The Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene was carried out in the liquid-phase batch conditions using Hmordenite, H-beta and H-Y zeolite as catalysts. All the catalysts showed 35–40% conversion in the temperature range of 100–150◦C. 1-Acyl-2-methoxynaphthalene was formed as the primary product. When acetyl chloride was used as the acylating agent, a higher yield of 6-acyl-2-methoxynap...

In this research, by a simple and modified method, nanoporous of Ni(II) ion loaded Y-type zeolite (NNZ) was designed and applied as a novel highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of quinoxalines, pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines, and indolo[2,3-b]quinoxalines 3a-s. These heterocycles were obtained through a one-pot condensation reaction of aryl-1,2-diamines with 1,2-dik...

2,4,6-Triphenylpyrylium cation encapsulated within zeolite Y promotes highly selective transformation of olefins to ketones with molecular oxygen, under visible light (lambda > 400 nm) irradiation at room temperature.

Catalyst S. Al-Khattaf* Chemical Engineering Department, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia Abstract Catalytic transformation of toluene has been investigated over Y-zeolite based catalysts in a novel riser simulator at different operating conditions. A number of experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 400-500C to understand the transformat...

Oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been encapsulated in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by flexible ligand method and characterized by metal analysis, IR spectroscopic studies and X-ray diffraction patterns. The encapsulated complexes abbreviated here as CuL-Y, MnL-Y and VOL-Y catalyz...

Zeolites are microporous crystalline materials with highly regular framework structures consisting of molecularsized pores and channels. The characteristic framework type of a zeolite is conventionally defined by combining information on its coordination sequences, vertex symbols, tiling, and transitivity information. Here we present a novel knowledge-based approach for zeolite framework type c...

In this work, we have modified a synthesized Y-type zeolite (Si/Al = 2.5), with three different amines to investigate of the influence of adsorbent’s surface modification on CO2 selectivity over CH4. The pristine and amine-functionalized NaY zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and N2 adsorption. The resu...

MFI type zeolite membranes were synthesized on two types of supporting materials, alumina (α-alumina) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coated alumina. Membranes were prepared by template-free secondary growth method with multiple growth steps in order to minimize intercrystalline gaps. Gas permeation characteristics, thermal and hydrothermal stability for MFI type zeolite membranes were exa...

a computational study of the electronic structure and stability of complexes formed between zeolite y and boric acid was carried out at the hf and b3lyp levels using 6-31g* basis set. five structures located as local minimum in pes of complex (structures d, e, f, g, and h). the most stable structure is formed due to hydrogen bonding between two hydroxyl of boric acid and both oxygen of ...

Ni-, Cu-, and Fe-loaded acidic and basic Y zeolites were synthesized, and their catalytic properties for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) to ethylene were characterized. Acidic Ni-loaded Y zeolite exhibits an ethylene productivity of up to 1:08 gC2H4 g 1 cat h 1 with a selectivity of 75%. Acidic Cuand Fe-loaded Y zeolites have an ethylene productivity of up to 0:37 gC2H4 g 1 cat h 1 a...
