A Green Route for Sustainable Nanoporous Solid Acid Catalyst Synthesis Using Bio Template and Analysis of Its Progressive Transformation of CO2

Abstract

Green chemistry approach is a most important area in the modern chemical world.  The nano (meso) porous materials have the specific application in separation, adsorption and catalysis.  A green template (Egg white) is used as a bio template for the synthesis of nanoporous material to replace the hazardous templates.  It is a bio-degradable template; it does not create any environmental issues.  The synthesized material is characterized by various spectroscopic techniques to confirm its structural formation. Based on pore size, the catalyst named as AlSiO₄-14.  The synthesized catalyst (AlSiO₄-14) is active at 175^oC. This low temperature activity will not produce coke formation at the same time it does not require any regeneration and the catalyst is continuously active for catalytic reactions.  The catalytic activity of carbon dioxide decomposition is achieved at lower temperature.  The complete carbon dioxide decomposition of AlSiO₄-14 is 43 % is a great impact of the material.
