Abstract
Water adsorption at temperatures of 286 and 296 K on silicalite-I, ZSM-5 (Si/Al=16), ZSM-48 (Si/Al=50) and AlPO4-5 is followed by gravimetry with a quasi-equilibrium continuous adsorptive introduction. The results show that all of these samples are characterized by a continuous distribution of strongly energetic water adsorption sites (from 60 to 120 kJ·mol−1) for which the adsorption is irreversible at the experimental temperature. This probably justifies the presence of hysteresis on desorption at very low relative pressure values. Adsorption of water in these systems firstly occurs by site. This is then followed by cluster formation and it is suggested that it is the ability of the adsorbent to build up these clusters within the microporous structure which determines intracrystalline uptake. It is put forward that the zeolites, silicalite-I and ZSM-5, do not accommodate cluster formation within its microporous network. However, an external flexible microporous structure, containing Lewis sites, may be present for large crystals. This flexible secondary structure may then be able to opened (swelled) at high relative pressures. On the other hand, for the aluminophosphate AlPO4-5, it is believed that a change in the aluminium coordination on the formation of a crystal hydrate together with capillary condensation results in a large step in the adsorption isotherm, which is itself preceded by a smaller step, revealing a brutal densification of the adsorbed phase.
Abstract
57Fe Mössbauer spectra of 30CaO·15Al2O3·5Fe2O3·25PbO·25P2O5 glass consist of two quadrupole doublets due to distorted Fe(III)O6 and Fe(II)O6 octahedra. Mössbauer spectra of the aluminophosphate glass irradiated with60Co γ-rays (≈5·104Gy) were essentially the same as those of non-irradiated glass. Mössbauer spectra of γ-ray irradiated aluminophosphate glass, containing 10 stable isotopes (Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, and Nd) as the simulated nuclear waste, were also the same as those of non-irradiated glass. These results indicate that the aluminophosphate glass containing iron and lead has high radiation-durability, in addition to high heat resistivity and high water resistivity.
Abstract
The evaluation of the crystallinity of several samples of ALPO-11 was performed by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry. Through XRD, the degrees of crystallinity of the samples were determined by the measurement of the area of the peaks at 2γ ranging from 20.7 to 24.1 degrees. The sample that presented the largest area was considered as 100% crystalline and the areas of the other samples were normalized in relation to this. From TG, the degree of crystallinity was determined considering the mass loss in the temperature range from 453 to 653 K that is related to remotion of di-isopropylamine molecules used during the synthesis procedure. The quantity of diisopropylamine on the material is proportional to the degree of crystallinity.
Abstract
The dehydration of a series of VPI-5 and H3 samples, synthesized under various conditions, as well as the solid state transformation of VPI-5 to AlPO4-8 have been investigated using combined TG-DTG-DSC and high-resolution solid state31P-NMR. The TG curves show a quasi-continuous release of water, the total loss being characteristic for each sample. Complete dehydration is achieved when the samples are heated from 20°C to about 150°C at various beating rates. Besides the main dehydration effect, several weak endothermic peaks are observed. These generally non-reproducible modulated peaks, recorded at high heating rates, are presumably due to the interactions of the water molecules leaving the channels of VPI-5 with the randomly positioned fragments stemming from the destruction of the water triple helix assemblage. The non-isothermal kinetic parameters of the dehydration have been evaluated from the TG and DTG curves recorded at low heating rates.
Abstract
Thermally stable mesoporous aluminophosphates (AIPO) and silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO) were prepared at room temperature in the presence of a cationic surfactant and an organic base. These materials possess high surface areas and regular mesopores of approximately 35 Å diameter. By contrast to microporous crystalline aluminophosphate molecular sieves, mesoporous compounds are amorphous and characterized by Al/P ratios greater than 1. These particularities are responsible for a strong Lewis acidity, as evidenced by ammonia adsorption microcalorimetry. Mesoporous materials are more acidic than the microporous analogues and the amount of strong acid sites increases with the silicon content.
Abstract
An open-framework aluminophosphate analog of the fluorogallophosphate structure-type ULM-3 was obtained by hydrothermal crystallization of an aqueous aluminum phosphate suspension in the presence of 3-methylpropylamine (MAPA) and hydrofluoric acid. The open-framework fluorinated aluminophosphate structure was confirmed by Rietveld analysis and the 27Al, 31P, and 19F MAS NMR spectroscopy. The MAPA, located in the ten-membered ring channels, is doubly protonated to balance the negative charge of the Al3P3O12F2 2– framework. Thermogravimetric analysis data have been used to study kinetics of the thermal decomposition of MAPA. The decomposition was found to be a complex process, its activation energy varied from 177 to 259 kJ mol−1. The relatively high E values are explained by the fact that the MAPA cations are bound to the anionic framework both by electrostatic forces as well as strong N-H…O hydrogen bonds. The strength of the interactions is indirectly confirmed by the in situ high temperature X-ray diffraction analysis which shows that the MAPA decomposition leads to a phase transformation of the open-framework structure to the dense trydimite phase.
