The open system of large pores and the controllable pore size give MCFs unique advantages as catalyst supports. In this paper, MCFs were employed as supports in developing the PPh3-Rh/MCF catalyst for propylene hydroformylation in a fixed-bed reactor. The PPh3-Rh/MCF catalyst shows high activity （propylene conversion of 21.6% and butyraldehyde TOF of 160.6 h -1）, high selectivity （n-butyraldehyde/i-butyraldehyde=10.4）, and excellent stability under mild conditions of p=1.0 MPa, T=393 K, and SV= 2?000 h -1.展开更多

Analyses using nitrogen adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) showed that MCF silica prepared at aging time of 3 days was the best support as the corresponding nickel functionalized MCF catalyst had the highest nickel content (17.57 wt%) and the smallest size of nickel nanoparticles (1 - 2 nm) together with high porosity (window pore size of 90A). The result was attributed to the highest window pore size in the MCF support which allowed more nickel nanoparticles to be incorporated.展开更多
