ABSTRACT Hierarchical ZSM-11 and Zn-ZSM-11 catalysts were used in this study. The effects of two methods (direct synthesis and impregnation) of zinc incorporation on methanol conversion were investigated in a continuous-flow isotherm fixed-bed reactor. XRD, SEM, BET, FTIR, and XRF analytical results revealed that the introduction of zinc through direct synthesis generated new Brønsted acid site...

Alkaline protease from brinjal leaf (Solanum melongena) having milk clotting activity has been purified to 9.44 fold to a final specific activity of 45.71 U/mg. SDS-PAGE of the final preparation revealed a single protein band of approx 14 kDa. Purified enzyme was characterized and was successfully immobilized into the amorphous mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and crystalline mesoporous zeolite (Nano...

Direct catalytic conversion of ethanol to hydrocarbon blend-stock can increase biofuels use in current vehicles beyond the ethanol blend-wall of 10-15%. Literature reports describe quantitative conversion of ethanol over zeolite catalysts but high C2 hydrocarbon formation renders this approach unsuitable for commercialization. Furthermore, the prior mechanistic studies suggested that ethanol co...

Zeolite fibers have attracted growing interest for a range of new applications because of their structural particularity while maintaining the intrinsic performances of the building blocks of zeolites. The fabrication of uniform zeolite fibers with tunable hierarchical porosity and further exploration of their catalytic potential are of great importance. Here, we present a versatile and facile ...

The hydrodeoxygenation of various phenols to form cyclohexanes was achieved at 110 °C under an H2 atmosphere at ambient pressure using a Pt/H-ZSM-5 catalyst and octane as the solvent.

Mesoporous MFI zeolites (including M-S-1 and M-ZSM-5) with intracrystal mesopores and self-stacked morphology have been synthesized via a hydrothermal route using cationic polymers as a template.

In order to improve the adsorption performance of molecular sieve honeycomb ceramics for VOCs, author proposes a research method VOCs based on loaded with sieves. The prepared cordierite ceramic-supported HY, Na Y, USY, ZSM-5-300, and ZSM-5-360 monolithic materials by coating method. Using toluene, ethyl acetate, isopropanol, acetone as adsorbates, properties single-component mixed-component or...

The selective oxidation of methane to methanol is a key challenge in catalysis. Iron and copper modified ZSM-5 catalysts are shown to be effective for this reaction using H2O2 as the oxidant under continuous flow operation. Co-impregnation of ZSM-5 with Fe and Cu by chemical vapour impregnation yielded catalysts that showed high selectivity to methanol (> 92% selectivity, 0.5 % conversion), as ...

Non-oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane (MDA) is a promising catalytic process for direct valorization of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons. The application of this reaction in practical technology is hindered by a lack of understanding about the mechanism and nature of the active sites in benchmark zeolite-based Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts, which precludes the solution of problems such as rapid ...
