Notes:
A novel porous glass-ceramic with a skeleton of CuTi2(PO4)3 was prepared by controlled crystallization of a glass and subsequent chemical leaching of the resulting dense glass-ceramic. A volume-crystallized dense glass-ceramic composed of CuTi2(PO4)3 and Cu3(PO4)2 whose surface was covered by a CuO thin layer was prepared by reheating a glass with a nominal composition of 50CuO·20TiO230P2O5 (in mol%) glass in air. When the resultant glass-ceramic was leached with dilute H2SO4, Cu3(PO4)2 and CuO phases were dissolved out selectively, leaving a crystalline CuTi2(PO4)3 skeleton. The specific surface area and the average pore radius of the porous glass-ceramic obtained were approximately 45 m2g-1 and 9 nm, respectively. The porous glass-ceramic showed catalytic activity in the conversion reaction of propene into acrolein.
