Catalytic CO<sub>2</sub> hydrosilylation is a chemical process that could be potentially applied to large-scale transformations.
AbstractAlkylbenzenes form an important segment of petrochemical industry for the manufacture widely used commodities and specialty products. Since last review on this topic (8), numerous new zeolite-based catalysts have been synthesized, characterized evaluated in various transformations aromatic hydrocarbons. This comprehensive covers major reactions mono-, di-, tri-alkylbenzenes such as disproportionation, alkylation, transalkylation, isomerization, etc., over different acid catalysts....
The direct conversion of crude oil to light olefins is considered one the cheapest and most reliable sources petrochemical primary feedstocks. Unlike in past when refineries operated produce mainly transportation fuels, such as gasoline diesel, many worldwide are considering tandem production both fuels chemicals (particularly, olefins). To achieve this, refining technology, process optimization, catalyst formulations may have be reconfigured. Developing active selective catalysts for...
Reaction of 1-butene was studied over silicalite-1 and H-ZSM-5 zeolites with different Al contents (SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio (Si/Al2) = 23, 80, 280) to explore an efficient catalyst for the formation propene as well elucidate reaction scheme relevant acid sites involved in reaction. The alkenes, including propene, increased those alkanes aromatics decreased decreasing content. percentage alkenes other than n-butene isomers 60 C-wt % at 550 °C 34.1 propene. Over Si/Al2 negligible, main products...
The catalytic cracking of light paraffinic crude oil with an API gravity 51° was compared using two laboratory testing techniques, a fixed-bed microactivity test (MAT) unit and fixed fluidized-bed advanced evaluation (ACE) unit. Both units were operated equilibrated FCC catalyst (E-Cat), MFI zeolite (ZSM-5), E-Cat/MFI (equal mixture MFI) at temperatures (550 600 °C) constant catalyst-to-oil ratio 4.0. Despite the different hydrodynamics in MAT ACE reactors, both gave similar ranking based on...
Naphtha is the main feedstock used in production of gasoline and benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) aromatics, which are widely applied as chemical intermediates fields packaging, synthetic fibers, solvents. This article reviews recent literature regarding catalytic conversion naphtha to higher-value BTX terms catalysts used, catalyst properties, reaction mechanisms, kinetic modeling, operating conditions, product selectivity. Most studies focused on ZSM-5 modified using Ga, Zn, Ni, Co, Cu, Fe,...
