Abstract
In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 was carried out in an open-vessel. The mesoporous structure of as-synthesized MCM-41 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrum, NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The catalytic performances of MCM-41 for the synthesis of geranyl propionate (GP) with geraniol and propionic acid as reagents also were investigated. The characterization results show that the as-synthesized MCM-41 possesses typical hexagonal mesoporous structure with high long-range order and crystalline degree. The high GP selectivity of 64.25% with geraniol conversion of 17.21% was achieved under optimum conditions.
