This article describes a novel method to dealuminate and realuminate H-beta zeolites as catalysts for removing organic acids from bio-oils via their esterification reactions with alcohols. Modified H-beta zeolites were prepared by leaching with solutions of oxalic acid, DL-malic acid, and DL-tartaric acid that have different numbers of hydroxyl groups. The results showed that, while all three organic acids can dealuminate the parent H-beta zeolite, with Al(VI)a atoms and Al(IV)c ones being preferentially removed, they show quite different realumination abilities, with tartaric acid with two hydroxyl groups having the highest realumination ability. The concomitance of dealumination and realumination and their dependence on the hydroxyl group numbers of the organic acids provide the possibility of finely tuning the Al and acidity distributions of the resulting zeolites. Among the three acid treated H-beta zeolites, the one obtained from malic acid leaching exhibited the best performance in catalyzing the esterification reaction between acetic acid and sec-butyl alcohol, attributed to its suitable quantity and density of medium and strong Brönsted acid sites and enhanced aluminum gradient. The catalytic results obtained in a fixed-bed microreactor revealed that the malic acid leached H-beta exhibited dramatically enhanced catalytic performance compared to the commercial ion-exchange resin Amberlyst® 15, demonstrating great potential for industrial application.

β-Zeolite was synthesized and modified with ethylenediamine (EDA). The synthesized materials were characterized and used for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions. The influences of the pH, contact time, and temperature on nickel(II) adsorption onto synthesized β-zeolite and β-zeolite modified with ethylenediamine (β-zeolite–EDA) were studied by a batch technique, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to analyze the experimental data and identify the formation of coordination bonds between the adsorbents and nickel(II). The dynamic process showed that the adsorption of nickel(II) onto β-zeolite and β-zeolite–EDA matched the pseudo-second-order kinetics model, and the adsorption of nickel(II) was significantly dependent on the pH values. Through simulation of the adsorption isotherms by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models, it could be seen that the adsorption patterns of nickel(II) onto β-zeolite and β-zeolite–EDA were mainly controlled by surface complexation and the adsorption processes were endothermic and spontaneous. The modification of β-zeolite–EDA improved the adsorption capacity of nickel(II) significantly; this shows a novel material for the removal of nickel(II) from the water environment for industrialized application.

Fly ash, a solid waste rich in silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al), offers significant potential for valorization through the high-value synthesis of zeolites, exemplifying the waste-to-wealth approach. We determined the optimal synthesis conditions for FA-β zeolite using the alkali fusion hydrothermal synthesis method, with fly ash as the primary raw material. The conditions included a NaOH/FA ratio of 1.2, a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 30, an H2O/Al2O3 ratio of 1200, a TEAOH/Al2O3 ratio of 14, a β-seed addition of 7.5%, and hydrothermal conditions of 140 °C for 72 h. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed that the diffraction peaks of the synthesized fly ash-based zeolite align well with the standard pattern of commercial β zeolite. Removal experiments indicated that the efficiency of nitrogen oxides removal hinges on the adequate oxidation of NO. Under optimized conditions, the FA-β zeolite demonstrated a removal efficiency of 83%. ESR analysis revealed that the removal mechanism involves the oxidative elimination of NO, catalyzed by FA-β zeolite through the decomposition of H2O2 to OH radicals. This novel synthesis method, which utilizes fly ash as the raw material to prepare β zeolite, offers advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and environmental protection. It holds significant potential for applications in environmental conservation.

