Abstract
Mesoporous Y-type zeolite (MYZ) was prepared by an acid and base treatment of commercial Y-type zeolite (YZ). The mesopore volume of MYZ was six times higher than that of YZ. [Fe(terpy)2]2+ complexes encapsulated into MYZ and YZ with different Fe contents (Fe(X)L-MYZ and Fe(X)L-YZ; X is the amount of Fe) were prepared and characterized. The oxidation of benzene with H2O2 using Fe(X)L-MYZ and Fe(X)L-YZ catalysts was carried out; phenol was selectively produced with all Fe-containing zeolite catalysts. As a result, the oxidation activity of benzene increased with increasing iron complex content in the Fe(X)L-MYZ and Fe(X)L-YZ catalysts. The oxidation activity of benzene using Fe(X)L-MYZ catalyst was higher than that using Fe(X)L-YZ. Furthermore, adding mesopores increased the catalytic activity of the iron complex as the iron complex content increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
