    Sulfated/Zr-containing mesoporous carbons: a promising nanostructured catalytic material.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2021) Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Martínez , María Laura; Martínez , María Laura
    In this work, we report the successful preparation of a promising material with acidic properties from starch-derived mesoporous carbon (SMC), functionalized with sulfated zirconia (SZr-SMC). The process of assembling P123, starch, zirconia, and silicon produces ordered mesoporous carbon modified with Zr. Reaction time and temperature are essential to avoid the appearance of poorly assembled or unsightly structures, reducing the surface area and the size of the pores. SZr- SMC has a surface area of approximately 1300 m2/g, and a total pore volume of 0.94 cm3/g, composed mainly of mesoporous with an average pore size of 3.5 nm. The composition of the surface and the chemical states of the elements did not reveal ZrO2 as isolated clusters. Ammonia thermodesorption studies indicated that, SZr-SMC retains 2.49 mmol/g of NH3 at very high temperature, exhibiting a strong acidity. According to the data collected by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), of pyridine desorbed at various temperatures, the total number of acidic sites was 2.36 mmol/g, and the distribution in weak - medium, strong, and super acidic sites was determined. The activity in the methylation of aniline and isopropanol dehydration indicated that the acid sites are strong, and have not redox properties. A new and promising catalytic material based on mesoporous carbons modified with sulfated Zr is developed, which opens a wide range of acid-catalyzed reactions applied to industrial and medical processes.

    Starting from the physicochemical knowledge of the host properties of the na noscale systems would be applied to drug dosage [1,2]. We propose NM synthesis strategies that offer the necessary characteristics for these processes. First, we study the physicochemistry of the anchoring sites of the respective hosts (chemical bonds with reversible or irreversible adsorption) or physisorption (straightforward interactions). Then, whether to design carbon based nanomaterials (CNM), or nano engineered materials, containing the respective active sites (deposited or generated nanospecies), capable of interacting with the aforementioned hosts such as: redox sites, proton acceptor sites, electron donor-acceptor sites, to allow HOMO-LUMO chemical interactions that satisfy the needs of the process to be studied. The nanostructures that allow free diffusions and reversible adsorptions, dosage of molecules with applications in nanokinetics, etc., and determination of critical molecular sizes, calculated using experimental methods, and methods such as density functional theory and semiempirical methods, to avoid steric hindrances between molecules and 100 80 40 60 8 12 16 20 Experimental data Weibull Ritger-Peppas Higuchi Drug Released , % mol/w Time (h) 4 20 nanomaterials whether 2D or 3D, designing NMs with large surface area, physical, ther mal and chemical stability, and pore size, and adequate pore size. Advancing in this sense, this work studies the usage of: Haloperidol Release from ZnO nanocrystal Coated SWCNT, with 30nm of wide and 5 um of long, which by the effect of the interaction between the host and drug molecules and by diffusion through the porosity, leads to a substantial contribution to controlled drug release.

The posterior deposition of ZnO, was obtained, employing ZnNO3, activated under N2 flow at 500ºC; offering adequate LUMO of Zn (the hybridized MO) for Haloperidol interactions. Haloperidol competitively blocks postsynaptic dopamine (D2) receptors in the meso limbic system of the brain, thereby eliminat ing dopamine neurotransmission and leading to antidelusionary and antihallucinagenic effects. Specifically, the dose of Haloperidol (potent antipsychotic drug), indicates that its release follows the so called "power law" or Weibull model, based on the results we obtained in our laboratory

    Superacid Mesoporous Carbons Based on Sulfated Zr.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2020) Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Martínez , María Laura; Martínez , María Laura
    In this brief communication we report the successful preparation of a promising material with acidic properties from starch-derived mesoporous carbon (SMC), functionalized with sulfated zirconia. The process of assembling P123, starch, zirconia and silicon produces ordered mesoporous carbon modified with Zr. Reaction time and temperature are essential to avoid the appearance of poorly assembled or unsightly structures, reducing the surface area and the size of the pores. Zr-SMC has a surface area of approximately 1300 m2 g -1 , and the total pore volume of 0.94 cm3 g -1 , composed mainly of mesopores with an average pore size of 3.5 nm. The composition of the surface and the chemical states of the elements did not reveal ZrO2 as isolated clusters. Through the thermodesorption of the pre adsorbed ammonia in the sulfated Zr-SMC, the total ammonia retained is 1.80 mmol / g at high temperature, exhibiting medium to strong acidity.

