLAV-TYPEN 45 4.2.2 EFFEKT DES AL-ANTEILS IM SYNTHESEGEL 48 4.2.3 SYMBIOTISCHE EINFLUSSNAHME VON ALUMINIUM UND TENSIDEN 50 5 Charakterisierung verwendeter Katalysatormaterialien 52 5.1 ZSM-5 52 5.2 Al-MCM-41 57 5.3 Physikalische Mischungen aus Al-MCM-41 und ZSM-5 60 6 Katalytisches Spalten von Oxygenaten an ZSM 5 64 6.1 Katalytisches Spalten von Alkohol-Oxygenaten an ZSM 5 in Abhängigkeit des Si/Al Verhältnisses 64 6.1.1 PRODUKTANALYSE ANHAND DER KOHLENSTOFFANZAHL IM PRODUKTMOLEKÜL 65 6.1.2 PRODUKTANALYSE ANHAND EINZELNER STOFFGRUPPEN 68 6.2 Katalytisches Spalten von Carbonyl-Oxygenaten an ZSM 5 in Abhängigkeit des Si/Al Verhältnisses 71 6.2.1 PRODUKTANALYSE ANHAND DER KOHLENSTOFFANZAHL IM PRODUKTMOLEKÜL 72 6.2.2 PRODUKTANALYSE ANHAND EINZELNER STOFFGRUPPEN 76 6.3 Ableitung eines Kohlenwasserstoff-Pool Mechanismus zur Beschreibung des katalytischen Spaltens von Oxygenaten an ZSM 5 80 6.3.1 VEREINHEITLICHUNG DES OXYGENAT FEEDS ÜBER DESSEN DEOXYGENIERUNG 81 6.3.2 ASSIMILATION KURZKETTIGER OLEFINE DURCH EINEN KATALYTISCH AKTIVEN BEREICH 83 6.3.3 EINFLUSS DES PORENSYSTEMS UND AL-ANTEILS IM KATALYSATORSYSTEMS 85 6.3.4 BESCHREIBUNG DER PRODUKTBILDUNG EINZELNER STOFFGRUPPEN IN ABHÄNGIGKEIT WESENTLICHER REAKTIONSBEDINGUNGEN 87 7 Katalytisches Spalten von Triacylglyceriden an Al MCM 41 und physikalischen Mischungen aus Al-MCM-41 und ZSM-5 92 7.1 Gegenüberstellung des katalytischen Spaltens von Ethyloctanoat an Al MCM 41 und ZSM 5 in Abhängigkeit des Si/Al Verhältnisses 92 7.2 Anwendung des Kohlenwasserstoff-Pool Mechanismus zur Beschreibung des katalytischen Spaltens von Triacylglyceriden an physikalischen Mischungen aus Al MCM-41 und ZSM-5 97 7.3 Synthese-Struktur-Wirkungsprinzip 103 8 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 106 Literatur 112 Abbildungsverzeichnis 127 Tabellenverzeichnis 139 Abkürzungsverzeichnis 141 Anhang 142 Veröffentlichungen 165 Eidesstattliche Erklärung 168

La double fonctionnalisation de la surface d'une silice mésostructurée de type MCM-41 (LUS) a été étudiée, en utilisant une nouvelle technique de "pochoir moléculaire" conduisant à une distribution régulière des fonctions. C'est un procédé de greffage séquentiel qui met en œuvre dans la 1ère étape un principe de rétention du tensioactif assurant la régularité spatiale des groupements à greffer. La 2nde fonctionnalisation par organosilylation est réalisée avec déplacement du reste du tensioactif. <br />Des complexes polyammino biosinspirés de cuivre et d'europium ont été greffés dans des silices mésoporeuses LUS en utilisant cette approche. Les caractérisations effectuées à chaque étape de synthèse en utilisant un panel de techniques (dont XRD, N2-adsorption-desorption, 13C et 29Si MAS-RMN, FT-IR, RPE, EXAFS et MET) confirment l'intégrité de la structure poreuse, la formation des complexes et l'homogénéité de la distribution des fonctions.

