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 production of aromatic hydrocarbons from cellulose by zeolite-catalyzed fast pyrolysis involves a complex reaction network sensitive to the zeolite structure, crystallinity, elemental composition, porosity, and acidity. The interplay of these parameters under the reaction conditions represents a major roadblock that has hampered significant improvement in catalyst design for over a decade. ...

The objective of this project was to develop and apply fundamentally based experimental andcomputational methodologies that can lead to the design of improved supercritical fuel/catalyst/heatexchanger systems for cooling hypersonic vehicles. This project was a multi-team effort involvingresearchers at the University of Delaware, United Technologies Research Center, and the Colorado<...

Formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) was studied using different platinum-zeolites hybrid catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by addition of two forms the ZSM-5 zeolite (ZSM-5-H+ and ZSM-5-NH4+) to an ink containing Vulcan carbon support Pt nanoparticles (NPs). TEM images demonstrate a proper mixture components in good dispersion NPs mainly over carbon. Both zeolites (ZSM-5-NH4+ ZSM-5-H+) a...

In the present work, two sets of Co/ZSM-5 mesoporous catalysts with different acidity and Co loadings varying from 1 to 5 10 wt% were prepared using ZSM-5-A (Si/Al = 50) ZSM-5-B 150) as support. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that Co3O4 phase was formed in surface reducibility nanoparticles on greater comparison solid. situ FTIR pyridine adsorption characterization confirmed all contai...

Fe–Cu–ZSM-5 and Ce–Fe–Cu–ZSM-5 solids prepared using solid-state ion exchange method (SSIE) were tested in the NH3–SCR of NO reaction characterized N2 physisorption at 77 K, MAS 27Al magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, EPR spectroscopy transmission microscopy coupled to energy-dispersive order follow effect Ce addition on textural structural properties Fe–Cu–MFI...

In a proof-of-concept study we demonstrate in situ reaction monitoring of DeNO(x)-SCR on proton-conducting zeolites serving as catalyst and gas sensor at the same time. By means of temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy we found that the thermally induced NH(3) desorption in H-form and in Fe-loaded zeolite H-ZSM-5 follow the same process, while a remarkable difference under DeNO(x)-SCR re...

abstract aims: the application of photocatalytic processes to remove heavy metals in aqueous solutions and industrial wastewater are regarded as extremely effective, clean and without producing waste methods. the goal of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zno based on h-zsm-5 zeolite support. materials & methods: zno/h-zsm-5 composite synthesized by impregnation...
