Isolated hafnium (Hf) sites were prepared on Silicalite-1 and SiO2 investigated for acetone conversion to isobutene. Characterization by IR, 1H MAS NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy suggests that Hf atoms are bonded the support via three O have one hydroxyl group, i.e, (?SiO)3Hf-OH. In case of Hf/Silicalite-1, Hf-OH groups hydrogen bond with adjacent Si-OH form (?SiO)3Hf-OH···HO-Si? complexes. The turno...

In this research different types of Al2O3 were used as supports to prepare catalysts for dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene. These supports were Al2O3 from Merck, Axen and gamma Al2O3 synthesized from Al(OH)3. Sn/Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by sequential impregnation, at first Pt and then Sn was deposited. Characterization of catalysts was performed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD)...

The effect of olefin addition to a stream dimethyl ether on the methanol homologation reaction is investigated using iron-substituted zeolites Fe-beta and Fe-ZSM-5. was plug-flow microreactors in temperature range 240–400 °C, at total pressure 0.239 MPa WHSV 6.12 (g DME/g cat -hr). For (Si/Fe= 9.2) catalysts, isobutene co-feeding almost doubles (DME) consumption rate shifts selectivity towards ...
