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 (β) 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. It was concluded that the Al-MCM-41 catalyst has applicability in heavy oils to reduce the apparent activation energy of a catalyst-oil system, and the best result with 20% by weight of Al-MCM-41 / Os materiais mesoporosos nanoestruturados vem sendo estudados para aplica??o na ind?stria do petr?leo, em especial o Al-MCM-41, devido ? ?rea superficial em torno de 800-1000 m2g-1 e di?metro de poros variando de 2 a 10 nm, adequado para cat?lise de mol?culas grandes como petr?leos pesados. O MCM-41 foi sintetizado pelo m?todo hidrot?rmico, o qual foi adicionado Alum?nio numa propor??o Si/Al igual ? 50, a fim de aumentar a gera??o de s?tios ?cidos ativos nos nanotubos. O catalisador foi caracterizado por difra??o de Raios-X (DRX), ?rea superficial pelo m?todo BET e volume m?dio de poros pelo m?todo BJH atrav?s da adsor??o de N2, espectroscopia de absor??o na regi?o do infravermelho por Transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) e determina??o da acidez superficial com aplica??o de uma mol?cula sonda nbutilamina. O catalisador apresentou propriedades estruturais bem definidas e coerentes com a literatura. O objetivo geral foi testar o Al-MCM-41 como catalisador e realizar ensaios termogravim?tricos, utilizando duas amostras de petr?leo pesado com ?API iguais ? 14,0 e 18,5. Os ensaios foram realizados usando uma faixa de temperatura de 30 900?C, e raz?es de aquecimento (β) variando de 5, 10 e 20 ?Cmin-1. O intuito era verificar os perfis termogravim?tricos destes petr?leos quando submetidos ? a??o do catalisador Al-MCM-41. 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.

Une nouvelle approche de synthèse a été développée pour non seulement contrôler la morphologie, la taille et la texture de particules de silice mais aussi incorporer une ou plusieurs fonctionnalités à la surface interne de leurs pores. La morphologie sphérique, la monodispersité des particules, la porosité radiale, la dispersion et l'accessibilité des fonctionnalités ainsi que leur taux d'incorporation constituent les propriétés et les paramètres physico-chimiques privilégiés dans notre approche qui est basée sur la méthode de Stöber modifiée et la fonctionnalisation in-situ. Deux différentes applications ont été retenues pour étudier la quintessence de cette approche. La première consiste à incorporer des espèces métalliques (Al et Cu par exemple) dans les sphères de silice afin de les rendre fonctionnelles pour des applications catalytiques en phase liquide; et la deuxième consiste à greffer à la surface des particules des nanomachines sensibles permettant de contrôler le relargage des molécules actives pour des applications thérapeutiques. Dans les deux cas d'application, des performances optimales sont attendues. / A novel approach of synthesis has been developed in order to control simultaneously the morphology, size and textural parameters of silica particles, as well as to incorporate one or more functional groups in the pore walls. In this approach, based on the modified Stöber method and in-situ functionalization, emphasis is put on the spherical morphology, the particle monodispersity, the radially disposed porous structure, and the appropriate dispersion and accessibility of surface functional groups. Two potential applications have been selected so as to verify the feasibility of the approach. In view of materials use for heterogenous catalysis in the liquid phase, the monodisperses mesoporous silica spheres were derivatized with metallic species (e.g., Al and Cu) by direct incorporation in the synthesis stage. The second type of applications concerned the use of silica spheres as sensitive nanomachines for the controlled drug release and required grafting of appropriate organic molecules onto the silica surface.

This is a model reaction used to test basic catalysts for the production of biodiesel from vegetable oils and fats. The basic sites in the catalyst consist of siloxy anions associated with CTA cations. In earlier work, it was found that progressive deactivation of the catalyst occurred when it was reused, due to leaching of the CTA cations located within the pores and on the external surface, resulting in partial loss of the basicity required for this type of reaction. The challenge of the present work was to stabilize the catalytic activity of CTA-MCM-41 by restricting the loss of cations from its interior (since the basicity derives from the interaction between the CTA cation and the siloxy anion). To this end, novel modifications were made to the synthesis of CTA-MCM-41, involving the encapsulation of acrylate monomers in the hydrophobic interior of the micelles followed by their subsequent polymerization using the application of ultraviolet irradiation together with a photoinitiator. The polymers formed then interacted with the hydrophobic tails of the micelles, which restricted the exit of CTA from the interior of the pores, hence improving the stability of the catalyst. The combination of the traditional synthesis method with polymerization using a microemulsion is innovative, because there are no reports in the literature that describe a synthesis in which the initial step is performed using emulsified polymers. The emulsions and the synthesized solids were evaluated using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The materials were also analyzed by Xray diffraction, elemental (CHN) analysis, infrared absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry. All these techniques helped to identify the presence of the monomer, as well as the polymer, in the channels of the CTA-MCM-41. It was confirmed that the presence of the polymer increased the catalytic stability of these new silica hybrids applied in the transesterification reaction. / A sílica híbrida CTA-MCM-41 (onde CTA é o cátion cetiltrimetilamônio) foi empregada, tal como sintetizada, na transesterificação do acetato de etila com metanol. Esta é uma reação modelo para testar catalisadores básicos para a produção de biodiesel a partir de óleos vegetais e gorduras. Os sítios básicos desse catalisador são identificados como sendo os ânions silóxi (≡SiO-) associados aos cátions CTA. Em trabalhos anteriores foi verificado que ocorre a desativação catalítica em seus sucessivos usos, ocasionados pela lixiviação dos cátions CTA localizados no interior dos poros e também na sua superfície externa. Desta forma, tem-se a perda de parte da basicidade requerida pela formação de grupos silanóis (SiOH) para este tipo de reação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo o desafio de estabilizar cataliticamente a CTA-MCM-41 dificultando a saída dos cátions do seu interior, pois, como já mencionado, a basicidade é promovida pela interação do cátion CTA com o ânion silóxi. Para isso, foram realizadas modificações inéditas na síntese da CTA-MCM-41 como o encapsulamento de monômeros acrílicos (metila, butila, octila e dodecila) no interior hidrofóbico das micelas e sua posterior polimerização sob a ação da radiação ultravioleta e de um fotoiniciador. Desse modo, os polímeros formados interagiram com as caudas hidrofóbicas das micelas, dificultando a saída do CTA do interior dos poros, por conseguinte proporcionando uma melhora na estabilidade catalítica. O método tradicional de síntese realizado juntamente com a polimerização em emulsão é inovador, pois ainda não há relatos na literatura cuja etapa inicial da síntese seja por meio de polímeros emulsificados. Assim, as emulsões e os sólidos sintetizados foram avaliados por meio da técnica de espalhamento de raios X a ângulos pequenos (SAXS). Os materiais foram analisados pelas técnicas de difratometria de raios X, análise química elementar (CHN), espectroscopia de absorção na região do infravermelho, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e termogravimetria. Todas as técnicas auxiliaram para comprovar a presença do monômero e também do polímero nos canais da CTA-MCM-41. Desse modo, verificou-se que a presença do polímero melhorou a estabilidade catalítica destas novas sílicas híbridas sintetizadas e aplicadas na transesterificação.

