Abstract

The synthesis of MCM-41 in a highly acidic medium has been optimised. It was found that the relatively low-cost synthesis gave a material with extremely high surface areas (more than 1500 m2/g) compared to that obtained in conventional alkaline synthesis (ca 1100 m2/g). Judged by the short synthesis time, high yield, enhanced adsorption capacity, large particle size and thermal stability, the acid route to MCM-41 appears promising from an industrial point of view. Additional cost-reducing steps, such as the recycling of the “acid matrix” and the reduction of the volume of the water/acid mixture were successfully applied.
