Item Preparation and characterization of activated CMK-3 modified with vanadium applied in hydrogen storage(XXIII INTERNATIONAL MATERIALS RESEARCH CONGRESS, 2014) Juárez, Juliana; Gómez Costa, Marcos; Cussa, Jorgelina; Anunziata, OscarThe aim of this work is to synthesize a nanostructured Carbon CMK-3 modified with V in order to increase its capacity in hydrogen storage. The approach that we have followed includes synthesis of nanostructures with the experimental study of its adsorption capacity and storage properties. Ordered nanoporous carbon CMK-3 was synthesized via a two-step impregnation of the SBA-15 mesopores with a solution of sucrose using an incipient wetness method. The sucrose–silica composite was heated at 1173 K for 4 h under nitrogen flow. The silica template was dissolved with 5 wt% hydrofluoric acid in order to remove the silica. The template-free carbon product thus obtained was filtered, washed with deionized water and ethanol, and dried. [1] V-CMK-3 was prepared by wetness impregnation using VCl3 as source of Vanadium in order to increase the amount of hydrogen adsorbed. The sample of V-CMK-3 was treated under H2 flow two times at 1173 K. Porous carbon CMK-3 and the sample modified with V were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, TEM and SEM. These studies indicate that it was possible to obtain a CMK-3 replica successfully from SBA-15, using sucrose as a carbon precursor. [2] The surface areas are 1320 m2/g and 1050 m2/g for CMK-3 and V-CMK-3, respectively. While the nanomaterial area is significantly smaller with the incorporation of the metal, CMK-3`s characteristic structure is maintained after the metal is within the host, in agreement with the XRD studies. Measurements of hydrogen adsorption at cryogenic temperatures and low pressures were performed. The nanoparticles of V incorporated onto the nanostructured carbon CMK-3 showed higher hydrogen uptake at low and high pressures than CMK-3. (3.4 wt% and 2.2 wt% respectively of H2 sorption at 10 bar and 77 K).Item Composites of polyindole nanowires within silicates and aluminosilicates hosts with distinct conductive properties(International Conference on Materials and Engineering Technology, 2015) Juárez, Juliana; Gómez Costa, Marcos; Mugas, Brenda; Anunziata, OscarNanostructured silicate SBA-15 and aluminosilicate AlSBA-15 were synthesized in order to prepare polyindole composites. The Silica mesoporous materials were prepared by sol–gel method and the alumination by post-synthesis technique, and analyzed by different methods (XRD, BET, TEM, and FTIR). Polyindole/host composites were prepared by an oxidative in situ polymerization of pre-adsorbed indole, em ploying Cl3Fe as oxidant. TG, FTIR, BET, XRD, SEM and TEM were used to characterize the resulting composites. These studies show that after polymerization, the porous structures of the materials are preserved and the Polyindole is found within the porous channels. The composites have an electrical conductivity range between higher than the pure Polyindole chemically synthesized, close to the electrical conductivity of pure polymer electrochemically synthesized, and lower than the pure polymer chemically synthesized, in order of 10-8 S/cm.Item 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, AndreaThe 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.Item Experimental desing optimization of the tetralin hydrogenation over Ptlr/SBA-15(International Symposium on Advances in Hydroprocessing of Oil Fractions, 2015) Valles, Verónica; Ledesma, Brenda; Rivoira, Lorena; Cussa, Jorgelina; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone, AndreaThe oil refining industry has a difficult challenge to meet the increasingly stringent regula tions on environmental issues.

