The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process is an alternative olefin production technology, with lower CO2 emission and higher energy-saving. This used for by almost 60% of the global feedstocks. Different parameters including operating conditions, feedstock properties, type catalyst can strongly affect activity product distribution. FCC catalysts contain zeolite as active component, a matrix, b...

The Front Cover shows a coarse solid residue particle, originating from the gasification of biomass, which acts as catalyst to produce high-value chemicals, such olefins, mixtures H2, CO, and CO2. heart developed material are nanoparticles, consisting iron carbides metal, together with some alkali elements, sodium potassium. latter elements act promotors boost production light olefins. This app...

A tandem catalytic reaction has been developed as part of a process to discover tungsten-based olefin metathesis catalysts that have a strong preference for terminal olefins over cis or trans internal isomers in olefin metathesis. This tandem isomerization/terminal olefin metathesis reaction (ISOMET) converts Cn trans internal olefins into C2n−2 cis olefins and ethylene. This reaction is made p...

Electrochemical reactions have proven to be valuable means for reversing the polarity of alkenes and triggering radical anionor radical cation-based cyclizing reactions. Anodic olefin coupling initiated by oxidation of electronrich olefins can provide powerful tools for achieving intramolecular cyclization reactions and building new ring systems. In this case, several combinations of olefins ca...

Unactivated acyclic internal aliphatic olefins are often found to be unreactive in conventional alkenylation reactions. To address this problem, a cobalt catalyzed allylic selective dehydrogenative Heck reaction with internal aliphatic olefins has been developed. The method is highly regioand stereoselective, the conditions are mild and a wide variety of functional groups can be tolerated. Rema...

Economic and powerful olefins separation is the most important technology for the energy optimisation and reduction of fossil fuel in petrochemical industry. On account of that the specific structures of olefins will make some influences on the separation, in this work, by means of density functional theory, we perform a theoretical estimation of the olefin-structure-induced effects on the reac...

The applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as catalysts have attracted much interests in catalysis community due to their unique porous microstructure and chemical properties. One of the promising results is the use of CNTs in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethylbenzene to styrene [1,2]. However, only few works were reported on the use of CNTs or other carbonaceous materials to catalyz...