Le contrôle fin de la structure et de la chimie de surface en milieu confiné a été développé dans des silices poreuses mésostucturées de type MCM-41 pour synthétiser des catalyseurs hétérogènes combinant confinement moléculaire, hydrophobicité et spécificité de sites à l'instar des métalloprotéines. La surface considérée comme lisse a en fait une rugosité de type alvéolaire due à l'empreinte de la tête ammonium du tensioactif de synthèse. Pour des températures croissantes du traitement hydrothermal, la taille des mésopores augmente par érosion de cette rugosité puis diminue par épaississement des parois. On a aussi trouvé des conditions de synthèse de zéolihes mésoporeuses avec une micro- et mésoporosité hiérarchisée. Ces surfaces sont polyfonctionnalisées grâce à la technique de pochoir moléculaire pour isoler des fonctions bidentatés aminoéthylaminopropyles par des groupements hydrophobes triméthylsimyles. Les ions cuivriques sont alors retenus dans le matériau par complexation à ces fonctions diamino.

Confining walls induce qualitative changes in adsorbed fluids. Among the most intriguing phenomena is hysteresis, where a pore fills with fluid at a greater pressure than it empties. The causes and mechanisms by which this occurs are intensely investigated yet still poorly understood. Ordered mesoporous silicas, recently discovered materials with well-defined pore size distributions, provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the fundamental physics of the interaction of fluids with complex solids.In part of this computational investigation we examine idealized pores. In agreement with other recent studies, we find that in 'inkbottle'-shaped pores, where a large cavity is accessible to the bulk fluid only by constrictions, there is no evidence of the long-hypothesized phenomenon of `pore blocking', where the constrictions inhibit fluid desorption from the cavity. We find that even in these simple systems the mechanism of hysteresis depends on pore characteristics, fluid properties and external conditions.For silicas containing cylindrical holes of nearly uniform diameter, such as MCM-41, the state-of-the-art is to consider only a single pore, but the poor qualitative agreement of theoretical with experimental results has improved little as wall representations of increasing sophistication have been developed. Using only a one-dimensional potential, we reproduce features of isotherms, including in the hysteresis region, by averaging over a narrow distribution of pore sizes. The qualitative behavior is shown to be a collective phenomenon not representative of any individual pore. Adding surface roughness and a constriction to the pores yields results quantitatively nearly indistinguishable from experiments.For materials larger than MCM-41, a continuum simulation proves too computationally taxing. Thus, a lattice model with adjustable fineness of site spacing is developed. It is found that a surprisingly low level of fineness is needed for confined systems to closely approximate continuum results. This model is applied to cubically symmetric materials, such as MCM-48 and SBA-16, finding that simulations are able to reproduce much of the qualitative behavior seen experimentally, but the lack of existing knowledge of the nature of silica walls proves to be a limiting factor.

Fast depletion of oil reserves necessitates the development of novel alternative motor vehicle fuels. Global warming problems also initiated new research to develop new fuels creating less CO2 emission. Nowadays, dimethyl ether (DME) and diethyl ether (DEE) are considered as important alternative clean energy sources. These valuable ethers are produced by the dehydration reaction of methanol and ethanol, respectively, in the presence of acidic catalysts. Besides DEE, ethylene which is very important in petrochemical industry, can also be produced by ethanol dehydration reaction. In the first part of this study, the catalytic activity of tungstophosphoric acid (TPA), silicotungstic acid (STA) and molybdophosphoric acid (MPA), which are well-known heteropolyacids were tested in ethanol dehydration reaction. The activities of other solid acid catalysts, such as Nafion and mesoporous aluminosilicate, were also tested in the dehydration reaction of ethanol. In the case of DME production by dehydration of methanol, activities of STA, TPA and aluminosilicate catalysts were tested. Among the heteropolyacid catalysts, STA showed the highest activity in both ethanol and methanol dehydration reactions. With an increase of temperature from 180oC to 250oC, Ethylene selectivities increased while DEE selectivities decreased. Ethylene yield values over 0.70 were obtained at 250oC. The presence of water in the feed stream caused some reduction in the activity of TPA catalyst. Very high DME yields were obtained using mesoporous aluminosilicate catalyst at about 450oC. The surface area of heteropolyacids are very low and they are soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. Considering these drawbacks of heteropolyacid catalysts, novel mesoporous STA based high surface area catalysts were synthesized following a hydrothermal synthesis route. These novel catalysts were highly stable and they did not dissolve in polar solvents. The catalysts containing W/Si ratios of 0.19 (STA62(550)) and 0.34 (STA82(550)) have BJH surface area values of 481 m2/g and 210 m2/g, respectively, with pore size distributions ranging in between 2-15 nm. These catalysts were characterized by XRD, EDS, SEM, TGA, DTA, DSC, FTIR and Nitrogen Adsorption techniques and their activities were tested in ethanol dehydration reaction. Calcination temperature of the catalysts was shown to be a very important parameter for the activities of these catalysts. Considering the partial decomposition and proton lost of the catalysts over 375oC, they are calcined at 350oC and 550oC before testing them in ethanol dehydration reaction. The catalysts calcined at 350oC showed much higher activity at temperature as low as 180oC. However, the catalysts calcined at 550oC showed activity over 280oC. Ethylene yield values approaching to 0.90 were obtained at about 350oC with catalysts calcined at 350oC. DEE yield past through a maximum with an increase in temperature indicating its decomposition to Ethylene at higher temperatures. However, at lower temperatures (&lt / 300oC) Ethylene and DEE were concluded to be formed through parallel routes. Formation of some acetaldehyde at lower temperatures indicated a possible reaction path through acetaldehyde in the formation of DEE. DRIFTS results also proved the presence of ethoxy, acetate and ethyl like species in addition to adsorbed ethanol molecules on the catalyst surface and gave additional information related to the mechanism.

