The influence of a highly oxygenated, polar protic reaction medium, that is, levulinic acid in 2-ethylhexanoic acid, on the dealumination of two zeolite-supported ruthenium catalysts, namely Ru/H-β and Ru/H-ZSM-5, has been investigated by 27 Al triple-quantum magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (3QMAS NMR). Upon use of these catalysts in the hydrogenation of levulinic a...

ZSM-5 zeolite is an aluminosilicate that usually has a high silica-to-alumina ratio. It contains two sets of nanopores. One set of nanopores is straight, with the cross-sectional size of 5.3 5.6 Å; the other set is Sshaped, with the cross-sectional size of 5.2 5.5 Å. An A1 atom at the center of an AlO4 tetrahedron connects to adjacent SiO4 tetrahedron by sharing an O atom and thus generates a n...

A new catalyst comprising cerium and silver ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite is reported in this paper, for the reduction of nitric oxide by methane in the presence of excess oxygen. The bi-cation exchanged Ce-Ag-ZSM-5 catalyst was very active for this reaction, while either Ce-ZSM-5 or Ag-ZSM-5 alone showed low activity. The presence of oxygen in the feed gas mixture enhanced the activity of the ca...

Abstract Catalytic decomposition is a promising way to eliminate ozone using manganese oxides. However, water-induced deactivation of the catalysts remains challenge for further application. In this work, series Ce-promoted MnO supported on ZSM-5 (Mn-xCe/ZSM-5) were developed decomposition, which exhibited superior catalytic performance. The characterized by multiple techniques. It indicated th...

In the present work, two sets of Co/ZSM-5 mesoporous catalysts with different acidity and Co loadings varying from 1 to 5 10 wt% were prepared using ZSM-5-A (Si/Al = 50) ZSM-5-B 150) as support. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that Co3O4 phase was formed in surface reducibility nanoparticles on greater comparison solid. situ FTIR pyridine adsorption characterization confirmed all contai...

The adsorption performance of Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst has been investigated in the SCR of NOx with propylene as the reducing agent. Freudlich equation was found to fit the adsorption isotherm satisfactorily if the system dispersion is considered. Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst showed reasonable NO adsorption capacity. The study on the influence of reaction temperature, gas space velocity and gas composition on th...

The catalytic conversion of palm oil was carried out over four zeolite catalysts—Y, ZSM-5, Y-ZSM-5 hybrid, and Y/ZSM-5 composite—to produce jet biofuel with high amount alkanes low aromatic hydrocarbons. hybrid catalyst synthesized using crystalline Y as the seed for growth ZSM-5. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field-emiss...

The characterization and catalytic performance of Zn/ZSM-5 Zn-B/ZSM-5 catalysts in the n-hexane aromatization was reported. Catalysts were prepared by post-synthesis ion exchange thoroughly characterized means XRD, Py-FTIR, N2 adsorption, 27Al 11B MAS NMR spectroscopy electron microscopy techniques. incorporation zinc reduces Brønsted acid site density increases Lewis acidic sites final ZSM-5 b...

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and dimethoxy methane (DMM) are of commercial interest because they are good fuel additives and building blocks for organic synthesis. Both products can be produced using Cu-exchanged ZSM-5 and Y from a mixture containing O2, CO, and CH3OH. Experimental studies done in our research group [1,2] have shown that at identical reaction conditions, very different product sele...
