Interaction of SBA-15 with Dilute Acetic Acid and Ammonia

The SAXS pattern and pore volume of SBA-15 are not affected by aging SBA-15 with water, dilute acetic acid, and ammonia up for to 1 month, while the specific surface area is substantially depressed in interactions with basic solutions. The SEM images indicate pits on the side surfaces of SBA-15 part...

Description
Summary:The SAXS pattern and pore volume of SBA-15 are not affected by aging SBA-15 with water, dilute acetic acid, and ammonia up for to 1 month, while the specific surface area is substantially depressed in interactions with basic solutions. The SEM images indicate pits on the side surfaces of SBA-15 particles in interactions with basic solutions. Aging of SBA-15 in ammonia solutions results in cavities formed by the collapse of walls between neighboring hexagonal channels in the SBA-15. This phenomenon is discussed with a special emphasis on its possible effect on the potentiometric titration curves. Especially, a standard procedure, in which the SSA measured before the titration is used to calculate the <i>σ</i><sub>0</sub>, is compared with a modified procedure, in which the SSAs measured before and after the titration are used to estimate the SSA for each data point separately.
