Hydrocracking of cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane over a cobalt-alumina catalyst.

Hydrocracking of Jatropha Oil over non-sulfided PTA-NiMo/ZSM-5 Catalyst

The PTA-NiMo/ZSM-5 catalyst impregnated with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) was designed for the transformation of Jatropha oil into benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) aromatics. The produced catalyst was characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the temperature-programmed desorption of...

Studying of Catalyst Deactivation in a Commercial Hydrocracking Process (ISOMAX)

Catalyst deactivation is usually indispensable, although the rate at which it occurs varies greatly. At first, this article discusses the causes of deactivation in a commercial hydrocracking unit called Isomax. Then, a 5-lump kinetic model including catalyst decay function for hydrocracking of vacuum gas oil in a commercial plant is proposed. The model considers vacuum gas oil (VGO) having boil...

Cyclohexane oxidation on a novel Ti70Zr10Co20 catalyst containing quasicrystal.

Ti(70)Zr(10)Co(20) containing an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase has been fabricated, and presents high activity and selectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of cyclohexane with oxygen under solvent-free conditions.

Abatement of Benzyl Alcohol and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) from Polluted Air Over Nanostructured Mn -Supported Alumina Catalyst

Use of Pd/Activated Carbon Fiber Catalyst to Dehydrogenate Cyclohexane

Porous carbon materials have attracted growing attention among the different types of supports used in heterogeneous catalysis because of certain favorable characteristics, which are essentially their resistance to acidic/basic media, significant pore and surface tailorability, and ease of recovery of catalytic metals via combustion of the support material. Carbon fibers typically feature a rel...
