Ru(III)-exchanged FAU-Y zeolite was used as an efficient reusable heterogeneous catalyst for preparation of oxindoles from condensation reaction of indoles with isatins under very mild reaction conditions.

Cu-exchanged Y zeolite was investigated in order to determine the location of the copper cations relative to the zeolite framework and to determine which Cu cations are active for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Cu-Y zeolite was prepared by vapor-phase exchange of H-Y with CuCl. The oxidation state, local coordination, and bond distances of Al and Cu were de...

The aim of this work was to establish the effects of zeolite structure/chemical composition on the activity and selectivity of Cu-exchanged Y (Si/Al = 2.5), ZSM-5 (Si/Al = 12), and Mordenite (Si/Al = 10) for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC. Catalysts were prepared by solid-state ion-exchange of the H-form of each zeolite with CuCl and were then characterized by FTIR and X-ray abs...

_____________________________________________________________ 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...

Octanoic acid (OA) was used as reactant with medium chain length to model the aliphatic carboxylic acids which can be produced by catalytic, thermochemical or biological degradation of biomass. A flow through reactor was applied at 21 bar total pressure (in general at 20 bar hydrogen and 1 bar octanoic acid partial pressures) and 330-380 °C. Cu A-, Xand Y-zeolite based catalysts were pretreated...

In this study, adsorption measurement of various chlorinated hydrocarbons on Y-type zeolites were performed using the chromatographic method to examine the adsorption phenomena. Dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform (TCM), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE), were used as the chlorinated hydrocarbons, and PQ-USY, USY-6.18, Na-Y, HSZ-390HUD, Pentasile-2 and Pentacil-1 were used as...

Employing the strategy of quaternization of the 2,2' N atoms of the conjugated bipyridine ligand 1,4-bis[2-(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyrid-4-yl)ethenyl]benzene (L), a polypyridyl complex of ruthenium(II) was tethered on the surface of zeolite Y. Electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of the complex suggest that, upon visible photoexcitation of the MLCT band, the electron is localized on the conju...

Si-NMR, gas adsorption and SAXS results are discussed to determine if the geometry and the electronic properties of Si sites, present in the MCM-41walls, are more similar to threethan to four-fold coordinated sites. The features of Si-MCM-41, SBA-15, Y zeolite and silica (SiO2), characterized by several techniques, are compared. It is shown that the pre-polymer geometries are similar to those o...

in this research, adsorption of dibenzothiophene (dbt) as a model of sulfur containing material has been studied by pb exchanged y-zeolite under different experimental conditions. the adsorption was kinetically fast and high adsorption capacity was obtained. the equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using langmuir and freunlich isotherm models. the corresponding parameters and correlation c...
