the polymeric and non-polymeric petrochemical wastes are environmentally unfavorable materials. we have to found a way to reuse these wastes in a safe manner. in styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr) production plant two major wastes are produced one is a fine rubber powder and the other is recycled n-methyl pyrrolidone (nmp). in high-density polyethylene (hdpe) production plant also a low molecular w...

A Cu-doped zeolite ZSM-5 (Cu-ZSM-5-M) with a micro-meso-macroporous structure was directly synthesized, and it exhibits excellent catalytic activity and good recyclability in the cross-coupling of aryl halides with diphenyl disulfides. This feature should be attributed to the structural characteristics of meso-macropores and homogeneous dispersion of active Cu(δ+) (δ < 2) species in Cu-ZSM-5-M.

The Brønsted acid-catalyzed oligomerization of 4-fluorostyrene has been studied on a series of H-ZSM-5 zeolite powders, steamed under different conditions, with a combination of UV-Vis micro-spectroscopy and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM). UV-Vis micro-spectroscopy and STXM have been used to monitor the relative formation of cyclic and linear dimeric carbocations as a function of...

The present work introduces the study of the CO2 capture process by zeolites synthesized from paper sludge and scrap glass. Zeolites ZSM-5, analcime and wairakite were produced by means of two types of Structure Directing Agents (SDA): tetrapropilamonium (TPA) and ethanol. On the one hand, zeolite ZSM-5 was synthesized using TPA; on the other hand, analcime and wairakite were produced with etha...

Mesoporous and conventional Fe-containing ZSM-5 catalysts (0.5–8 wt% Fe) were prepared using a simple impregnation method and tested in NO selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with NH3. It was found that mesoporous Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts exhibit higher SCR activities than comparable conventional catalysts. Furthermore, conventional Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts have maximum activity at ~ 2.5 wt% Fe while for t...

ZSM-5-containing catalytic additives are widely used in oil refineries to boost light olefin production and improve gasoline octanes in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process. Under the hydrothermal conditions present in the FCC regenerator (typically >700 °C and >8% steam), FCC catalysts and additives are subject to deactivation. Zeolites (e.g., Rare Earth USY in the base catalyst and ZSM-...

_____________________________________________________________ Different catalysts based on Y-zeolite, ZSM-5 and amorphous kaolin were prepared and characterized. The catalytic cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB), 1,4diisopropylbenzene (1,4-DIPB) and n-dodecane were used to investigate the effect of catalyst nature on the catalytic performance. Cracking the largest molecule (1,3,5...

In order to improve the sensing properties of tin dioxide gas sensor, four kinds of different SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio, different particle size of MFI type zeolites (ZSM-5) were coated on the SnO₂ to prepared zeolite modified gas sensors, and the gas sensing properties were tested. The measurement results showed that the response values of ZSM-5 zeolite (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 70, grain size 300 nm) coated SnO₂ ...

Molecular-sized micropores of ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts provide spatial restrictions around catalytic sites that allow for shape-selective catalysis. However, the fact that ZSM-5 has two main pore systems with different geometries is relatively unexploited as a potential source of additional shape selectivity. Here, we use confocal laser-scanning microscopy to show that by changing the polarity o...
