Metal promotion is broadly applied to enhance the performance of heterogeneous catalysts fulfill industrial requirements. Still, generating and quantifying effect promoter speciation that exclusively introduces desired properties ensures proximity or accommodation within active site durability upon reaction very challenging. Recently, In
The description of heterogeneous catalysis is challenged by the intricacy numerous multi-scale processes that govern performance catalyst materials. chemical environment catalytic process and kinetics structural changes create configurations typically unknown local geometries chemistry. These may result in significant activity or selectivity within minutes, hours, longer, during so-called induction period. Here, we use experimental data together with a focused artificial-intelligence (AI)...
Electric plasma activation of methane opens up the possibility to produce ethene, an important platform chemical in industry, by using sustainable resources like biogas or hydrogenated carbon dioxide and electricity from renewable energies. The ethene stream such pyrolysis plants contains, however, much higher concentrations acetylene (≥ 15 vol.%) compared conventional steam cracking naphtha (< 2 vol.%). In this study, silver‐palladium catalysts various compositions supported on alumina...

The effect of multiple parameters on the selective hydrogenation acetylene in equimolar acetylene–ethylene streams supported PdAg catalysts was studied, and optimal conditions were found for high conversion, selectivity, catalyst stability.
Abstract Oxymethylene ethers are a diesel additive/alternative, which reduce pollutant emissions. Based on methanol, it is possible to produce them from renewable energy and CO 2 . Sulfonated ion exchange resins known catalyze the synthesis of OME in liquid phase. Here, we report that sulfonated polymer polyether‐ether‐ketone (S‐PEEK) exhibits outstanding catalytic properties gas phase n PEEK was reacted with gaseous SO 3 degree 22 % monomer units. Using this material as catalyst direct...
