Acetic acid (HOAc) was selected as a bio-oil model compound for the steam reforming of bio-oil for hydrogen production. The influence of temperature and steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C) on the steam reforming of HOAc over hydrogen-type Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (HZSM-5) and the catalyst with added Pd (Pd/HZSM-5) have been investigated in a fixedbed reactor. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measureme...

The photocatalytic decomposition of 2-, 3and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (2CB, 3CB and 4CB, respectively) with TiO2 loaded on HZSM-11 zeolite was investigated. The optimum decomposition rate of 2CB was obtained with TiO2/HZSM-11(30%) (TiO2 30 wt.%) catalyst at a concentration of 1 mg mL. 2CB and 3CB decompose at similar rates, but 4CB remains adsorbed on TiO2/HZSM-11(30%) without further degradation....

Catalysts with a Zn/H+ molar ratio ranging from 0 (H-ZSM5) to 1.8 (Zn/H-ZSM5), were prepared by wet impregnation three commercial zeolites Si/Al of 15, 40 and 75. The texture, acidity reactivity the bifunctional catalysts characterized by: N2, IR followed adsorption pyridine NH3-TPD, tested at 500 °C low partial pressure ethylene (PC2H4 = 0.005 MPa) high GHSV (ca 13,300 h−1). intrinsic activity...

This paper deals with maximizing dimethyl ether (DME) production from methanol due to its industrial importance as a future diesel fuel. The high acidity and the micro-porous structure of the catalysts encouraged this reaction. Catalysts containg 6% CuO supported on H-ZSM-5 and H-MOR zeolites give high activities for DME production. The 6% CuO/HMOR is more selective for DME production, while th...

The influence of the amount of alumina binders on the catalytic performance of Ni/HZSM-5 for hydrodeoxygenation of cyclohexanone was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction, H2-chemisorption and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia were used to characterize the catalysts. It can be observed that the Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst bound with 30 wt.% alumina binder exhibit...

Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) using Fe-Co/meso-HZSM-5 catalyst has been investigated. The impregnated iron and cobalt on HZSM-5 could be used as bifunction which combined polimerizing synthesis gas long hydrocarbon cracking for making biofuel (saturated C5–C25 hydrocarbons gasoline, kerosene diesel oil). study emphasized the effect of weight product composition process conversion. HZSM-5, had...

This study investigates the stability and activity of HZSM-5 doped with metals such as molybdenum, nickel, copper, and iron under hydrothermal conditions used for the direct liquefaction of microalgae. Catalysts have been prepared by ion-exchange techniques, and MoZSM-5 was also prepared by wet incipient impregnation for comparison. Hydrothermal liquefaction is considered a potential route to c...

Three kinds of HZSM-5 nanoparticles with different acidity were tailored by impregnating MgO or varying Si/Al ratios. Both the textural and acidic properties of the as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and Fourier transform infr...
