Abstract

Hierarchical mesoporous zeolites with different levels of micro- and mesoporosity were prepared by dissolution and reassembling processes of MOR zeolite in the presence of mesoscale cationic surfactant cethyltrimethylammonium bromide. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, Nitrogen (N2) adsorption/desorption, Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD) and Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Moreover, these hierarchical zeolites were tested as hydrocarbon traps using toluene as probe molecule and the temperature programmed desorption method. The results showed that the amount of microstructure and mesostructure in the composite was able to be favorably tuned by varying dissolution time at the first stage. The hierarchical materials displayed remarkably high desorption temperature in toluene-TPD, which is an expected performance of hydrocarbon trap in automobile tailpipes. The effect is due to the easier transport of bulky molecules provided by mesopores and increasing the number of available active sites via a fragmentation of the microporous framework. Therefore, the synthesized composite molecular sieve may be a novel catalyst for hydrocarbon trap in automobile tailpipes.
