The deactivation of Sn-Beta zeolite catalyst during retro-aldolization and isomerization of glucose is investigated. Confocal fluorescence microscopy reveals that retro-aldolization of glucose in CH3OH at 160 °C is accompanied with the build-up of insoluble oligomeric

The nature and evolution of the hydrocarbon pool (HP) species during the Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) process for three small-pore zeolite catalysts, with a different framework consisting of large cages interconnected by small eight-ring windows (CHA, DDR, and LEV) was studied at re

Methanol-to-olefins process over zeolite catalysts with DDR topology
Effect of composition and structural defects on catalytic performance
A systematic study of the effect of physicochemical properties affecting catalyst deactivation, overall olefin selectivity and ethylene/propylene ratio during the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction is presented for two zeolites with the DDR topology, namely Sigma-1 and ZSM-58. Bo

The front cover artwork for Issue 19/2016 is provided by researchers from the Catalysis Engineering group at TU Delft (The Netherlands). The image shows that after impregnation with Ca, ZSM-5 becomes a “super-catalyst”, which is able to suppress formation of aromatics thus increa

Incorporation of Ca in ZSM-5 results in a twofold increase of propylene selectivity (53 %), a total light-olefin selectivity of 90 %, and a nine times longer catalyst lifetime (throughput 792 gMeOH gcatalyst −1) in the methanol-to-olefins

Strategies for the Direct Catalytic Valorization of Methane Using Heterogeneous Catalysis
Challenges and Opportunities
In this Perspective, we highlight the main challenges to be addressed in the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the direct functionalization of methane. Along with our personal view on current developments in this field, we outline the main mechanistic, engineering, and c
