Catalysis and adsorption

In some cases of heterogeneous catalysis it is the mere fact of adsorption which, by increasing the concentration of the reacting molecules, accelerates the reaction. The expression for the rate v of a chemical reaction can be given as 

The textural properties govern the diffusion process so that a well-defined structure may facilitate diffusion-controlled reactions. For example, the adsorption of heavy-metal ions (Hg + and Cu ) reveals a dramatic discrepancy between ordered and disordered mesoporous silica grafted with the aminopropyl or mercaptopropyl group [55]. The ordered mesostructure with a mean pore size of 6.5 nm brings about complete accessibOity of the functional groups. While 

A hydrophobic nature of the pore surface facilitates the adsorption of organic compounds. We tested the UUmann coupling reaction of iodobenzene in water

Structure Modification. Several types of stmctural defects or variants can occur which figure in adsorption and catalysis (/) surface defects due to termination of the crystal surface and hydrolysis of surface cations (2) stmctural defects due to imperfect stacking of the secondary units, which may result in blocked channels (J) ionic species, eg, OH , AIO 2, Na", SiO , may be left stranded in the stmcture during synthesis (4) the cation form, acting as the salt of a weak acid, hydrolyzes in aqueous suspension to produce free hydroxide and cations in solution and (5) hydroxyl groups in place of metal cations may be introduced by ammonium ion exchange, followed by thermal deammoniation.

Upon calcination the template is removed and the zeolite s well-defined pores are available for adsorption and catalysis. Particularly challenging is the field of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Here often non-regenerable metal chlorides serve as the catalyst in present industrial practice. Zeolites are about to take over the job and in fact are doing so for aromatic alkylation. 

In order to get the pore system of zeolites available for adsorption and catalysis the template molecules have to be removed. This is generally done by calcination in air at temperatures up to 500 °C. A careful study (ref. 12) of the calcination of as-synthesized TPA-containing MFI-type single crystals by infrared spectroscopy and visible light microscopy showed that quat decomposition sets in around 350 °C. Sometimes special techniques are required, e.g. heating in an ammonia atmosphere (ref. 13) in the case of B-MFI (boron instead of aluminum present) to prevent loss of crystallinity of the zeolite during template quat removal.

The structure and geometry of a surface play a dominant role with respect to its reactivity in adsorption and catalysis. It is therefore always necessary to specify which structure we are dealing with and, hence, it is important to have a notation that describes the various surfaces in a unique manner. A crystal surface is described by a vector normal to it, given by...

In discussing the principles involved in alloy film formation, reference had to be made to alloy systems which are uncommon or unused in studies of adsorption and catalysis. This section is specifically concerned with the characterization of alloy films prepared for such purposes. However, the various aspects of alloy film structure mentioned in Section II have to be kept in mind when discussing results of catalytic experiments using evaporated alloy films. 

The subject of Adsorption and Catalysis on Evaporated Alloy Films is reviewed and Moss and Whalley conclude that phase separation caused a variety of complications which makes it difficult to define the nature of catalytic activity.
