Chemindix 2016 Keynote: Novel Catalyst Technologies for Petrochemicals

    Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talkResearch

    Description

    Zeolite catalysts are successfully applied in hydrocarbon processing because of their versatile properties; the size and shape of crystallites, their pore size, surface area and chemical composition (namely their wide limits of Si/Al). All of these properties can be altered through synthetic or post-synthetic methodologies using either a bottom up or a top down approach. This talk covered modifications of nano- and large crystalline forms of ZSM-5 and their application to improving olefin and para-xylene yield in targeted processes respectively as well as the novel production of supported alumina and zeolite catalysts by plasma.
