Abstract

Abstract: Poly(furfuryl alcohol) was introduced into a pore system of MCM-48 silica by the precipitation polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol (FA). The complete filling of the pores without the deposition of significant amounts of polymer on the external surface of MCM-48 was obtained at the FA/MCM-48 mass ratio close to 1.0. The final structure of carbon replica was formed by subsequent carbonization and extraction of SiO2 with HF. The carbonization temperature strongly influenced the surface composition of the formed carbon replicas. The highest catalytic activity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene was observed for CMK-1 with the highest concentration of phenol and carbonyl groups, recognized as active sites of the studied reaction.