The mechanism for the formation of furfural by dehydration of d -fructose via selective carbon-carbon (C C) bond cleavage was investigated over beta zeolite (Hβ). Several different pore size zeolites were employed to determine the shape selectivity of fructose isomers. Zeolitic pore sizes that smaller than the kinetic diameter of cyclic fructose also produced yield furfural (∼22.5%), while the high yield (66.0%) of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be achieved over large pore zeolite (USY zeolite), which could accommodate the cyclic fructose. These results indicated that the furfural formation likely began with acyclic fructose. In situ 13 C NMR and GC MS studies, using labeled 13 C-1-fructose as substrate, suggested that the conversion of fructose to furfural involved with splitting of the C5-C6 bond. Furthermore, the C1 compound from the cleavage of C C bond was identified as formaldehyde, inferring that the selective scission of C C bond was ascribe to the retro-aldol reaction. Interestingly, in situ NMR studies implied that the acyclic fructose mainly derived from pyranose forms. In addition, compared with glucose, fructose directly converted to furfural at the higher yield and reaction rate.

Developing efficient and stable solid functional materials for the catalytic upgrading of biomass-based platform furanic molecules is of great significance to produce value-added chemicals and biofuels. We herein report β-zeolite (β)/biobased carbon hybrids supported Zr species towards the cascade conversion of furfural into γ-valerolactone (GVL) with high activity and favorable stability. The role and importance of carbon modifier were highlighted. The cellulose (CEL) modified Zr/β-CEL catalyst was found to be uniquely effective, leading to an increase of GVL yield from 49.3% to 81.1%. Catalyst characterizations revealed that the structural integrity of β was largely preserved using CEL as the carbon modifier, accompanied by the increased mesopore volume and pore size for better accessibility of active sites and diffusion of reactants. Simultaneously, the presence of CEL offered an appropriate ratio of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites due to the well incorporation and dispersion of Zr species, which ensured the successive transfer hydrogenation and ring-opening reactions. Kinetic studies demonstrated the positive effect of CEL modification on reducing the apparent activation energy and thereby facilitating the GVL formation. More importantly, Zr/β-CEL with enhanced structural stability also exhibited markedly higher recyclability compared with the pristine Zr/β. The understanding on the roles of carbon modifier can be employed to optimize the physicochemical properties of zeolite-based catalysts for roundly improving the catalytic reactivity of biomass-related compounds.

The traditional silicon sources for beta zeolite synthesis are solid silica gel, carbon-white or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), which makes the material cost even higher. Herein, beta zeolite synthesis by hydrothermal method with industrial silica sol as silicon source was investigated. The effects of synthesis conditions on product property were investigated in detail, including template content, crystallization temperature, crystallization time and alkalinity of hydrothermal system. The products properties, such as crystallinity, pore structure, morphology and acid properties were thoroughly characterized by XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherm, SEM, TEM, Py-FTIR and NH 3 -TPD. The optimum condition for synthesis of beta zeolite using industrial silica sol as silicon source was finally determined. Compared with commercial beta zeolite, the as-synthesized beta zeolite had higher relative crystallinity, higher total and microporous specific surface area with higher total concentration and B/L ratio of acid sites.

Sn-β zeolite and PTSA–POM, made from the copolymerization of p -toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and paraformaldehyde (POM), were used for the production of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) from glucose in an environmentally friendly solvent system including γ-valerolactone (GVL) and H 2 O. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, solvent, and catalyst-to-reactant ratio on the production of HMF were investigated. The combination of the Brønsted acid and Lewis acid catalysts largely improved the catalytic system and resulted in the production of HMF in 60.1 % yield at 140 °C in 30 min. The presence of water in the solvent had a positive influence on the production of HMF from glucose. The combination of the two catalysts also improved the catalytic performance for the production of HMF from cellulose and corn stalk.

An unsupported Ni Mo catalyst was modified by β-zeolite nanoclusters synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The effect of the nanoclusters on the acidity of unsupported catalyst was studied. Results showed that the Lewis acid and the total acid amount of the unsupported catalyst were improved. Indicating that the β-zeolite nanoclusters was successfully introduced into the unsupported catalyst. And the catalytic activity results showed that the introduction of β-zeolite nanoclusters not only led to the higher desulphurization and isomerization activity, but also improved the ratio of direct desulfurization paths (DDS), which is in favor of reducing hydrogen consumption.

