Preparation of hybrid organo-inorganic catalysts based on MSM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves and their properties in synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether

Abstract

A series of sulfoorganosilica (vinyl-containing) catalysts based on MSM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves were prepared by template synthesis. The structure and properties of these catalysts and their catalytic characteristics in synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether were examined.
