介孔sba-15微球的制备及分离性能研究-preparation and separation of mesoporous sba - 15 microspheres.docxVIP

ABSTRACTMesoporous SiO2 materials have great potential in the areas such as separation, catalysis, adsorption and assembling due to their highly ordered and easily controlled pore structure, large surface area and narrow pore size distribution. More and more specialists and scholars have been attracted to focus on their synthesis and relative performance. Mesoporous SBA-15 silicas, in particular, have been attracted substantial attention due to the various advanced features such as larger pore size with narrow size distribution, higher modifiable surface area, thicker pore wall, and higher stability in comparison to the well-known MCM-41 silica materials. And the spherical SBA-15 particles have not only higher mechanical strength and more regular pore structure but also larger surface area, higher modified capacity and lower mass transfer resistance compared with the commercial packing materials. Therefore, spherical SBA-15 silicas have great potential for developing into general chromatographic packing materials. However, the expected morphology is hard to be controlled and the improvement of adhesion among spherical SBA-15 particles still remains a challenge. This work uses the microemulsion templating method and reasonably controls the synthesis condition in order to synthesize the large-pore SBA-15 microspheres with good dispersibility and smooth surface and subsequently explores their application in chiral separations. The main research contents are as follows.In the fabrication process, we research into the factors which influence the pore structure and morphology of SBA-15 microspheres. The addition of suitable amount of Mesitylene helps enlarge the pore size of SBA-15 spheres. The existence of NH4F eliminates the micropores to some extent and thus enlarges the surface area of SBA-15 spheres.This work first introduces a facile strategy to add small amounts of PVA to successfully obtain spherical SBA-15 silicas based on the conventional synthesis method.
