Les matériaux à base de vanadium sont largement utilisés comme catalyseurs pour l'oxydation de composés organiques. Les propriétés catalytiques des catalyseurs au vanadium pour l'oxydation dépendent de l'état et de la stabilité des espèces de vanadium. Dans cette étude, nous développons des nouveaux catalyseurs hétérogènes au vanadium pour la réaction d’oxydation.Dans la première partie du travail, les matériaux mésoporeux à base de silice (MCM-41) contenant du Al (III) et du Ti (IV) sont envisagés comme supports. L'effet d'ancrage chimique de ces hétéroatomes sur les ions V (V) et leur dispersion dans la silice MCM- 41 ont été étudiés à l'aide d'une analyse quantitative des spectres UV-visible de réflectance diffuse. En complément, les matériaux ont été caractérisés par diffraction des rayons X (DRX), mesure de sorption d’azote, spectroscopie de résonance magnétique électrique (RPE) et la spectroscopie Raman. Les spectres UV-visible des échantillons hydratés et déshydratés mettent en évidence la coexistence de plusieurs espèces V (V) de différente nucléarité et différent taux d'hydratation. Le décalage vers le bleu de la bande UV des échantillons contenant comme des additifs les ions Al(III) ou Ti(IV) est cohérent avec une meilleure dispersion des ions vanadium présentant entre autres plus d’espèces mononucléaires (isolées). L'effet bénéfique du titane sur la dispersion de vanadium est compatible avec la formation directe de ponts covalents de type Ti-O-V.Dans la seconde partie, les ions V(IV) ont été déposés sur des matériaux mésoporeux à base de silice en utilisant une nouvelle stratégie dite de pochoir moléculaire ou « Molecular-Stencil Patterning ». La stratégie de pochoir moléculaire s’applique à la silice contenant des tensioactifs ioniques en utilisant ces derniers comme agent de masquage lors du greffage covalent de diverses fonctions. Cette stratégie de surface moléculaire permet de contrôler à la fois le voisinage moléculaire et la dispersion à longue distance des espèces de vanadium entre elles. La caractérisation a été effectuée en utilisant plusieurs méthodes telles l’analyse thermogravimétrique (ATG), la spectroscopie de résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN), la spectroscopie infrarouge (IR) et la spectroscopie UV-visible. L'incorporation des ions titane (IV) joue le rôle d’ancre chimique pour les ions V(IV) comme dans le chapitre précédent. Il est montré qu’une proportion de V/Ti inférieure à un et proche de trois génère les meilleures conditions pour éviter la formation de gros agrégats d’oxyde de vanadium.Enfin, ces nouveaux matériaux au vanadium ont été testés en phase liquide pour catalyser l'oxydation partielle du cyclohexane en une huile désignée par son rapport molaire K/A de cyclohexanone (K) et de cyclohexanol (A). Ce mélange est utilisé comme telle en chimie industrielle de base, an particulier comme précurseurs de l'acide adipique et de caprolactame pour la synthèse du nylon. Les tests ont démontré que l’introduction de titane combiné à la stratégie de pochoir moléculaire a notablement amélioré les propriétés catalytiques de ce type de catalyseurs au vanadium.En conclusion, la silice MCM-41 au vanadium a été conçu par l’introduction des hétéroatomes d'ancrage et de la stratégie de pochoir moléculaire, afin d'améliorer la dispersion et la stabilité des sites actifs. Les matériaux conçus ont montré de meilleures propriétés et caractéristiques catalytiques dans divers caractérisation et la réaction d'oxydation. / Vanadium-based materials are widely used as catalysts for oxidation of organic compounds. The catalytic properties of vanadium catalysts for oxidation are related closely to the state and the stability of vanadium species. Therefore, a series of vanadium-containing MCM-41 silica were designed and developed in this study, and their catalytic application for oxidation reactions was evaluated as well.In the first part of work, the chemical anchoring effect of Al(III) or Ti(IV) heteroatoms on the dispersion of V (V) in MCM-41 type silica was investigated using a quantitative analysis of diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectra. The characteristic properties of prepared materials were determined by various characterization such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 sorption measurement, Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. UV-visible spectra of hydrated and dehydrated samples evidenced the coexistence of several V(V) species of different oligomerization and hydration levels. The global blue shift of the band in the presence of Al(III) or Ti(IV) additives was then assigned to a higher proportion of less clustered and isolated V(V) species. The stronger beneficial effect of Ti on the vanadium dispersion is consistent with a higher stability of the X-O-V bridges moving from X = Si to X = Al and Ti. In the second part, new mesoporous silica materials containing vanadium species were synthesized according to the molecular stencil patterning technique. Molecular stencil patterning is developed specifically for silica templated with ionic surfactants used as masking agent to sequentially immobilize via covalent bonding (grafting) different functions. This molecular surface engineering was proved to improve the vanadium species dispersion according to Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The incorporation of titanium species played again the role to immobilize the vanadium species as the results in previous work. The V/Ti ratio should be less than 1 to control the formation of clusters of vanadium species.Lastly, the vanadium-containing materials were applied to the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane into cyclohexanol (A) and cyclohexanone (K). A mixture of these two products is often called K/A oil in the industrial chemical production. K/A oil is widely used as a raw material for adipic acid and caprolactam in the nylon industry. The catalysis results proved that the modification by adding titanium chemical anchors combined with the MSP technique improve the catalytic properties of vanadium-containing heterogeneous catalysts.In conclusion, the dispersion and stability of vanadium active sites has been improved in new syntheses of vanadium-containing MCM-41 type silica by combining both anchoring heteroatoms and molecular stencil patterning techniques. Such a novel design leads to better catalytic performance in oxidation reaction in correlation with the structural and physical characteristics of the material.