    TiO2-modified mesoporous SBA-16 and titanium-substituted mesoporous SBA-16 were developed and tested in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene prevailing in liquid fuel. Pure TiO2 was used as reference. The titania-based catalysts were characterized by chemical analysis, XRD, EDX and TEM. The titanium state as tetrahedral (in Ti-SBA-16 sample) or octahedral (in TiO2/SBA-16 sample) coordination surrounding in the silicate matrix was determined by XPS, UV–vis DRS, FTIR, Raman and XANES. 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). In addition, we carried out a kinetic study and the activation energy was determined. We achieved 90% of S removal from a 0.2 wt.% dibenzothiophene solution at 60 ◦C in less than 1 h of reaction. The best catalytic results are obtained with high exposed surface of nanometric TiO2 species of TiO2/SBA-16 sample. The activated catalyst is very active in ODS reaction and can be reused four times with no loss in activity.

    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2015) Ponte , María Virginia; Rivoira , Lorena Paola; Cussa , jorgelina; Martínez , María Laura; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata; Cussa , jorgelina; Rivoira , Lorena Paola
    SBA-3 mesoporous materials are characterized by hexagonal regular arrangements of channels with diameters >2 nm, high specific surface areas and high specific pore volumes. In the work reported herein, experimental design-response surface methodology (RSM) is used to model and optimize the synthesis conditions for SBA-3 mesoporous materials. In this study, we evaluate the influences of surfactant/silica source molar ratios, aging times, temperature and pH on the synthesis of SBA-3 mesoporous materials by analyzing the XRD intensities pertaining to the [100] signal. Response surfaces were obtained using the BoxeBehnken design, and the combination of reaction parameters was optimized. By applying statistical methodology, higher levels of the objective function (XRD intensities pertaining to the [100] signal) were obtained using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) molar ratios of 0.07 and 0.16, HCl/TEOS molar ratios of 8 and 11, reaction temperatures of 35 and 45 ◦C and aging times of 12e24 h. The mesoporous SBA-3 samples obtained were characterized using small-angle X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET, FTIR and 29Si NMR-MAS, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

    Synthesis and characterization of 2D-hexagonal, 3D-hexagonal and cubic mesoporous materials using CTAB and silica gel.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2016) Martínez , María Laura; Falcón, Horacio; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo
    Highly ordered mesoporous materials SBA family (Santa Barbara Amorphous), with symmetry of two-dimen sional (2D)-hexagonal SBA-3, three-dimensional (3D)-hexagonal P63/mmc (SBA-7) and cubic Pm3n (SBA-1) were synthesized by a simple and easy procedure, designed using silica gel as a silicon source, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) as a structure-directing agent, in highly acidic conditions. The effect of the variation of temperature and reaction time allowed us to obtain the optimum condition to prepare SBA-1, SBA-3 and SBA-7 materials. The sodium silicate generated “in situ” by dissolution of the silica gel, at different con centrations of NaOH and the variation of the synthesis temperature and reaction time are the three factors which allow obtaining different SBA phases. Thus, the best SBA-3, SBA-1 and SBA-7 materials with well-ordered meso- porous system can be obtained in the range of 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 NaOH concentration and 30 and 25 °C and 45, 2880, 1440 min (for SBA-3, SBA-1 and SBA-7 respectively)

    Vanadium oxide supported on mesoporous SBA-15 modified with AI and Ga as a highly active catalyst in the ODS of DBT.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2016) Rivoira , Lorena Paola; Martínez , María Laura; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Martínez , María Laura
    Vanadium oxides supported on mesoporous SBA-15 catalysts with different vanadium loadings were studied in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene as a model sulfur compound. The catalytic activity was improved when SBA-15 framework was modified by adding Al and Ga. Structural and textural characterization of the catalysts were performed by means of XRD, N2 adsorption, UVeVis eDRS, XPS, NMR, TEM, Raman, TPR and Py-FTIR. UVeViseDRS and Raman demonstrated that highly dispersed vanadium VO—3 species are responsible for the high activity in the sulfur removal. The Ga modified support with an intermediate V/Si ratio of 1/30 was the most active catalyst for ODS of DBT, using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. 100% of DBT elimination was attained at a short time in mild conditions. Gallium and aluminum incorporation into the support modified suc cessfully the nature of the SBA-15 surface by generating Bronsted and Lewis acidity. The interaction between the acid sites with the active vanadium sites improved the activity of the catalysts. The high dispersion depended on the vanadium loading and on the nature of the support. The more acidic support allowed better dispersion of the vanadium species due to stronger interaction metal-support. The reusability of the catalysts indicates that vanadium oxide supported on mesoporous SBA-15 modified with Ga and Al are potential catalysts for the ODS of dibenzothiophene

    ODS of dibenzothiopene with titanium-modified SBA-16.

    Over the past, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has drawn considerable interest as a new alter native method for deep sulfur elimination from light oils. This can be attributed to its attrac tive properties, including lower temperature and pressure conditions and lower operating cost [1-3] than conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. Oxidation of organosulfur com pounds 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, diben zothiophene 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 sup port in hydrotreating processes [7]. In this work, we describe the preparation and characteriza tion 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 SBA 16 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 tempe rature, nature of the substrate and reuse of catalysts)
