Abstract: A mesoporous material was synthesized by using the precursor of MCM22 zeolite through a twostep synthesis route, and characterized by XRD, N2 physical adsorptiondesorption, TEM, 27Al MAS NMR, IR spectra of pyridine adsorbed methods and so on. It was found that the synthesized sample was not a mixture of microporous zeolite and mesoporous material but a new mesoporous molecular sieve with strong acid sites and good thermal stability. The acid catalytic activity for macromolecules was evaluated and compared with conventional mesoporous material MCM-41 through the cracking reaction of cumene and alkylation reaction of benzene with 1dodecen. The results show that the conversions of cumene cracking at 350℃ over the new mesoporous material and MCM-41 are 68.98% and 48.80%, respectively. For the alkylation reaction of benzene with 1dodecen at 210℃, the conversions of 1dodecen over the new mesoporous materials and MCM-41 are around 95.20% and 86.89%, respectively. The selectivities of linear alkylbenzene over the new mesoporous materials and MCM-41 are around 88.11% and 90.06%, respectively. The results show that the catalytic property of the new mesoporous materials for macromolecules is superior to that of MCM-41.
