Aluminosilicate mesoporous molecular sieves with enhanced stability obtained by reacting MCM-41 with aluminium chlorohydrate

Abstract

Aluminosilicate MCM-41 materials prepared by post-synthesis alumination using aqueous aluminium chlorohydrate exhibit remarkably high mechanical and hydrothermal stability and in addition the materials, after steaming at high temperatures, possess stronger Brønsted acid sites compared to the parent material.