Due to this property these materials are widely usedin Chemical-Looping Reforming processes to produce H2 and syngas. In this work supports based on MCM-41 and La-SiO2 were synthesized by hydrothermal method. After the synthesis step they were calcined at 550?C for 2 hours and characterized by TG, XRD, surface area using the BET method and FTIR spectroscopy. The deposition of active phase, in this case Nickel, took place in the proportions of 5, 10 and 20% by weight of metallic nickel, for use as oxygen carriers.The XRD showed that increasing in the content of Ni supported on MCM-41 resulted in a decrease in spatial structure and lattice parameter of the material. The adsorption and desorption curves of the MCM-41 samples exhibited variations with the increase of Ni deposited. Surface area, average pore diameter and wall density of silica showed significant changes , due to the increase of the active phase on the mesoporous material. By other hand, in the samples with La-SiO2 composition was not observed peaks characteristic of hexagonal structure, in the XRD diffractogram. The adsorption/desorption isotherms of nitrogen observed are type IV, characteristic of mesoporous materials. The catalytic test indicates that the supports have no influence in the process, but the nickel concentration is very important, because the results for minor concentration of nickel are not good. The ratio H2/O2 was close to 2, for all 15 cycles involving the test storage capacity of O2, indicating that the materials are effective for oxygen transport / Transportadores de oxig?nio s?o ?xidos met?licos que possuem a capacidade de oxidar e reduzir facilmente por diversos ciclos.

Neste trabalho foram sintetizados os suportes MCM-41 e La-SiO2 pelo o m?todo hidrot?rmico.

As an?lises de DRX mostraram que o aumento do teor de Ni suportado em MCM-41 deu origem a uma diminui??o no ordenamento estrutural e no par?metro de rede do material. As amostras MCM-41 apresentaram varia??es quanto ?s curvas de adsor??o/dessor??o de nitrog?nio, ?rea superficial, di?metro m?dio de poros e espessura da parede de s?lica, em fun??o do aumento da fase ativa no material mesoporoso.

Entretanto, as curvas de adsor??o/dessor??o de nitrog?nio observadas s?o do tipo IV, caracter?stico de materiais mesoporosos. Os resultados dos testes dos transportadores indicam que o suporte n?o influenciou no processo catal?tico. A raz?o H2/O2 foi pr?xima de 2, durante todos os 15 ciclos envolvendo o teste de capacidade de armazenamento de O2 , indicando que os materiais s?o eficientes para o transporte de oxig?nio estrutural e no par?metro de rede do material.

