Deoxygenation of Stearic Acid over Cobalt-Based NaX Zeolite Catalysts

Hydrodeoxygenation of m-cresol over gallium-modified beta zeolite catalysts

Ga-modified H-Beta (Ga/HBEA) zeolites were evaluated and compared to other Ga-containing catalysts supported on SiO2 and ZSM-5 (MFI) for the hydrodeoxygenation of m-cresol, a model compound representative of lignin-derived phenolics. The products include toluene, benzene, xylene, light hydrocarbons, as well as phenol and other oxygenated compounds. The appearance of bicyclic compounds suggests ...

Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene over zeolite catalysts

The Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene was carried out in the liquid-phase batch conditions using Hmordenite, H-beta and H-Y zeolite as catalysts. All the catalysts showed 35–40% conversion in the temperature range of 100–150◦C. 1-Acyl-2-methoxynaphthalene was formed as the primary product. When acetyl chloride was used as the acylating agent, a higher yield of 6-acyl-2-methoxynap...

Mössbauer and Magnetic Studies of Iron-Zeolite and Iron-Cobalt Zeolite Catalysts Used in Synthesis Gas Conversion

Medium-pore (diameter ~ 6A) zeolites such as ZSM-5 and silicalite impregnated with Group VIII metals provide selective catalytic pathways for the conversion of synthesis gas to gasoline or olefins. Mössbauer and magnetic studies on these catalysts containing iron or iron plus cobalt are reported. The zeolites were impregnated with metal nitrate solutions, reduced, and carbided to yield showed F...

Evidence for Subdomains in Large Crystals of NaX Zeolite

1. Introduction Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) NMR has proved to be a valuable tool to probe the intracrystalline diffusion of molecules adsorbed in microporous materials [1]. It is well-known that the purely intracrystalline diffusivity D intra can only be attained, if the root mean square (rms) displacement of the molecules during the observation time is much smaller than the diameter of the cry...