A beta zeolite membrane reactor was first applied to improve conversion on the esterification of oleic acid and n-butanol at low temperature by rapidly removing the by-product water. In the pervaporation (PV)-esterification at low temperature of 353 K, the final conversion of oleic acid was significantly improved to 99.2 % in a short reaction time of 4 h. Even at an incredibly low esterification temperature of 333 K, the conversion of oleic acid reached 95.7 % in 4 h. Besides, the beta zeolite membrane reactor exhibited good hydrothermal and acid stabilities with a high oleic acid conversion (maintained above 99 %) after 5 reaction cycles. Through XRD and SEM characterization, it was found that the membrane kept complete crystal structure. Process intensification through a beta zeolite membrane reactor aided by PV was successfully used to enhance the esterification at low temperature in a short time, which was a promising coupling technology.

Hierarchical beta zeolites have been hydrothermally synthesized by using commercial cationic polymer PDADMA as both microporogen and mesoporogen. The influence of various synthetic parameters on the products was systematically investigated. Products with narrow SiO2/Al2O3 ratios were obtained under static crystallization conditions. By employing rotational conditions and adding seeds in the initial gel, higher SiO2/Al2O3 ratios over a wider range of 25 to 50 could be successfully achieved, which showed an obvious improvement. The 13C NMR, TG, XRF, N2 sorption as well as molecular mechanics simulation results indicated that PDADMA was incorporated in the final product without decomposition, acting as a SDA for the formation of beta zeolite and mesoporogen simultaneously. Further studies on the crystallization process revealed that hierarchical structures templated by PDADMA had been formed in the early solid. The amorphous Si–Al species around the micropore channels gradually evolved to the beta structure with the assistance of PDADMA, whereas the mesopores formed in the initial period remained less changed. A solid-mediated mechanism is thus proposed for the synthesis. Characterization results showed that the obtained products had sphere-like morphology composed of 10–20 nm crystalline domains, high mesopore volumes, and large external surface areas. More importantly, the hierarchical beta zeolites exhibited greatly enhanced catalytic activity and stability in the cracking reaction of triisopropylbenzene.

Tin-containing β zeolite exhibits excellent catalytic performance in various biomass conversions to high-value chemicals due to its strong Lewis (L) acidity produced by framework Sn 4+ sites. However, it is difficult to incorporate Sn species into the framework of β zeolite due to that the ionic radius of Sn (0.69 Å) is larger than that of Si (0.40 Å). Herein, organic additives with carbonyl, hydroxyl , aldehyde or amine groups were used to stabilize Sn species in the gel and framework Sn 4+ in the zeolite. Among all additives, acetone (AC) has the best stabilizing effect on Sn species. The stabilization effect between AC and Sn 4+ sites was observed by FT-IR. The characterization results indicate that more tin species were incorporated into β framework and the L acid density increased due to the complexation between carbonyl group and Sn species. Compared to Sn-β-3d synthesized without additive, the L acid density of Sn-β-AC-3d increased by ∼50% (from 21 μmol g −1 to 34 μmol g −1 ). For the conversion of ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone, the reaction reached equilibrium faster over Sn-β-AC-3d than over Sn-β-3d at the investigated reaction temperatures. A yield of 98% was obtained over Sn-β-AC-3d at 110 °C. Besides, Sn-β-AC-3d exhibited good stability and reusability.

The low cost β-zeolite and ethylenediamine modified β-zeolite (EDA@β-zeolite) were prepared by self-assembly method and used for Cu(II) removal from contaminated aqueous solution. Removal ability of β-zeolite toward Cu(II) was greatly improved after ethylenediamine (EDA) modification, the removal performance was greatly affected by environmental conditions. XPS results illustrated that the amide group played important role in the removal process by forming complexes with Cu(II). The EDA@β-zeolite showed desirable recycling ability. The finding herein suggested that the proposed composite is a promising and suitable candidate for the removal of Cu(II) from contaminated natural wastewater and aquifer.
