Abstract:

Bowl-shaped amphiphilic ZSM-5 zeolites, which have a lipophilic outer surface and a modified hydrophilic inner surface, were prepared by asymmetric modification via a classical amino graft-in situ reduction process. The gold nanoparticles were selectively grown on the inner surface of the zeolites. The samples were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, IR and XPS, and their catalytic properties for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline were investigated. Under very mild conditions(room temperature, water as solvent, without nitrogen protection) and lower reactant concentration(0.03 mol/L, lower than the solubility of nitrobenzene in water at room temperature), the catalyst exhibited the same catalytic activity and selectivity as other catalysts using organic solvents, and was significantly higher than other catalysts using water as catalyst. The amphiphilic structure of the support was proved to be the main reason for improving the catalytic effect. After six cycles, the catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalyst remained at the same level.
