Effect of Water on Catalytic Reactions over Brønsted Zeolites
(2022-09)
Water is present in both conventional chemical transformations and conversion of renewable emerging feedstocks such as biomass and plastic waste. Solid acids and zeolites, in particular, have been one of the most common ...
PRODUCTION OF ALKYL-AROMATICS FROM LIGHT OXYGENATES OVER ZEOLITE CATALYSTS FOR BIO-OIL REFINING
(2010)
Upgrading of light oxygenates derived from biomass conversion, such as propanal and glycerol, to more valuable aromatics for biofuels has been demonstrated on zeolite catalysts. Aromatics with a high ratio of C9/(C8+C7) ...
Diffusional constraints implications in C-C reactions over Brønsted acid sites
(2023)
The constrained pore structure and catalytic properties of zeolites can occasionally offer diffusion limitations to a molecule during the course of a chemical reaction. These constraints significantly impact the rate of ...
Zeolite-Catalyzed Surface Chemistry in Alkane Isomerization and Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons Catalysis
(2013)
Zeolite catalysts are eminently vital to production of liquid transportation fuels and commodity chemicals. In each particular application, the surface reactions catalyzed by the zeolite determine its productivity. It is ...
Catalytic dehydration of poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) with heterogeneous acid catalysts
(2023)
This study investigates the role of acid site density, pore size, and solvent selection in the
catalytic dehydration of Poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (EVOH) using zeolite catalysts. The first
set of experiments ...