Este trabajo ha sido realizado en el contexto de los proyectos de MAT 2002-03808 y MAT 2002-02158, financiados por la Dirección General de Investigación del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (MCyT). Se han sintetizado y caracterizado catalizadores Rh-soportado (sólo o promovido con Sn) utilizando diferentes tipos de soportes. Como soportes de catalizadores se utilizaron tanto materiales microporosos, silicatos laminares (bentonitas) de distinta procedencia y bentonitas modificadas mediante la introducción de pilares (PILC's) o transformadas en productos zeolíticos; como materiales mesoporosos, MCM-41, con una o dos fuentes de Silicio. Los mencionados catalizadores han sido aplicados en la hidrogenación de crotonaldehído, en fase gaseosa y condiciones suaves, de alto interés tanto académico como industrial en química fina, farmacéutica y alimentaria. Se han analizado y discutido la actividad/selectividad en relación con las diferentes características de los soportes y las distintas condiciones de trabajo como: temperatura de reducción del Rh, temperaturas de reacción, y presencia de estaño como promotor. Se han caracterizado los soportes y catalizadores mediante diferentes técnicas instrumentales UV-Vis, espectroscopia IR, ATG/DTG, DRX, isotermas de adsorción-desorción de N2, quimisorción de O2/H2, quimisorción de NH3, adsorción-desorción de piridina mediante espectroscopia IR-TF, XPS y se utilizó la Cromatografia de gases para la hidrogenación de crotonaldehído. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que tanto las arcillas de partida como las modificadas (con pilares o bien transformada en zeolitas) y materiales MCM-41, han resultado soportes idóneos para la formación de catalizadores heterogéneos de Rh y de Rh promovido con Sn, habiéndose generado, por tanto, nuevos materiales de alto valor añadido para el caso de las arcillas modificadas y nuevos retos de aplicación para los nuevos nanomateriales MCM-41. Así mismo se constata que la adición de Sn como promotor, modifica la conversión a todas las temperaturas de reacción, obteniéndose para todos los catalizadores, mayor selectividad hacia alcohol crotílico que en ausencia de Sn. En resumen, a lo largo de este trabajo se han logrado preparar catalizadores metal soportados utilizando unos nuevos soportes de catalizadores que muestran, generalmente, alta selectividad hacia alcohol crotílico en la hidrogenación de crotonaldehído, en condiciones suaves y a presión atmosférica, condiciones usuales de trabajo en la industria de química fina, farmacéutica y alimentaria, donde time mayor repercusión la aplicación de la reacción estudiada. / This work has been performed within the projects MAT 2002-03808 and MAT 2002-02158, financed by the DGESIC (Dirección General de Enseñanza Superior e Investigación y Ciencia) and CICYT (Comisión de Investigación Científica y Técnica), respectively.An Rh-supported catalyst (alone or promoted with Sn) has been synthesized and characterized using different types of supports. Aluminum silicate (clay) of different origins and clay modified by introduction of pillars (PILC's) or transformed into zeolytic products were used as microporous materials. MCM-41 (with one or two Silicon sources) was used as mesoporous materials. The catalyst has been applied in the hydrogenation of cortonaldehyde in gaseous phase and mild conditions. These have high academic and industrial interest. Activity and selectivity of catalysts have been analyzed at different conditions of work like: temperature of reduction of the Rh, temperatures of reaction and tin presence as promoter.These supports (micro and mesoporous materials) and catalysts have been characterized using different technical instruments: UV-Vis, spectroscopy IR, ATG/DTG, XRD, isotherms of adsorption-desorption of N2, chemisorptions of O2/H2, chemisorptions of NH3, adsorption-desorption of pyridine by DRIFTS, XPS and hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde by Gas Chromatography. The results obtained show that the natural clay material, as modified (with incorporation of pillars or transformed into zeolites), and materials MCM-41, have been good supports to the formation of heterogeneous catalysts of Rh and Rh promoted with Sn, having generated new materials of high value in the case of modified clays and raises new challenges of application for nanomaterials MCM-41. Also observed is that the addition of Sn as promoter was modifying the conversion at all temperatures of reaction, obtaining for all the catalysts greater selectivity to crotyl alcohol than without tin (Sn).In summary, throughout this work, we have been able to prepare and obtain metal supported catalysts using new supports of catalysts that show great selectivity towards crotyl alcohol in the hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde in mild conditions and atmospheric pressure. This is a very important reaction in the production of many pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fragrance compounds, having great repurcussion on the application of the studied reaction and attracting much interest in fundamental research in catalysis.

