Activated charcoal, starch, carboxymethylcellulose and carbon black were used as mesoporosity templating. To evaluate the effect of these templates, samples were prepared with molar composition of 20 SiO2: 1 Al2O3: 6 Na2O: 600 H2O, by hydrothermal synthesis and 20 SiO2: 1 Al2O3: 4 Na2O, by dry synthesis, following procedures described in the literature and adding different amounts of templates to the synthesis gel. As reagents for the synthesis gel assay, were utilized sodium hydroxide, sodium aluminate, silica (Aerosil 200) and deionized water. The synthesis temperature was 175 ? C, while the synthesis time was 5 days and 3 days for the hydrothermal and dry method, respectively. For characterization of the samples was used X-ray diffraction (XRD), analysis by nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements and determination of the acidity by temperature programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). An evaluation of the samples was carried out using the n-heptane cracking reaction at 380 ? C. By X-ray diffraction, it was observed that the majority of the experiments formated of mordenite phase. The textural properties, particularly the volume of mesopores, improved in most samples synthesized in the presence of the template, however, the values obtained were lower than those defined in the literature for mesoporous materials. The samples showed only a peak of ammonia adsorption in NH3-TPD profiles, related to weak acid sites. Most samples synthesized in the presence of drivers showed an increase in the conversion of n-heptane, while the samples obtained by dry gel convertion showed higher conversion than the hydrothermally synthesized. / No presente trabalho foi realizado o estudo da produ??o de mordenita mesoporosa a partir da s?ntese direta, em meio hidrot?rmico e seco, na presen?a do carv?o ativado, amido, carboximetilcelulose e negro de fumo como direcionadores de mesoporosidade. Para avaliar o efeito desses direcionadores, foram preparadas amostras com composi??o molar de 20 SiO2: 1 Al2O3: 6 Na2O: 600 H2O, pela s?ntese hidrot?rmica e 20 SiO2: 1 Al2O3: 4 Na2O, pela s?ntese seca, seguindo os procedimentos descritos na literatura e adicionando quantidades diferentes dos direcionadores ao gel de s?ntese. Como reagentes para o gel de s?ntese, foram utilizados hidr?xido de s?dio, aluminato de s?dio, s?lica (aerosil 200) e ?gua deionizada. A temperatura de s?ntese foi de 175 ?C, enquanto o tempo de s?ntese foi de 5 dias e 3 dias, para o m?todo hidrot?rmico e seco, respectivamente. Para caracteriza??o das amostras usou-se difra??o de raios X (DRX), an?lise textural por medidas de adsor??o/dessor??o de nitrog?nio e determina??o da acidez por dessor??o de am?nia ? temperatura programada (TPD-NH3). Realizou-se a avalia??o catal?tica das amostras atrav?s da rea??o de craqueamento de n-heptano a 380 ?C. Pelos difratogramas de raios X, foi observado que na maioria dos experimentos ocorreu a forma??o da mordenita. As propriedades texturais, especialmente o volume de mesoporos, melhoraram na maioria das amostras sintetizadas na presen?a do direcionador, por?m, os valores obtidos foram inferiores aos definidos pela literatura para materiais mesoporosos. As amostras apresentaram apenas um pico de adsor??o de am?nia nos perfis de TPD-NH3, referentes aos s?tios ?cidos fracos. A maioria das amostras sintetizadas na presen?a dos direcionadores apresentou aumento na convers?o do n-heptano, sendo que as amostras obtidas por s?ntese em meio seco apresentaram maior convers?o do que as sintetizadas em meio hidrot?rmico.

Comparative studies over micro-/mesoporous Cu-containing zeolites ZSM-5 prepared by top-down treatment involving NaOH, TPAOH or mixture of NaOH/TPAOH (tetrapropylammonium hydroxide) were conducted. The results of the catalytic data revealed the highest activity of the Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst both in the absence and presence of water vapor. The physico-chemical characterization (diffuse reflectance UV-Vis (DR UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of NOx (TPD-NOx), and microkinetic modeling) results indicated that the microporous structure of ZSM-5 effectively stabilized isolated Cu ion monomers. Besides the attempts targeted to the modification of the textural properties of the parent ZSM-5, in the next approach, we studied the effect of the co-presence of sodium and copper cations in the microporous H-ZSM-5. The presence of co-cation promoted the evolution of [Cu–O–Cu]2+ dimers that bind NOx strongly with the desorption energy barrier of least 80 kJ mol−1. Water presence in the gas phase significantly decreases the rate of ammonia oxidation, while the reaction rates and activation energies of NH3-SCR remain unaffected.
