Abstract
Zeolite h-FeZSM-5 with a hierarchical micro/macropore system has been synthesized in the presence of a template based on the close-packed polystyrene (PS) spheres, and the conventional zeolite FeZSM-5 has been obtained in the absence of a PS template. The zeolites have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and N2 sorption. The macropore walls of the hierarchical zeolite consist of ZSM-5 nanocrystals and amorphous globules of silica. Compared to the conventional zeolite, the hierarchical one has a high BET and external surface areas of 245 and 472 m2/g, respectively, and a high pore volume of 0.6 cm3/g. The catalytic properties of the Fe-containing zeolites were studied in the H2O2 decomposition reaction in the absence and in the presence of EDTA ligands and in the oxidation of low- and high-molecular-weight organic compounds by hydrogen peroxide at 25°C. Hierarchical zeolite h-FeZSM-5 is highly efficient in the oxidation of large molecules.
