What is it about?
a unique mesoporous MgO was prepared by a homogeneous-hydrothermal method. •The mesoporous MgO possesses high specific area and rich basic sites. •The conversion of acetone to isophorone was realized at low temperatures. ----by Dr.Peng Wencai

Why is it important?
Developing an active and selective heterogeneous catalyst is the key to acetone condensation process. Mesoporous MgO with crystalline phase framework wall, high specific area and a large amount of surface basic sites is prepared through a simple hydrothermal homogeneous precipitation route using urea as precipitating reagent. It can catalyze acetone condensation to MO and IP at low temperatures. ----by Dr.Peng Wencai
Perspectives
The mesoporous MgO can be used as highly active solid base catalysts and may provide a prototype for the study of aldol condensation. It may also open up its potential application in other research areas such as CO2 adsorption reagent, catalyst support, template for carbon materials. ----by Dr.Peng Wencai
