Layered semicrystalline silico-alumino-titanate (Si-t&Ti) mixed oxides were synthesized by a modified sol-gel method with hydrothermal synthesis temperatures less than 200"C and autogenic pressure. The solid products are semicrystalline materials with a surface area of 136-367 m2/g and a monomodal pore size distribution with an average pore diameter of 3.6-4.7 nrn. The catalytic activity for pyrene hydrogenation in a batch reactor at 300"C and 500 psig was determined for sulfided Ni-Mo supported on the Si-Al-Ti mixed oxide. The activity was a fiction of the support composition the heat treatment before and after loading the active metals, the addition of organic templates, and difl?erentmethods of metal loading. The most active sulfided Ni-Mo/Si-Al-Ti catalyst has an activity in the same range as the commercial catalyst, Shell 324, but the metal loading is 37% less than the commercial catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
