High Stability of Methanol to Aromatic Conversion over Bimetallic Ca,Ga-Modified ZSM-5

The production of valuable aromatics and the rapid catalyst deactivation due to coking are intimately related in the zeolite-catalyzed aromatization reactions. Here, we demonstrate that these two processes can be decoupled by promoting the Ga/HZSM-5 aromatization catalyst with Ca. The resulting bimetallic catalysts combine high selectivity to...

An integrated approach to the key parameters in methanol-to-olefins reaction catalyzed by MFI/MEL zeolite materials

Identification of the catalyst characteristics correlating with the key performance parameters including selectivity and stability is key to the rational catalyst design. Herein we focused on the identification of property-performance relationships in the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process by studying in detail the catalytic behaviour of MFI,...

Novel high performance poly(p-phenylene benzobisimidazole) (PBDI) membranes fabricated by interfacial polymerization for H 2 separation

Membranes with high selectivity and permeance are needed to reduce energy consumption in hydrogen purification and pre-combustion CO ₂ capture. Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is one of the leading membrane materials for this separation. In this study, we present superior novel supported PBI (poly(p-phenylene benzobisimidazole), PBDI)...
