Abstract

High-quality cubic MCM-48 is successfully synthesized using a new silica source known as silatrane and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the structure-directing agent via sol–gel process. The effects of synthesis parameters, viz. crystallization temperature, crystallization time, surfactant concentration, quantity of NaOH, and silica source, on the product structure are investigated. The synthesized samples are characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, and electron microscopy. Optimally, this product is synthesized from samples crystallized at 140°C for 16 h with a CTAB/SiO2 ratio of 0.3 and NaOH/SiO2 ratio of 0.5. The XRD result exhibits a well-resolved pattern, corresponding to the Ia3d space group of MCM-48. The BET surface area of this product is as high as 1,300 m2/g with a narrow pore-size distribution of 2.86 nm. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images also show the truncated octahedral shape and well-ordered pore system of MCM-48 particles.
