Catalytic deoxygenation of triglycerides to green diesel over modified CaO-based catalysts

Methyl oleate deoxygenation for production of diesel fuel aliphatic hydrocarbons over Pd/SBA-15 catalysts

BACKGROUND Catalytic deoxygenation is a prominent process for production of renewable fuels from vegetable oil. In this work, deoxygenation of technical grade methyl oleate to diesel fuel aliphatic hydrocarbons (C15 - C18) is evaluated with several parameters including temperature, hydrogen pressure and reaction time in a stirred batch reactor over Pd/SBA-15 catalysts. RESULTS Two different S...

Catalytic Oxidation of 4-Methylpyridine on Modified Vanadium Oxide Catalysts

The reaction of gas-phase oxidation of 4-methylpyridine on individual V2O5, binary and ternary vanadium-oxide catalysts was studied. These catalysts were modified by additives of SnO2 and TiO2. It was found that modifying V2O5 leads to increase the activity of binary contacts. Upon transition from binary V2O5<...

Non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics over modified zeolite catalysts by transitional metals

The activity of different transitional metals over modified H-ZSM-5 catalysts for methane conversion to aromatics was compared. The first group of catalysts was Mo-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolites with 1, 3 and 6 wt% of Mo. The second group was M(3 wt%)- impregnated H-ZSM-5 (M: Ag, Cd, Cr, Mo, Zn and Mn). The catalytic activity of the first group was investigated at 600, 700 and 800 °C and gas hour...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

Diesel Catalysts [subscription]

● Deactivation of Diesel Catalyst Abstract: The first diesel catalysts, introduced in 1970s for underground mining applications, were simple oxidation catalysts designed for conversion of CO and HC. These catalysts gradually evolved into the modern diesel oxidation catalysts, optimized for PM emission reduction. Future requirements for NOx emission reduction from diesel engines call for new cat...