Pre-defined synthesis parameters were 100?C for 168 hours, later the precursor was calcinated at 550?C for 2 hours under nitrogen and air flow. The sieves containing different proportions of iron were produced by two routes: introduction of iron salt direct synthesis; and a modification post synthesis consisting in iron salt 1 % and 5% impregnation in the material followed by thermal decomposition. The molecular sieves were characterized by X ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, X ray fluorescence spectroscopy XFR, scanning electronic microscopy SEM, specific surface area using the BET method, Termogravimetry TG. The kinetic model of Flynn Wall was used with the aim of determining the apparent activation energy of the surfactant remove (CTMABr) in the MCM- 41 porous.

A peneira molecular MCM-41 apresenta potencial para processamento de ácidos graxos visando a produção de biodiesel, por controle da composição química e por tratamentos químicos posterior a sua síntese. A inserção de óxidos metálicos pode proporcionar um aumento no desempenho catalítico da peneira molecular, possibilitando a preparação de catalisadores com maior atividade, seletividade e estabilidade térmica. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal a obtenção de biodiesel a partir da reação de transesterificação do óleo de soja utilizando o catalisador MoO3/25CeO2/MCM-41. Para tal afinidade, a peneira molecular foi preparada partindo-se de um gel com a seguinte composição molar da mistura reacional: 1SiO2 : 0,30 CTABr : 11 NH3 : 144 H2O. A incorporação do cério e molibdênio (em peso) no suporte MCM-41 foi por via seca. Através dos difratogramas foi possível identificar os picos característicos da peneira molecular MCM-41, como também as fases dos óxidos de cério e molibdênio na estrutura da peneira molecular, confirmando os processos de impregnação.

For this, the materials were synthesized by hydrothermal method and mechanosynthesis. The materials were characterized by XRD, absorption spectroscopy in the infrared, thermal analysis, adsorption-desorption analysis of N2 A 77 K, SEM and TEM. The CO2 adsorption capacity of these materials were investigated by gravimetric analysis. The results obtained from the characterization techniques showed that the synthesis methodology, used for desilication phase of ZSM-12, was efficient in obtaining a composite material with integrated micro and mesoporous phases. On the other hand, the results showed that by mechanosynthesis was possible to obtain materials formed by mixing between the micro and mesoporous phases. Also, comparing the results of adsorption CO2 the obtained composite materials by hydrothermal method with those obtained by mechanosynthesis it was concluded that the adsorption capacity is influenced by crystallinity and amount of the phase ZSM-12. The results showed from adsorption, in general, ZM48-75 samples, ZM41 A/MH R3 and ZM41-50 showed higher adsorption capacity than pure zeolitic and mesoporous materials, respectively.

