    Tetralin hydrogenation over Pt-Ir/SBA-15. optimization by experimental desing.
    (XXIV International material research congress, 2015) Vallés, Verónica; Ledesma, Brenda; Rivoira, Lorena; Cussa, Jorgelina; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone, Andrea
    The oil refining industry has a difficult challenge to meet the increasingly stringent regula tions on environmental issues. Contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, fused ring aromatic compounds or metals are the principal to remove to achieve "green" fuels. The hydrotreating (HDT) is one of the processes most used in the refinery to remove these contaminants. To optimize the gas oil hydrotreater, it is crucial to understand the aromatic hydrogenation reaction chemistry occurring in the gas oil hydrotreater. To find alternative processes, it is neces sary to develop new and more active catalysts to replace the current ones. Bimetallic Pt–Pd catalysts have received considerable attention, because they show high actvity in a variety of catalytic applications [1,2]. From a fundamental point of view, exploring bimetallic catalysts also allows better understanding of mechanisms and variables involved in the catalytic reactions. The features of the catalysts here studied are going to be correlated with their catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of tetralin. The final goal is to find the optimal proportion of each metal in order to be more active and the best reaction conditions. The statistical expe riments design is the process of planning an experiment to obtain appropriate data that can be analyzed by statistical methods, to produce concrete and valid conclusions [3]. One of the main advantages in the response curve is to visualize the response for all levels of the experi mental factors Experiment design response surface methodology (RSM) is used in this work to model and to optimize the process.

    Sulfur elimination by oxidative desulfurization with titanium-modified SBA-16
    (International Symposium on Advances in Hydroprocessing of Oil Fractions, 2015) Rivoira, Lorena; Vallés, Verónica; Ledesma, Brenda; Martínez, María Laura; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone, Andrea
    Over the past, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has drawn considerable interest as a new alternative method for deep sulfur elimination from light oils. This can be attributed to its attractive properties, including lower temperature and pressure conditions and lower operating cost [1-3] than conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. Oxidation of organosulfur compounds results in the formation of sulfoxides/sulfones, highly polar and hence easily removed by both extraction into polar solvents or by adsorption. Due to their low reactivity, dibenzothiophene derivatives (DBTs) are the most refractory species to be eliminated from oils. Hence, the ODS process through which DBTs are converted to their corresponding sulfones involves great interest at present [4-6]. We recently reported a good performance of this support in hydrotreating processes [7]. In this work, we describe the preparation and characterization of new mesoporous catalytic materials based on Ti-containing SBA-16. We study here, the effect of the preparation method of titania-modified SBA-16 (characteristics of the active Ti and/or TiO2 species) and the effect of the different operation conditions in ODS of DBT under mild conditions in order to find the best performance. TiO2-modified mesoporous SBA16 and titanium-substituted mesoporous SBA-16 were developed and tested in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene prevailing in liquid fuel. We assessed the impact exerted on performance of different reaction variables, including (nature and amount of the active catalytic species, phase system, molar ratio of oxidant H2O2 and DBT, reaction temperature, nature of the substrate and reuse of catalysts).

    Hidrodenitrogenación de quinolina sobre Ir/SBA-16 modificada con titanio.
    (Universidad Nacional de San Luis, 2013) Ledesma, Brenda; Valles, Verónica; Rivoira, Lorena; Ponte, María; Martínez, María; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone, Andrea
    En este trabajo se estudió la actividad catalítica de Ti-SBA-16 y TiO2/SBA-16 modificado con 1 % de Ir, en la hidrodenitrogenación de quinolina, en condiciones suaves de reacción utilizando un reactor Parr a 250°C y 15 atm. Se investigó el efecto del agregado de titanio, que modificando el soporte, influyó sobre la dispersión y tamaño de los cluster de iridio.

    Síntesis y Caracterización de SBA-3: Influencia de la variación de las condiciones de reacción.
    (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Córdoba., 2013) Ponte , María; Valles , Verónica; Ledesma , Brenda; Martínez , María; Rivoira, Lorena; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone , Andrea
    Una variedad de materiales altamente ordenados de sílice mesoporosas, como por ejemplo, MCM-41 [1-3], SBA-15 [4-6], MSU [7], FDU [8], HMS [9], y KIT [10], se han logrado sintetizar utilizando diferentes condiciones de síntesis y variedad de agentes direccionantes de estructuras. Materiales porosos bimodales son materiales que poseen poros de dos tamaños diferentes. En estos materiales, las superficies de los pequeños poros pueden interactuar con moléculas, mientras que grandes poros proporcionan rutas de alta velocidad para el transporte de moléculas de gas y líquidos [11]. Los materiales porosos bimodales tienen varias aplicaciones incluyendo la catálisis, la adsorción, y la separación selectiva, donde el transporte molecular transporte y la interacción entre la superficie sólida y las moléculas puede ocurrir simultáneamente Estos materiales poseen numerosas aplicaciones potenciales como adsorbentes, tamices moleculares y soportes de catalíticos. En todos los casos, el área superficial y tamaño de poro de estos materiales son de fundamental importancia debido al hecho de que pequeños poros puede promover una interacción entre los materiales porosos y las moléculas huéspedes, mientras que los grandes poros proporcionan rutas de alta velocidad para las moléculas huésped y los productos [11]. Por lo tanto, los materiales porosos bimodales con tamaños de poro y estructuras bien controlables son de gran interés para aplicación catalítica El control de morfologías y propiedades fisicoquímicas de sílices mesoporosas bimodales depende de una variedad de parámetros de síntesis tales como: concentración tensioactivo, tipo de agente tensioactivo, el tipo de superficie activa, aditivos, pH y temperatura. La síntesis de sílices mesoporosas bimodales ha sido investigada por muchos científicos. Los materiales porosos con estructuras jerárquicas para aplicaciones catalíticas podrían ser controlados mediante el uso de poros de diferentes escalas de longitud [12]. En este trabajo, se sintetizan materiales mesoporosos del tipo SBA-3 utilizando bromuro de cetiltrimetil amonio (CTAB) en condiciones ácidas. Se investigaron las variaciones de la temperatura empleada en la síntesis, relaciones molares de CTAB y HCl y su influencia en las propiedades fisicoquímicas de la sílica mesoporosa. Los materiales sintetizados se caracterizaron mediante XRD, FTIR y SEM.
