This paper represents a detailed techno-economic analysis of typical commercial-scale catalytic decarboxylation process naphthenic acids over HZSM-5 zeolite. Simulation the has been performed in ASPEN Plus®. The performance modeled unit was compared to experimental results data from similar plant. Two models were developed for proposed industrial plant based on continuous flow reactors; first i...

The nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) ternary-doped metal-free porous carbon materials have been successfully synthesized using MOFs as templates (denoted as NPS-C-MOF-5) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for the first time. The influences of porous carbons from carbonizing different MOFs and carbonization temperature on ORR have been systematically investigated. Due to the synergi...

oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide over silver catalyst and selenium modified catalyst has been studied by continuous flow and pulse techniques over the temperature range of 230-280 °c. the results are discussed in terms of reaction mechanisms proposed by others, rejecting mechanisms which involve peroxide formation. it has been shown that not only selectivity towards ethylene oxide produc...

Catalytic dehydrogenation of ethanol produces acetaldehyde, an important precursor for several value-added chemicals such as acetic acid and acetate esters. In this paper, we demonstrate that Zn-containing MFI zeolites are highly active selective catalysts process. Furthermore, show their activity selectivity depend on the chemical composition preparation catalysts. The best catalyst comprises ...

Solid acid catalyst plays a crucial role in the petroleum refinery industry and bio-refinery technology. In this work, p-phenolsulfonic (PSA) was successfully grafted onto surface of KH560-modified zirconium phosphate (K-ZrP) facile routine. The structure property organic-inorganic combined solid PSA/K-ZrP-x were characterized via XRD, FTIR, 13C solid-state NMR, TG, N2 adsorption-desorption, SE...

Different acid catalysts (silicoaluminophosphates (SAPOs) -34, −18, and − 11, HZSM-5 zeolite) were tested as components of In2O3-ZrO2/acid tandem in the direct synthesis light olefins by hydrogenation CO2, CO their mixture. The conversion yield selectivity evidence that presence large amount strongly acidic sites SAPO-34 favors extent reaction mechanism with methanol intermediate, minimizing se...

The metallic Co catalyst for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction is prepared by reduction of Co salts impregnating microporous silica. The average size of the metallic Co clusters is determined from the average number of neighbours deduced from Co K-edge EXAFS of catalyst samples. A model EXAFS signal constructed from the scattering paths of Co metal fcc lattice with lengths up to 5 A is calibrated on...
