The synthesis of NaY-zeolite was performed hydrothermally. preparation the bifunctional catalysts achieved by loading NH4Y-zeolite with a cheap Zr metal, as second tiny amounts Pt to compose Pt-Zr/Y-zeolite catalyst. Different characterization methods (i.e., XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and AFM) were used investigate catalyst properties. catalytic performance studied performing hydroisomerization n-hept...

The catalytic Diels-Alder cycloaddition-dehydration (DACD) reaction of furanics with ethylene is a promising route to bio-derived aromatics. The reaction can be catalyzed by alkali-metal-exchanged faujasites. Herein, the results of periodic DFT calculations based on accurate structural models of alkali-metal-exchanged zeolites are presented, revealing the fundamental roles that confinement and ...

Incorporation of [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] (1) (where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine) in the molecular sieves of the type LTA, NaY and mesoporous Al-MCM-41 by using a “ship in a bottle synthesis” approach was investigated. [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] was successfullyincorporated in the channels ofmesoporousAl-MCM-41, and the product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, FTIR and BET analysis. It was fou...