The bio-oil is the main product of fast pyrolysis, and its final composition and characteristics is intrinsically related to quality of biomass (ash disposal, moisture, content of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) and efficiency removal of oxygen compounds that cause undesirable features such as increased viscosity, instability, corrosiveness and low calorific value. The oxygenates are originated in the conventional process of biomass pyrolysis, where the use of solid catalysts allows minimization of these products by improving the bio-oil quality. The present study aims to evaluate the products of catalytic pyrolysis of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) using solid catalysts as tungsten oxides, supported or not in mesoporous materials like MCM-41, derived silica from rice husk ash, aimed to reduce oxygenates produced in pyrolysis. The biomasss treatment by washing with heated water (CEL) or washing with acid solution (CELix) and application of tungsten catalysts on vapors from the pyrolysis process was designed to improve the pyrolysis products quality. Conventional and catalytic pyrolysis of biomass was performed in a micro-pyrolyzer, Py-5200, coupled to GC/MS. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, X ray fluorescence, temperature programmed reduction and thermogravimetric analysis. Kinetic studies applying the Flynn and Wall model were performed in order to evaluate the apparent activation energy of holoceluloce thermal decomposition on samples elephant grass (CE, CEL and CELix). The results show the effectiveness of the treatment process, reducing the ash content, and were also observed decrease in the apparent activation energy of these samples. The catalytic pyrolysis process converted most of the oxygenate componds in aromatics such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, etc / A pir?lise r?pida da biomassa lignocelul?sica ? um processo de convers?o termoqu?mica para produ??o de energia que vem se tornando muito atratativo devido ao aproveitamento energ?tico de seus produtos: g?s (CO, CO2, H2, CH4, etc), l?quido (bio-?leo) e carv?o vegetal. O bio-?leo ? o principal produto da pir?lise r?pida, sendo a sua composi??o e caracter?sticas finais intrinsecamente relacionadas ? qualidade da biomassa (elimina??o de cinzas, teor de umidade, teor de celulose, hemicelulose e lignina) bem como ? efici?ncia da remo??o dos compostos oxigenados que causam caracter?sticas indesej?veis como aumento da viscosidade, instabilidade, corrosividade e baixo poder calor?fico. Os compostos oxigenados s?o originados no processo de pir?lise convencional da biomassa onde o uso de catalisadores s?lidos, em geral, permite a minimiza??o destes produtos melhorando a qualidade do produto final, o bio-?leo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os produtos da pir?lise catal?tica do capim elefante (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) utilizando catalisadores s?lidos, ?xidos a base de tungst?nio, suportados ou n?o em materiais mesoporosos do tipo MCM-41, derivados da s?lica da casca do arroz, visando ? redu??o de compostos oxigenados produzidos na pir?lise. O tratamento da biomasssa atrav?s da lavagem com ?gua aquecida (CEL) ou lavagem com solu??o ?cida (CELix), bem como a aplica??o de catalisadores a base de tungst?nio nos vapores provenientes do processo de pir?lise, teve a finalidade de melhorar a qualidade dos produtos da pir?lise. A pir?lise convencional e catal?tica da biomassa foram realizadas em um micro pirolisador, Py-5200, acoplado ao GC/MS. Os catalisadores sintetizados foram caracterizados por Difra??o de raios X, Espectroscopia na regi?o do infravermelho, Fluoresc?ncia de Raios X, Redu??o por Temperatura Programada e An?lise termogravim?trica. Estudos cin?ticos aplicando o modelo de Flynn Wall foram realizados com a finalidade de avaliar a energia de ativa??o aparente da decomposi??o t?rmica da holoceluloce nas amostras de capim elefante (CE, CEL e CELix). Os resultados mostraram a efici?ncia do processo de tratamento, reduzindo o teor de cinzas, como tamb?m foi observada a diminui??o na energia de ativa??o aparente dessas amostras. O processo de pir?lise catal?tica converteu a maioria dos produtos oxigenados do CE em arom?ticos como benzeno, tolueno, etilbenzeno, etc
