Mesoporous materials– An appraisal
Pore dimensions in the range of 2 – 50 nm
Advantages of mesoporous materials
Permit free ingress of reactants and egress of product species that have cross-sections smaller than the diameter of the pores
Offer greater scope for the grafting of organometallic moieties on to the inner surface of the pores ( heterogenization of homogeneous catalyst )
Open up new strategies for the production of novel materials like porous carbons and other composite materials
Different classes of mesoporous materials
M41S (Mobil Composition of Materials) series includes hexagonal MCM-41, cubic MCM-48 and lamellar MCM-50 --ionic interactions
HMS (Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica ) --- hydrogen bonding interactions
MSU or SBA (Mesoporous Structural Units ) --- hydrogen bonding interactions
TMS ( Tech. Mesoporous Silica ) --- covalent bonding interactions

The role of quaternary directing agents
Small individual alkyl chain length quaternary directing agents generate the formation of microporous solids
Long alkyl chain length quaternary directing agents self-assemble to supramolecular Species which can generate the formation of mesoporous molecular sieves

What makes MCM-48 interesting candidate ?
Three dimensional interwoven structure
More resistant to pore blockages
High surface area, pore volume and thermal
stability
Higher catalytic activity than one dimensional
counterpart, MCM-41.

General limitations of M41S materials
Poor crystallinity ----- Limited heat and mass transfer
Fine particle size ----- High pressure drop
Alternative methods to be used to over come these limitations
To coat M41S on inert support ( stainless steel, glass fiber etc.)
Coating of M41S on glass fiber ----- not stable in alkaline medium
Support used for the present study : Stainless steel
