Deep desulfurization is a challenging task and global efforts are focused on the development of new approaches for the reduction of sulfur-containing compounds in fuel oils. In this work, we have proposed a new design strategy for the development of deep desulfurization heterogeneous catalysts. Based on the adopted design strategy, a novel composite material of polyoxometalate (POM)-based ionic...

In this paper, conventional SAPO-34 and Cerium Hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolites are synthesized using a hydrothermal method for methanol-to-propylene (MTP) reaction. The Ce-H-SAPO-34 catalyst shows a slightly larger crystal size, bimodal pore size distribution (microporous and mesoporous) and lower surface acidity compared to conventional SAPO-34 catalysts. According to these physicochemical prope...

The kinetics of catalyst deactivation and coke formation during dehydrogenation of propane over supported Pt–based catalysts and, in particular, the effect of alkali metal promoters on catalyst activity and stability were studied. The analysis of propane conversion data showed that there is an optimum level of alkali metal promoter loading for both catalyst activity and stability.A model ba...

ethylene polymerization was carried out using phillips chromium catalyst based on silica supports such as silicaaerogel, sio2 (grace 643), and titanium modified sio2 (g 643), and the results were compared with othercatalysts based on sio2 (aldrich), sba-15(hex), sba-15(sp) and mcm-41. a combination of tga, dsc, xrd,nitrogen adsorption, sem, icp, ftir and other analyses were used to characterize...

Novel C2-symmetric diiminosphosphoranes and diketimines are useful ligands for Pd-and Cu-catalyzed C±C bond forming reactions, Angermund's molecular modeling based on accessible molecular surface serving as a guide in predicting catalyst activity. The ®rst highly enantioselective diphosphites as ligands in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation are also described, the selectivity principle being based on i...

α-Hydroxy ketones are valuable synthons in organic chemistry. Here we show that oxidation of vic-diols to α-hydroxy ketones with H2O2 can be achieved with an in situ prepared catalyst based on manganese salts and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid. Furthermore the same catalyst is effective in alkene epoxidation, and it is shown that alkene oxidation with the MnII catalyst and H2O2 followed by Lewis ac...

Through dedication and intelligent research, Haldor Topsøe’s name has become synonymous with efficient and profitable ammonia production and has set the standard for ammonia catalysts and technology. We build upon this legacy with the introduction of an ammonia synthesis catalyst that delivers the highest performance ever – KM 111. KM 111 is a magnetite-based catalyst developed for optimal perf...

Dialkyl hexane-1,6-dicarbamate was synthesized, for the first time, by a one-pot reaction of 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA), urea, and alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol, in a self-designed batch reactor, using zinc-incorporated berlinite (ZnAlPO4) as a catalyst. The yield of dibutyl hexane-1,6-dicarbamate (2) was systematically investigated as a function of Zn/Al molar ratio...

Metallic contamination was key to the discovery of semiconductor nanowires, but today it stands in the way of their adoption by the semiconductor industry. This is because many of the metallic catalysts required for nanowire growth are not compatible with standard CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) fabrication processes. Nanowire synthesis with those metals that are CMOS compatible,...
