Hydrocracking of saturated hydrocarbons can proceed by means of four distinctly different
mechanisms. On bifunctional catalysts comprising hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and …

Bitumen-derived crude and heavy oils require severe processing and produce middle
distillate product with poor ignition quality. This becomes a concern to refiners as tighter …

Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass from pine wood was carried out in a fluidized bed reactor at
450° C. Different structures of acidic zeolite catalysts were used as bed material in the …

Cetane number improvement of diesel fuels is a difficult task that refiners will face in the near
future. Aromatics saturation by deep hydrogenation is a necessary, but perhaps not sufficient …

MFI zeolite nanosheets tailored to 2.5-nm thickness were synthesized using a surfactant-
type zeolite structure-directing agent,[C22H45–N+ (CH3) 2–C6H12–N+ (CH3) 2–C6H13](Br …

The removal of polynuclear aromatics from diesel fuel in response to increasingly stringent
environmental legislation has stimulated intense research. In addition to the hydrogenation …

The selective C–C bond cleavage of mono-and bicyclic naphthenic molecules via catalytic
ring opening plays a vital role in refining low-quality fossil oils and pyrolysis oils derived from …

The metal− support interactions on a series of catalysts of different acidities, including
platinum-modified zeolites and H− MCM-41, are investigated by means of XPS, CO and …

The activity and selectivity of platinum-modified zeolites (Beta, Y, Mordenite) were
investigated in the ring opening of decalin at 473–543 K in the presence of hydrogen. In the …

The three-dimensionally ordered macroporous Beta (3DOM-Beta) zeolite was prepared and
used as support of NiW sulfide catalyst for hydrocracking. The as-prepared NiW/3DOM-Beta …
