Catalyst Design by NH4OH Treatment of USY Zeolite

Thermodynamics and Mechanism of Nicotine Adsorption onto Hydro- Phobic Zeolite Type Usy from Aqueous Solution*

The isothermal adsorption of nicotine from an aqueous solution onto zeolite type USY at temperature range from 298 to 322 K was investigated. It was found that the adsorption isotherms can be described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The density distribution function of adsorption centers has an exponential form and the adsorption isotherms can be fitted by the Freundlich isotherm. The c...

BIMETALLIC Pt-Ni CATALYSTS SUPPORTED ON USY ZEOLITE FOR n-HEXANE ISOMERIZATION

Isomerization of linear alkanes has had considerable importance for the refining industry because the isomers formed in this reaction have high octane number. Most works reported in the literature studied the use of bifunctional catalysts, i.e., ones that have acid sites and metallic sites. In this study, bifunctional monometallic (Ni or Pt) and bimetallic catalysts (Pt-Ni), using HUSY zeolite ...

Effect of acidity and physical properties of nanozeolite catalyst on hydrocracking of vacuum gas oil

In this study, beta nanozeolite, ultra-stable Y zeolite (USY) and amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) were synthesized. These compounds were used as the support of hydrocracking catalyst. Ni-Mo/beta zeolite-ASA and Ni-Mo/USY zeolite-ASA catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The samples were characterized with X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)...

Xylenes Reactions and Diffusions in ZSM-5 Zeolite based Catalyst

Xylenes transformations have been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolite in a riser simulator that mimics closely the operation of commercial fluidized-bed reactors. P-xylene was found to be more reactive than the other isomers followed by o-xylene and m-xylene was found to be least reactive. The order of reactivity is consistent with the order of diffusivity. At low temperature (400°C), isomerization...
