An inorganic porous material, having uniform pores defined by pore walls of crystalline titanium oxide. The inorganic porous material may be produced by heating an organic inorganic mesostructured material containing titanium and having a hexagonal crystal phase at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to form a porous material having a multiplicity of pores defined by pore walls containing crystalline titanium oxide.

Porous inorganic material having pore walls of crystalline titanium oxide and method of producing same

A method of producing a mesoporous silica material, including reacting, with stirring, a liquid mixture containing a tetraalkyl orthosilicate, a linear alkylamine, an inorganic acid and water, and drying and thermally treating the thus obtained solid product, wherein the amounts of the inorganic acid, alkylamine and water are 0.05-0.6 mol, 0.2-1.0 mol and 10-100 mol, respectively, per mol of the tetraalkyl orthosilicate. Mesoporous silica hard spheres having an average pore diameter of 1.5-4 nm and a volume average diameter of 40-80 &mgr;m. The mesoporous silica hard spheres may contain metal components other than silica.

Silica mesoporous body and process for preparing same

A titanium-containing porous silica having a molecular sieve framework in which more than 3 mole % but not more than 25 mole % of silicon ions are isomorphously substituted by titanium ions. The porous silica may be obtained by gradually adding a liquid containing water and an alkylamine to a mixture containing a silicon alkoxide and a titanium alkoxide with stirring to hydrolyze the silicon alkoxide and the titanium alkoxide and to obtain a gel. The gel is then dried and calcined to obtain the titanium-containing porous silica.

Titanium-containing porous silica and process of preparing same

A kenyaite-type phyllosilicate having a crystallographically single phase is produced by hydrothermally reacting a mixture containing amorphous silica, a sodium compound, a potassium compound and water at a tempeature of 100.degree.-180.degree. C. wherein the mixture has a composition providing the following molar ratios:
