Non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics over modified zeolite catalysts by transitional metals

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 ...

Oxidative coupling of methane over doped Li/MgO catalysts

A series of zirconia doped Li/MgO catalysts with a fixed amount of zirconia and varying concentrations of lithium was used for the oxidative coupling of methane. It was found that an increase in lithium concentration resulted in a decrease in initial activity, while the selectivity was not affected. The life-time of Zr doped Li/MgO catalysts with a fixed concentration of ZrOz is a function of t...

Oxidative coupling of methane with microwave and RF plasma catalytic reaction over transitional metals loaded on ZSM-5

In the microwave and radio frequency (RF) plasma catalytic reaction at room temperature, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over transitional metals loaded on ZSM-5 has been carried out. The transitional metals, Fe, Ni, Co and Cu (1B family element), loaded on ZSM-5 have been tested for the OCM using the plasma catalytic reaction. In this work, the conversion of methane to C2 products has ...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 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...

Catalytic and Non-catalytic Conversion of Methane to C2 Hydrocarbons in a Low Temperature Plasma

The direct conversion of methane to C2 hydrocarbons, in a quartz tube reactor enforced by a DC corona discharge, was investigated at atmospheric pressure. The process was carried out in the presence of metal oxide catalysts of Mn/W/SiO2, Mn/W/SiO2 (tetraethyl orthosilicate, TEOS), and Mn/W/CNT (supported on carbon nanotubes). The total yield to C2 hydrocarbons in the presence of metal oxide cat...