Nos últimos anos, várias pesquisas têm por finalidade o desenvolvimento de novos métodos e tecnologias para captura e separação de CO2. A utilização do método de adsorção para separação de CO2 é uma alternativa promissora, tendo em vista o potencial para reduzir os custos energéticos, eliminando soluções aquosas e proporcionando captura e taxa de regeneração adequadas. Nesse contexto, neste trabalho apresenta-se a síntese de materiais compósitos do tipo ZSM-12/MCM-41 e ZSM-12/MCM-48, visando combinar as propriedades do material zeolítico com as vantagens estruturais dos materiais mesoporosos, resultando na obtenção de materiais com elevadas capacidades de adsorção de CO2. Para isto, os materiais foram sintetizados pelo método hidrotérmico e por mecanosíntese. Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados por DRX, espectroscopia de absorção na região do infravermelho, análise térmica, analise de adsorção-desorção de N2 A 77 K, MEV e TEM. A capacidade de adsorção de CO2 destes materiais foi investigadas através da análise gravimétrica. As técnicas de caracterização mostraram que a metodologia de síntese adotada via dessilicalização da fase ZSM-12 foi satisfatória na obtenção de um material compósito com as fases micro e mesoporosas integradas. Por outro lado, os resultados evidenciaram que através da mecanosíntese foi possível obter materiais formados pela mistura entre as fases micro e mesoporosas. Além disso, comparando-se os resultados de adsorção de CO2 dos materiais compósitos obtidos via método hidrotérmico com os obtidos via mecanosíntese foi possível concluir que a capacidade de adsorção é influenciada pela cristalinidade ou teor da fase ZSM-12. Considerando-se os resultados de adsorção apresentados, de maneira geral, as amostras ZM48-75, ZM41-A/R3-MH e ZM41-50, apresentaram maior capacidade de adsorção que os materiais zeolíticos e mesoporosos puros, respectivamente. Sendo assim, os materiais compósitos do tipo ZSM-12/MCM-41e ZSM-12/MCM-48 são promissores adsorventes para separação de CO2.

The results showed from adsorption, in general, ZM48-75 samples, ZM41 A/MH R3 and ZM41-50 showed higher adsorption capacity than pure zeolitic and mesoporous materials, respectively. Thus, the composite materials of the type ZSM-12/ZSM-41 and MCM-12/MCM-48 are promising adsorbents for CO2 separation. / O aumento da concentração de dióxido de carbono na atmosfera é apontado como o principal fator responsável pelas mudanças climáticas em escala mundial. Nos últimos anos, várias pesquisas têm por finalidade o desenvolvimento de novos métodos e tecnologias para captura e separação de CO2. A utilização do método de adsorção para separação de CO2 é uma alternativa promissora, tendo em vista o potencial para reduzir os custos energéticos, eliminando soluções aquosas e proporcionando captura e taxa de regeneração adequadas. Nesse contexto, neste trabalho apresenta-se a síntese de materiais compósitos do tipo ZSM-12/MCM-41 e ZSM-12/MCM-48, visando combinar as propriedades do material zeolítico com as vantagens estruturais dos materiais mesoporosos, resultando na obtenção de materiais com elevadas capacidades de adsorção de CO2. Para isto, os materiais foram sintetizados pelo método hidrotérmico e por mecanosíntese. Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados por DRX, espectroscopia de absorção na região do infravermelho, análise térmica, analise de adsorção-desorção de N2 A 77 K, MEV e TEM. A capacidade de adsorção de CO2 destes materiais foi investigadas através da análise gravimétrica. As técnicas de caracterização mostraram que a metodologia de síntese adotada via dessilicalização da fase ZSM-12 foi satisfatória na obtenção de um material compósito com as fases micro e mesoporosas integradas. Por outro lado, os resultados evidenciaram que através da mecanosíntese foi possível obter materiais formados pela mistura entre as fases micro e mesoporosas. Além disso, comparando-se os resultados de adsorção de CO2 dos materiais compósitos obtidos via método hidrotérmico com os obtidos via mecanosíntese foi possível concluir que a capacidade de adsorção é influenciada pela cristalinidade ou teor da fase ZSM-12. Considerando-se os resultados de adsorção apresentados, de maneira geral, as amostras ZM48-75, ZM41-A/R3-MH e ZM41-50, apresentaram maior capacidade de adsorção que os materiais zeolíticos e mesoporosos puros, respectivamente. Sendo assim, os materiais compósitos do tipo ZSM-12/MCM-41e ZSM-12/MCM-48 são promissores adsorventes para separação de CO2.

