Hierarchical porous catalysts have recently attracted increasing interest because of the enhanced accessibility to active sites on such materials. In this context, previously reported hierarchically mesoporous ASN and ASPN materials are evaluated by applying them to the dehydration of glycerol, and demonstrate excellent catalytic performance. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of the ef...

Summary Molybdenum supported on zeolite HZSM-5 is the most studied catalyst for methane dehydroaromatization. However, nature of its catalytic sites and their deactivation mechanisms remain unclear controversial. Here, we report further insights into this system: first, crystal size determines form location active MoCx species, thus performance; second, are preferentially deactivated over acid ...

The dynamics of N2O decomposition to gaseous nitrogen and oxygen over HZSM-5 catalysts with a low iron content (200 and 1000 ppm) was studied by the transient response method in the temperature range 523–653 K. The active catalysts were prepared from HZSM-5 with Fe in the framework on its steaming at 823 K followed by thermal activation in He at 1323 K. Two main steps were distinguished in the ...

Aromatics and cyclic-hydrocarbons are the significant components of jet fuel with high energy-density. However, conventional technologies for bio-fuel production cannot produce these products without further aromatization and isomerization. In this work, renewable liquid fuel with high content of aromatics and cyclic-hydrocarbons was obtained through aqueous catalytic conversion of biomass sorb...

Due to crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are important to be developed. Biogas or NG (Natural Gas) can be easily converted into methanol which can be reacted over zeolite to produce olefins and gasoline. HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been used in this study and its modification by (0.5wt%, 1wt%, 2wt% and 4wt %) Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts ...
