POROUS MATERIALSPOROUS MATERIALS
Porous materials have highly developed internal surface area that can be used to perform specific function
Almost all solids are porous except for ceramics fired at extremely high temperatures

Porous material are classified according to the size of pores: material with pores less than 2 nm are called micropores, p pmaterials with pores between 2 and 50 nm are called mesopores, and material with pores greater than 50 nm are macrospores

SOL-GEL SYNTHESISThe sol-gel process is a wet-chemical technique used for preparation of versatile materials at lower temperatures.
Typical materials prepared with classical sol gel are pure orTypical materials prepared with classical sol-gel are pure or multicomponent metal oxides or related hybrid inorganic-organic materials. Most typical precursors are metal alkoxides (M(OR)x).
The sol-gel method is based on the hydrolysis and condensation reactions which leads to formation of the extended 3D network (gel) by forming the -M-O-M- links

RECENT RESEARCHRECENT RESEARCH
Porous silicates are used as catalytic supports in chemical reactions
Manganese is one of the most intensively used elements in homogeneous oxidation catalysis
It was shown recently that manganese-functionalized porous silicate catalyst (named KIL-2, synthesised at Kemijski Inštitut Ljubljana) is a highly promising heterogeneous catalytic system in catalytic water cleaning N N Tušar A Ristić G Mali M Mazaj I Arčon D Arčon V Kaučič N Z LogarN.N.Tušar, A.Ristić, G.Mali, M.Mazaj, I.Arčon, D.Arčon, V.Kaučič, N.Z. Logar, Chem.Eur.J., 2010, 16, 5783-5793
However, MnKIL-2 is not recycable, because of the manganese leaching from the silicate supportthe silicate support.
The problem could be solved using aerogels as silicate supports for manganese.
