Using silica as the stabilizing agent, the defect-free membrane was much more stable than pure zirconia. The crystal transformation of zirconia in the silica-stabilized membrane could be prohibited by the interaction between silica and zireonia. ZrO2 crystals were kept tetragonal below 900℃, the size of which did not change with temperature between 700℃ and 900℃. It was further verified by the AFM observation, pore size analysis and permeation study. This thermal stability makes the silica-zirconia membrane a good choice as the intermediate layer for zeolite and Pd-based membranes.展开更多

The structural properties of as-prepared catalysts were characterized using various analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption desorption. The experimental results showed that HPW was highly dispersed on mesoporous framework. The surface acidity of catalysts was analyzed by FTIR measurement of adsorbed pyridine.The surface Lewis acidity was improved with increasing the content of zirconium in the samples. The mesoporous composites were used as catalysts with H2O2 as oxidant for oxidative desulfurization of model fuel. The catalytic activity results showed that the surface Lewis acid sites acted as selective adsorption active sites for dibenzothiophene, which facilitated the sulfur removal from model fuel in the presence of arene. A slight decrease in activity of the recovered catalyst used in the proceeding rounds indicated the reusability of the catalyst.展开更多
