Basic silica catalysts for the efficient dehydration of biomass-derived compounds - Elucidating structure-activity relationships for Na2O/SiO2-type materials

Harilal Krishna et al.

Summary: The gas-phase dehydration of biomass-derived N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidone using Na2O/SiO2-type catalysts offers a promising route to producing high-value polyvinylpyrrolidone. Through optimization of the catalysts and in-depth characterization, it was found that the activity of the catalyst is influenced by a balance between weak basic sites and surface hydroxyls, with the optimal synthesis procedure depending on the type of parent silica. This renewed understanding has expanded the application of Na2O/SiO2 materials to the dehydration of other biomass-derived chemicals in the polymer industry.

Preparation of high-strength silica aerogels by two-step surface modification via ambient pressure drying

Sheng Yue et al.

Summary: High-strength silica aerogels were successfully prepared using a new two-step surface modification method, maintaining low density, high hydrophobicity, and significant compressive strength. This opens up the possibility of producing high-strength aerogel blocks through ambient pressure drying. The study also discusses the potential mechanism behind the improved mechanical properties achieved by the surface modification technique.

Modification of the glass surface with hydrophobic silica thin layers using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) precursors

Adi Darmawan et al.

Summary: The hydrophobic silica layer was synthesized using the sol-gel method, with varying TMCS:TEOS ratios influencing the surface hydrophobicity of glass. A higher TMCS precursor content led to a greater contact angle, although this angle decreased with higher calcination temperatures. The pore sizes of the TMCS-TEOS thin layers were found to be in the mesoporous range, with cylindrical pore shapes maintained across different ratios and calcination temperatures.

The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller model on alumino-silicate mesoporous materials. How far is it from the true surface area?

Lidia Lopez-Perez et al.

Summary: The BET model is commonly used to determine the surface area of porous materials, but there is debate over the accuracy of using certain parameters, such as the cross-sectional area of N2. A modified method with an "apparent" cross-sectional area for N2 was proposed, showing close results to Ar-based measurements but potentially overestimating surface areas. Further research is needed to fully understand the significance of BET surface area calculations and the potential implications on true surface area measurements.
