Hydrothermally synthesized high silica borosilicates with the MFI structure was subjected to several characterization techniques. The effect of boron on the structure and acidity of HZSM-5 catalyst were studied by XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption, solid state NMR, NH3-TPD. It was confirmed that boron had entered the framework in the boron samples. The results also revealed that strong acidity was weaken...

Cationic tri-tert-butylphosphinegold(I) serves as a catalyst in the sila-Cope rearrangement of acetylenic allylsilanes. When phenol is employed as a nucleophile, the reaction allows for the stereoselective synthesis of vinylsilanes. Alternatively, use of methanol as a nucleophile leads to cyclic vinylsilanes, which can be viewed as latent vinylsilanes that are revealed on treatment with a mild ...

Nano-SAPO-34 molecular sieves synthesized in a microwave environment with 20 nm crystal size showed a longer lifetime than SAPO-34 prepared by the conventional hydrothermal method in the reaction of methanol to olefins. It has been found that silicon distribution strongly affects the lifetime and selectivity. Thus, silicon at the border of the silicon islands gives a higher lifetime and lower C...

Methanol-to-olefins is a promising process that has attracted the attention of many research groups in last years. Zeolites are primary catalyst for this process, and SAPO-34 one most used because its high selectivity toward C2–C4 olefins. As drawback, it deactivates quickly forces to work alternately using reaction regeneration cycles. The mechanism by which still on debate, further needs be d...

The pyrolysis of the biomass Agave salmiana bagasse (10 K/min, ambient to 700 °C) was investigated in absence and presence Aerosil MCM-41 catalysts. synthetized using a typical hydrothermal method characterized with XRD, SAXS, SEM, TEM, nitrogen physisorption confirm unidimensional 3.4 nm diameter pores. Pyrolysis products were monitored online mass spectrometry (MS), analyzing production 29 di...

Crossbred barrows (n = 72) were used to evaluate effects of diet supplementation with modified tall oil (MTO; 0.0 or 0.50%) and vitamin E (0, 22, or 110 IU/kg) on growth performance, carcass traits, and longissimus muscle (LM) quality traits of finishing pigs. Pigs were blocked by ancestry and initial BW and allotted randomly to treatments in a 2 x 3 factorial. Corn-soybean meal-based diets wer...
