Abstract
The effect of Al ion implantation on the properties of mesoporous aluminosilicate mineral phases of the SBA-15 type was studied. The implantation of Al was performed immediately under conditions of the synthesis of SBA-15 in a weakly acidic medium (pH ∼ 2.9). It was found that, under these conditions, the amount of Al that can be implanted into the SBA-15 framework is limited (a maximum of 7.2 mol %). According to XPS data, aluminum ions were implanted into the matrix of silica rather than occurring on the surface as an individual phase. The study of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and the results obtained by X-ray diffractometry and high-resolution electron microscopy suggest that Al-SBA-15 materials exhibited a hexagonal structure of channel pores of the same diameter of 8.3 nm, and the unit cell parameter was 12.3 nm. The degree of crystallinity of the material increased with the concentration of Al.
