AbstractHierarchically porous materials are widely used in catalysis, adsorption, ion exchange and other fields, because of their high hydrothermal stability and large specific surface area. Most of porous materials are in form of nanosized particles and they must go through the complex centrifugal separation process in order to achieve the reuse of the catalyst. The beads with macroscopic morphology can achieve straightforward separation from liquid medium, in which the complexity of the centrifugation process would be eliminated. From view of catalysis, this is of great significance for the industrial applications of the catalyst.In our work, hydrothermal method was successfully used to synthesize hierarchically porous ferrosilicate beads (FeSil-HPB), which were characterized by SEM, XRD, FT-IR, UV-vis, XPS and N2 adsorption-desorption measurement. Synthetic conditions have been widely studied, such as type and contention of base, resin content, iron source, the aging temperature and so on. Furthermore, FeSil-HPB was used to catalyze the hydroxylation of phenol and naphthol and benzylation of benzene reaction. The characterization results showed that the beads with hierarchical porosity could be successfully prepared in the media of TPAOH or TEAOH. The contention of the bases and content of resin have a big influence on the shape and structure of the beads. Based on the characterization results of UV-visand XPS, it is concluded that the iron presence in the forms Fe3 + and Fe2 + and mostof them are tetrahedrally coordinated in the framework. The porous ferrosilicate beads showed highly catalytic activity in both small and bulky substrates, for examples in the hydroxylation of phenol and 1-naphthol. The high activities are mainly due to the presence of hierarchically porosity with large meso pores, which favors mass transport of reactants. The beads could be recycled to an accepted content after easy regeneration through room temperature washing in the hydroxylatio
