HYDROISOMERIZATION OF NORMAL PARAFFIN HYDROCARBONS C16+ ON BIFUNCTIONAL ZEOLITE-CONTAINING CATALYSTS

Synthesis of novel perfluoroalkylglucosides on zeolite and non-zeolite catalysts.

Perfluoroalkylglucosides comprise a very important class of fluorine-containing surfactants. These compounds can be synthesized by using the Fisher reaction, starting directly from glucose and the required perfluoroalcohols. We wish to report on the use of zeolite catalysts of different structure and composition for the synthesis of perfluoroalkylglucosides when using glucose and 1-octafluorope...

Thermal Conductivity and Melting Point Measurements on Paraffin- Zeolite Mixtures

This paper presents measurements of the thermal conductivity of paraffins mixtured with zeolites of the type 5A and 13X. Because of their high enthalpy change at the phase transition paraffins are able to store more thermal energy at nearly isothermal conditions than sensible heat materials. The poor thermal conductivity of paraffins is a disadvantage, however. The zeolite provides a structure ...

Design of hierarchical zeolite catalysts by desilication

Reactivity of surface alkoxy species on acidic zeolite catalysts.

[Reaction: see text]. A solid understanding of the mechanisms involved in heterogeneously catalyzed reactions is of fundamental interest for modern chemistry. This information can help to refine modern theories of catalysis and, in a very practical way, can help researchers to optimize existing industrial processes and develop new ones. To understand the mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysis, w...
