IV. Transalkylation between Benzene and Diethylbenzene over Alumina-Boria Catalyst

Bifunctional transalkylation and hydrodeoxygenation of anisole over a Pt/HBeta catalyst

The catalytic conversion of anisole (methoxybenzene), a phenolic model compound representing a thermal conversion product of biomass lignin, to gasoline-range molecules has been investigated over a bifunctional Pt/HBeta catalyst at 400 C and atmospheric pressure. The product distribution obtained on the bifunctional catalyst was compared with those obtained on monofunctional catalysts (HBeta an...

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

A DFT study of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene to styrene over zirconium vanadate catalyst

A DFT modeling of the transition state of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene over zirconium vanadate catalyst has been carried out. Computations confirm a Mars-Van-Krevelen type redox mechanism in which the catalyst abstracts a hydrogen atom from the hydrocarbon and catalyst is reduced. The reduced catalyst is reoxidized by oxygen from air. Computations suggest the formation of a hydroxy...

Catalytic ozone oxidation of benzene at low temperature over MnOx/Al-SBA-16 catalyst

The low-temperature catalytic ozone oxidation of benzene was investigated. In this study, Al-SBA-16 (Si/Al = 20) that has a three-dimensional cubic Im3m structure and a high specific surface area was used for catalytic ozone oxidation for the first time. Two different Mn precursors, i.e., Mn acetate and Mn nitrate, were used to synthesize Mn-impregnated Al-SBA-16 catalysts. The characteristics ...

Boria in Malaysia

This article is investigating Boria which is a kind of common performance in Malaysia. Boria has been known as Boria and Borea and both are correct, but Boria is more common. Boria is a folk performance unique to Penang. This theatre style reached Penang in the mid-19th century and is believed to be derived from the Shia Islamic Passion play performed during the Muslim month of Muharram to comm...