PhD thesis - Faculty of Science / The main aim of this thesis has been to study the way in which Fe(III) and Co(II) incorporation into Si-MCM-41 synthesis gels affects the properties of the unmodified material. Another aim was to investigate the influence of these hetero-atoms on the dispersion and particle size distribution as well as the catalytic activity of supported Au nanoparticles in the CO oxidation reaction. Si-MCM-41 has been successfully synthesized in this work using mixtures containing CTAB as a structure-directing agent (SDA) and water-glass as a SiO2 source. Replacement of water-glass with pre-calcined Si-MCM-41 for SiO2 source in the secondary synthesis step has produced Si-MCM-41 with improved structural properties (XRD, HRTEM and Raman spectroscopy), including restructured and more crystalline pore walls (Raman spectroscopy). The conventional shortcomings of Si-MCM-41 as a support for catalyticallyactive (transition) metal components such as low hydrothermal stability, low PZC, lack of cation exchange capacity and no reducibility have been partially addressed by modification with Fe(III) and Co(II). The premodification was achieved both during framework synthesis and after synthesis by the incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) method. As opposed to the one-pot synthesis of metal-containing derivatives, the IWI method gave materials with high metal loadings and maximal retention of the properties of pristine Si-MCM-41. On the other hand, metal incorporation during synthesis to a loading of ~8.8 wt% using aqueous solutions of metal precursors showed some collapse of the mesostructure. Consequently methods were sought to incorporate this amount of metal (and up to double, i.e., 16 wt%) with maximal retention of the MCM-41 characteristics. These methods included (i) using Si-MCM-41 as a SiO2 source, (ii) dissolving the metal precursors in an acid solution before inclusion into the synthesis gel, and (iii) using freshly precipitated alkali slurries of the metal precursors. The first method produced a highly ordered 16wt% Fe-MCM-41 material with excellent reducibility (TPR showed three well-resolved peaks) and pore-wall structure (Raman spectroscopy). Like the aqueous route, the acid-mediated metal incorporation route did not produce ordered materials at metal contents of ~16 wt%. The base precipitate route produced highly ordered composite materials up to 16 wt% metal content, with characteristics similar to those of Si-MCM-41 (XRD, BET and HRTEM), although some metal phases were observed as a separate phase on the SiO2 surface. Thus, metal-containing MCM-41 materials could be obtained with conservation of MCM-41 mesoporosity. Raman spectroscopic studies have shown that the effect of transition metal incorporation in MCM-41-type materials is to strengthen the pore walls (shift of Si-O-Si peaks to higher frequencies), while TPR studies revealed that the essentially neutral framework of Si-MCM-41 could be rendered reducible by transition metal incorporation. Gold-containing mesoporous nanocomposites were prepared by both direct synthesis and post-synthetically. Catalysts prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis were always accompanied by formation of large Au particles because of the need to calcine the materials at 500 oC in order to remove the occluded surfactant template. The presence of transition metal components in Me-MCM-41 (Me = Fe and Co) has been found to play a significant role in the particle size distribution and also the dispersion of Au nanoparticles when these materials were used as supports. In general, a base metal-containing support was found to produce smaller Au nanoparticles than the corresponding siliceous support. It has been proposed that the transition metal components serve as anchoring or nucleation sites for the Au nanoparticles, which are likely to sinter during calcination. The anchoring sites thus retard the surface mobility of Au at calcination temperatures above their TTammann. The use of the Au/Me-MCM-41 materials as catalysts in the CO oxidation reaction has led to the following observations: (i) catalyst on metal-containing supports showed better activity than those on Si-MCM-41, probably due to the induced reducibility in metal-MCM-41, (ii) catalysts prepared by direct synthesis showed inferior activity owing to large Au particles, (iii) increasing Au content improves the catalytic performance, (iv) increasing the Fe content of the support at constant Au improves the catalytic performance, and (v) changing the base metal component of the support from Fe to Co led to a significant improvement in catalytic activity. The similarity of the apparent activation energies (Ea) for the 5 wt% Au-containing 5 wt% Fe- and 5 wt% Co-MCM-41 suggested that the difference in catalytic activity is associated with the number of active sites possessed by each catalyst system. The observed order of catalytic activity of these 5 wt% Au-containing systems in terms of the support type is: Co-MCM-41 > Fe-MCM-41 > Si-MCM-41. This was further supported by the average Au particle size, which, in terms of the support, followed the order Co-MCM-41 < Fe-MCM-41 < Si-MCM-41. Thus, metal-support interactions between Au and MCM-41 have been enhanced by introducing Fe(III) and Co(II), which also induced framework charge, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and reducibility in the neutral siliceous support.
