SÍNTESE E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO SBA-15 SUPORTADO COM Nb2O5

Resumo

The work aimed to synthesize mesoporous materials supported with niobium pentoxide, for subsequent application in biodiesel production. Thus, it was performed by impregnating the oxide during the synthesis process. In this work, the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The materials were successfully obtained, observed three diffraction peaks relating to the planes of diffraction characteristic mesoporous structure. However, the direct use of niobium oxide during synthesis cannot be feasible.