Plastic materials are widely used throughout the world due to their low prices and easy processing methods. A serious problem of environmental pollution is brought with the widespread use of these materials due to their non-biodegradabilty. For this reason, plastic materials are degraded into lower molecular weight liquid and gaseous products which are potential raw materials and fuels for petrochemical industry. The use of catalysts enhances the formation of more valuable hydrocarbons at lower reaction temperatures and residence times. In this study, aluminum containing MCM-41 and tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) loaded SBA-15 materials were synthesized by impregnation of Al and TPA into hydrothermally synthesized MCM-41 and SBA-15, respectively to be used in catalytic degradation of polyethylene. Al was incorporated into MCM-41 framework with different Al/Si ratios using aluminum triisopropylate as the aluminum source and TPA was incorporated to the porous framework of SBA-15 with different W/Si ratios, using tungstophosphoric acid hydrate as the acid source. From XRD analysis, it was observed that introducing acidic compounds did not cause deformations in the regularity and by EDS analysis, it was found out that at lower loadings, acidic compounds were introduced more effectively for MCM-41 materials. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that the synthesized materials exhibited type IV isotherms. SEM and TEM pictures showed the hexagonal regularly ordered structure of SBA-15 and MCM-41 materials. FTIR analysis of the pyridine adsorbed synthesized materials revealed the existence of Lewis and Br&oslash / nsted acid sites in the synthesized materials. From TGA analysis it was observed that aluminum impregnated MCM-41 samples reduced the temperature of the degradation reaction significantly and TPA loaded SBA-15 samples reduced activation energy of the reaction effectively. In the degradation reaction system, non-catalytic and catalytic degradation experiments of polyethylene were performed. In non-catalytic degradation and catalytic degradation reactions carried out using aluminum containing MCM-41 materials, selectivity of C3 and C4 hydrocarbon gases was high and in catalytic degradation reactions carried out using TPA impregnated SBA-15 materials, selectivity of ethylene was high. In the liquid analysis of non-catalytic degradation reactions, it was observed that the product distribution was mainly composed of hydrocarbons greater than C18. The use of aluminum loaded MCM-41 and TPA loaded SBA-15 materials resulted in a liquid product distribution in the range of C5-C14, which is the hydrocarbon range of gasoline fuel.

Surface polarity and catalytic activity of inorganic solid acids The objective of this work is to quantify solvent influence on the surface polarity and catalytic activity of inorganic solid acids. Kamlet-Taft`s a (hydrogen-bond acidity), b (hydrogen-bond accepting ability) and p* (dipolarity/polarizability) parameters of various silicas, alumina, aluminosilicate, zeolites HZSM-5 and HY as well as of a siliceous MCM-41 material were determined using solvatochromic surface polarity indicators, which have been adsorbed on the solid acids from solvents of different polarity. The surface-mediated hydride-transfer reaction of 1,4-cyclohexadiene with triphenylmethylium induced by the solid acid catalysts, respectively, has been kinetically studied as function of the polarity of the surrounding solvent. The relative rate constant k? has been determined in ten different solvents. Correlation analyses between lg k? and the polarity parameters a, b, and p* of the solvents as well as of the catalysts surfaces are shown and discussed. Acid-base-interactions between solvent and catalyst mainly influence the reactivity and surface polarity of the solid acids. / Oberflächenpolarität und katalytische Aktivität anorganischer Feststoffsäuren Ein zentrales Anliegen der Arbeit ist die Quantifizierung des Lösungsmitteleinflusses auf die Oberflächenpolarität und die katalytische Aktivität anorganischer Feststoffsäuren. Die Oberflächenpolaritätsparameter a (Acidität), b (Basizität) und p* (Dipolarität/Polarisierbarkeit) von unterschiedlichen Kieselgelen und Zeolithen sowie von je einem Aluminiumoxid und Alumosilikat werden mittels solvatochromer Sondenmoleküle in Lösungsmitteln verschiedener Polarität bestimmt. Für die Hydridionenübertragung von 1,4-Cyclohexadien auf oberflächengeneriertes Triphenylmethylium wird in den genannten Fest-/Flüssig-Systemen die katalytische Aktivität untersucht und dazu die für den Katalysator normierte Geschwindigkeitskonstante k? [s-1m-2] ermittelt. Korrelationsanalysen zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen lg k? und den Parametern a, b und p* der Lösungsmittel bzw. Feststoffoberflächen auf und werden diskutiert. Säure-Base-Wechselwirkungen zwischen Lösungsmittel und Katalysator sowie Solvatationseffekte haben einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf Reaktivität und Oberflächenpolarität. In Bezug auf Diffusionsvorgänge und Aktivierungsenergien spielt die Morphologie der Feststoffsäuren eine wichtige Rolle, wie beim Vergleich zwischen nanoporösem silikatischem MCM-41 und konventionellen Kieselsäuren festgestellt wird.

