Patent number: 6843978Abstract: The present invention refers to a microporous material formed by oxygen, silicon, germanium, aluminum, boron, gallium, zirconium and/or titanium in its composition, called TIQ-6, to its catalytic applications in oxidation reactions, and to a method of the TIQ-6 material's preparation based on the synthesis of a gel with a titanium and/or zirconium content, its hydrothermal treatment under controlled conditions, and the treatment of the resulting laminar material with a solution of an organic compound containing a proton accepting group. This swollen material is subjected to a specific treatment to obtain a high external area delaminated solid. A material, METIQ-6, similar to the TIQ-6 material, but also having organic groups anchored on its surface incorporated by a post-synthesis process onto the TIQ-6 material is also claimed.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignees: Consejo Superior De Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica De ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Vicente Fornes Segui, Urbano Díaz Morales, Marcelo Eduardo Domine

Patent number: 6696033Abstract: The invention concerns a microporous crystalline material, with a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, made up by oxygen tetrahedra and one metal (T+4 and T+3) with the possibility of introducing surface acidity produced by the substitution in the network of some T+4 cations (normally Si+4) by T+3 cations (normally Al+3), which gives rise to a structural charge deficiency which can be offset by protons, Brönsted acidity, and/or cations with a high charge-radium ratio, Lewis acidity. The method of preparation is based on the modification of the laminar structure of a mixed oxide (normally SiO2, Al2O3) synthesized from a gel treated under controlled hydrothermal conditions, intercalating organic molecules with a proton-acceptor group and a long hydrocarbonic chain between its laminae. The intercalated material has laminae with a significant separation between them due to the presence between them of the organic chains.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignees: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Universidad Politecnica de ValenciaInventors: Avelino Corma Canós, Vicente Fornes Segui, Urbano Díaz Morales
