Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

Thanks to various crystalline topologies, tunable chemical composition, high (hydro)thermal stability, and controllable surface acidity/basicity, zeolites are widely used in petroleum refining, ...

Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a cobalt catalyst that transforms polymers into propane selectively and efficiently (JACS Au, 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00402). This method could provide an ...

A research team discovers new zeolite catalysts for catalytic cracking applications. A research team at POSTECH has uncovered a promising new zeolite, anticipated to be a turning point for the oil ...

The optimal design of a novel zeolite catalyst enables tandem reaction that turns greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals, report scientists. By tuning the separation between different active ...

Today’s fuels rely mainly on petroleum. Scientists are exploring for ways to manufacture fuels that do not require petroleum as demand rises. A team of researchers set out to investigate the function ...

(Nanowerk News) Zeolites crystals, used among other things for refining petroleum to gasoline and biomass into biofuels, are the most-used catalysts by weight on the planet, and discovering mechanisms ...

Methanol-to-olefin (MTO) conversion is one of the most successful non-petrochemical routes for producing light olefins. Silicoaluminophosphate zeolite SAPO-34 is one of the best industrial catalysts ...

Zeolites (pronounced “zee-uh-lites”) might not turn up in your everyday conversation, but they are in use all around you — from replacing phosphates in powdered laundry detergents to reducing air ...

Thousands of chemical processes used by the energy industry and for other applications rely on the high speed of catalytic reactions, but molecules frequently are hindered by molecular traffic jams ...