The active sites for epoxydation of alkenes in silica supported titanium catalysts are isolated Ti(IV) ions. The strategy for site isolation consists here to graft titanium isopropoxyde by reaction with surface silanol groups, the density of which is decreased by chemical capping instead of the energy consuming thermal treatment. The molecular stencil patterning technique (MSP) is applied to enforce site isolation. In mesostructured porous silicas, the partly extracted templating surfactant plays the role of a MSP mask during capping. Then, the elimination of the remaining surfactant liberates silanol islands for the grafting of Ti(IV) ions. Quantitative FT-IR and 29Si MAS-NMR studies reveal that the inverse organic stencil made of grafted organosilyls groups is maintained at each synthesis steps. Diffuse reflectance UV spectroscopy in correlation with the catalytic activity in epoxidation of cyclohexene show that these original surfaces favor the formation of a much larger number of isolated mononuclear sites than the unmodified silica surfaces. The demonstration is obtained using a dipodal organosilyl function, 1-2-ethanebis (dimethylsilyl) (EBDMS) that is much more stable than the classic and monopodal, trimethylsilyl (TMS). Besides, it is shown that the inverse organic stencil (from EBDMS or TMS) is stabilized further by thermal treatment while its dispersive effect on titanium can be preserved. The proof relies on a quantitative 29Si solid State NMR study. Finally, a refined description of the grafting mode of titanium was realized by simulation of the UV spectra of a large series of catalysts assuming only 5 different types of species including isolated species and clusters differentiated by the range of sizes.

Discovery of mesoporous materials by Mobil researchers in 1992 opened a new field in catalytic applications. The materials designated as M41S family are MCM-41 with one-dimensional hexagonal structure, MCM-48 with three-dimensional cubic structure and MCM-51 with unstable lamellar structure. This family of materials have high surface areas up to 1500 m2/g, narrow pore size distributions with pore sizes varying from 20 to 100 &Aring / . These materials can be activated by incorporation of metals or active compounds into their structures. In this study, copper and nickel incorporated MCM-41 type catalytic materials were synthesized via different methods namely, impregnation, high temperature and low temperature direct synthesis methods. The Cu-MCM-41, and Ni-MCM-41, as well as synthesized MCM-41 were characterized by using XRD, TEM, N2 sorption, SEM, XRF, EDS, AAS and TPR. MCM-41 was synthesized with high temperature direct synthesis method. High surface area values up to 1400 m2/g of MCM-41 mesoporous materials were obtained with high pore volumes up to 1.17 cc/g. Cu-MCM-41 type catalytic materials were synthesized with three different methods. Impregnation and high temperature direct synthesis methods gave better results than those of low temperature direct synthesis method. In impregnation, relatively high surface area values (730 m2/g) were obtained with Cu/Si mole ratio as high as 0.3 in the product. For the case of high temperature direct synthesis products, Cu/Si mole ratios as high as 0.26 were obtained with somewhat smaller surface areas (400 m2/g). Low temperature direct synthesis method is the least favorable method in metal loading. Ni-MCM-41 type of catalytic materials were synthesized by impregnation and high temperature direct syntheses methods. Ni incorporation by high temperature direct synthesis method gave high surface area values (560-930 m2/g) having Ni/Si mole ratios of 0.12-0.28.
