Abstract

Mesoporous aluminosilicates with diverse gas adsorption properties were obtained by template synthesis at standard conditions (25 °C, 101.3 kPa) using a simple topological and chemical complementarity approach, when the template is a micellar pyridinium quaternary matrix with different own counter-ions, bromide or chloride. The physicochemical properties of the samples were studied by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption, small-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermal analysis. The samples obtained at low Al2O3/SiO2 values had mesopores uniform in diameter with characteristic sizes in the range of 2–3 nm, combined into a supramolecular lattice with a single regular geometry similar to mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-48. Samples with an alumina content of up to 15% were characterized by high specific surface area ≈ 1000 m2/g and pore volume ≈ 0.80 cm3/g. The use of cetylpyridinium bromide as a template led to increase of aluminosilicates specific surface areas and mesopore volumes compared to the use of cetylpyridinium chloride.
