Desilicated NaY zeolites impregnated with magnesium as catalysts for glucose isomerisation into fructose

Probing into morphology evolution of magnesium ethoxide particles as precursor of Ziegler-Natta catalysts

Mg(OEt)2 with spherical morphology is one of the most important precursors for the preparation of industrial Ziegler-Natta catalysts. In the present article, morphology evolution of Mg(OEt)2 particles is studied in the course of the synthesis. The morphology of Mg(OEt)2 particles is observed throughout the process by SEM. The results show that Mg(OEt)2 particles are formed through i) seed gener...

Zeolites as Catalysts for Fuels Refining after Indirect Liquefaction Processes.

The use of zeolite catalysts for the refining of products from methanol synthesis and Fisher-Tropsch synthesis was reviewed. The focus was on fuels refining processes and differences in the application to indirect liquefaction products was compared to petroleum, which is often a case of managing different molecules. Processes covered were skeletal isomerisation of n-butenes, hydroisomerisation ...

Microporous Zeolites as Catalysts for the Preparation of Decyl Glucoside from Glucose with 1-Decanol by Direct Glucosidation

The catalytic properties of microporous zeolite catalysts were evaluated in the synthesis of decyl glucoside from glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation. The effects of the acidic properties and pore structure of the zeolite catalysts on the glucose conversions and decyl glucoside yields were investigated. The conversions of glucose on the H+ ion-exchanged FAU, MFI, and BEA zeolite cata...

An EPR Study of Mo Introduced into NaY Zeolites by Solid-State Reactions

By means of an EPR investigation of Mo ions introduced into NaY zeolites by solid-state reactions, the location and coordination of Mo in zeolites were investigated. Two different locations, free and distorted tetrahedral, were found. The molecular orbital coefficient, ß, and the effective charge, Q, for the MO ions in a distorted tetrahedral structure were calculated and interpreted.
