The mono(μ-oxo) dicopper cores present in the pores of Cu-ZSM-5 are active for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. However, copper on the external surface reduces the ratio of active, selective sites to unselective sites. More efficient catalysts are obtained by controlling the copper deposition during synthesis. Herein, the external exchange sites of ZSM-5 samples were passivated by ...

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...

The density functional theory (DFT) model ONIOM(M06L/6-311++G(2df,2p):UFF was employed to reveal the catalytic activity of Cu(II) in the paddle-wheel unit of the metal-organic framework (MOF)-505 material in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction compared with the activity of Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites. The aldol reaction between a silyl enol ether and formaldehyde catalyzed by the Lewis acidic site of both mater...

To improve the yield of propylene in fluidized catalytic cracking, a series different Au/ZSM-5-TOS catalysts were prepared by modifying ZSM-5, using an external surface modification method and Au nanoparticles. The modified catalyst maintained MFI structure whereas pore-opening size zeolite relatively decreased, without affecting its internal structure. acidity especially Brønsted acidity, redu...

Due to crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are important to be developed. Biogas or NG (Natural Gas) can be easily converted into methanol which can be reacted over zeolite to produce olefins and gasoline. HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been used in this study and its modification by (0.5wt%, 1wt%, 2wt% and 4wt %) Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts ...
