Abstract. We report a modified method to synthesize SBA-16 mesostructured silica under refluxing condition using block co-polymer poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (F127) as template, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as co-template, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source. The physiochemical properties of SBA-16 silica were characterized b…
Abstract. A series of framework substituted Co-TUD-1 catalysts, prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis, were characterized using X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, transmission electron microscopy and UV–vis and Raman spectroscopies. These catalysts showed high conversion and selectivity towards trans-stilbene oxide in liquid phase trans-stilbene epoxidation with molecular oxyg…