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).Item Síntesis y caracterización de composites nanoestructurados de polipirroI/SBA-3 Y polipirroI/AISBA-3(Universidad Tecnológica Nacional., 2011) Martínez , María; Luna D´Amicis , Froilán; Gómez costa , Marcos; Beltramone, Andrea; Anunziata, OscarNuevos composites polipirrol/SBA-3 y polipirrol/Na-AlSBA-3 fueron sintetizados. El pirrol fue adsorbido en fase gaseosa sobre la superficie de los poros de los materiales mesoporosos SBA-3 y Na-AlSBA-3, para luego ser polimerizado in-situ. Para la polimerización se colocó los materiales, que contenían pirrol adsorbido, en solución acuosa de cloruro férrico o persulfato de amonio, a temperaturas de 0 ºC y 25 ºC. Los composites obtenidos son analizados mediante FTIR, XRD y análisis de área mediante el método BET. De ambos materiales, la SBA-3 presenta bandas de adsorción en el infrarrojo más definidas de pirrol adsorbido que el material Na-AlSBA-3. En correspondencia con estos resultados el material polipirrol/SBA-3 muestra bandas más definidas de polipirrol que el composite polipirrol/NaAlSBA-3. Las reacciones realizadas a 0 ºC resultaron en polimerizaciones incompletas según lo mostrado por los espectros de FTIR mientras que a 25 ºC la polimerización fue exitosa. De ambos oxidantes el que mejores resultados presentó fue el cloruro férrico. Los patrones de XRD dan indicios de RESUMEN Introducción espectros de FTIR mientras que a 25 C la polimerización fue exitosa. De ambos oxidantes el que mejores resultados presentó fue el cloruro férrico. Los patrones de XRD dan indicios de que la nanoestructura de los materiales mesoporosos se mantiene luego de la polimerización in-situ. Estos materiales están formados por nanoalambres de polipirrol contenidos en el interior de los canales de estos hospedajes teniendo numerosas aplicaciones en el campo de la nanotecnologíaItem 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, AndreaEn 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.Item Encapsulation of PANI nanowires into AI-SBA-3 and AI-SBA-16 nanoporous materials.(Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2011) Gómez Costa, Marcos; Martínez, María; Luna D´Amicis , Froilán; Beltramone, Andrea; Anunziata, OscarThe encapsulation of nanosized conducting polymer filaments such as polyaniline, into the channels of mesoporous aluminosilicate hosts (i.e. SBA-3, SBA-16), would permit the feasibility of using mesoporous materials in nanometer-scale for electronic devices. [1, 2]. The goal of this work is to synthesize PANI/Na-AlSBA-3 and PANI/Na-AlSBA-16 composites (with PANI inside of the nanoporous channels of materials), with electrical conducting or semiconducting properties, using in situ polymerization techniques in order to contribute to the understanding of the aniline adsorption mode onto the host and its influence on the final composite material. It could be possible modify conductive properties of composite, varying the substituents of the aromatic ring, the host structure and the anchored sites to adsorb aniline, and the amount of PANI in the hosts.Item Hydrogenation of tetralin over Ir-containing mesoporous catalysts.(Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2012) Ponte, María; Valles, Verónica; Anunziata, Oscar; Beltramone, AndreaIn this work we study the catalytic properties of 1 wt% Ir-containing mesoporous materials in the hydrogenation of tetralin to decalin in the presence of 100 ppm of dibenzotiophene at 250°C and 15 atm of pressure of hydrogen, using a Parr reactor. We described the preparation of new nanostructured catalytic materials containing highly and homogeneously dispersed particles of Ir 0 after reduction, and investigate their activity for hydrogenation of aromatic compounds, using tetralin as a model substrate. The metal particle size of supported metal catalysts is an important factor affecting the catalytic behavior and the support, in particular, the pore structure, can affect the metal dispersion. The Ir/SBA 3 catalyst synthesized by us had higher activity than Ir/Al-SBA-3 and Ir-MCM-41, measured in tetralin hydrogenation at mild conditions. The experimental data were quantitatively represented by a modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood type rate equation. The catalyst showed a good resistance to sulfur. The preliminary results show this material as a promising catalyst for HDS/HDN reactions.Item Optimization of NOx selective catalytic reduction in presence of iso-butane and 02 using Fecontaining ZSM-11 zeolites by multivariate analysis.(Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2012) Cussa, Jorgelina; Beltramone, Andrea; Anunziata, OscarThe nitrogen oxides reduction is a problem that the environmental catalysis still tries to solve. Thus, for this problematic, the processes can be grouped in three general lines of work: minimization of the production of NOx; direct decomposition of NO to N2 + O2, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Fe-ZSM-5 has in recent times received much attention in catalysis research because of its promising activity in the decomposition or selective reduction of nitrous oxide. Fe-ZSM-11 zeolites, prepared by novel sol-gel process with Fe2+ and/or Fe3+ as active sites incorporated by reproducible post-synthesis methods were obtained. We reported the relationship between the catalytic activity and the nature of the active sites [1]. The experiment design - response surface methodology is used in this work to optimize the NOx selective catalytic reduction to N2 using the above cited catalyst. The main objective is to define the response surfaces, finding the best combination of different parameters in order to optimize the process, for this reason, the experiments design methodology was applied reducing the operation costs, achieving efficiency and effectiveness in the process. The application of this methodology leads us to a better understanding of the influence of the different factors such as: number and strength of the acid sites, Fe2+/Fe3+ relation, [NO3*] and [NO2*] adsorbed intermediates, the concerted reaction mechanism proposed in the previous work, and the effect of the reaction temperature and their interactions. The statistic model applied in this work is a powerful tool to interpret the overall process from the multivariate parameters. The goal of the present work would be to identify the key-factors to optimizing the best operation conditions and catalysts characteristics, which are responsible for the enhanced performance of Fe-zeolites and thereby to corroborate with even better catalyst formulations. According to the statistic methodology applied, the best operation conditions and catalysts characteristics can be identified, allowing us to re-design the catalyst to enhance the NOx conversion and N2 and CO2 selectivity at optimum reaction temperature.
