Impact of cationic surfactant chain length during SAPO-11 molecular sieve synthesis on structure, acidity, and n-octane isomerization to di-methyl hexanes

The structure, acidity, and n-octane di-branched isomerization of SAPO-11 synthesized with surfactants of different chain lengths in water-propanol system were investigated. The results showed that with the increasing chain length of surfactants, the crys

The effect of metal (Nb, Ru, Pd, Pt) supported on SBA-16 on the hydrodeoxygenation reaction of phenol

Ordered silica materials of SBA-16 type were synthesized, characterized as to their physicochemical properties and used as supports of the active phases which were niobium, ruthenium, palladium or platinum ions. Physicochemical properties of the systems o

IONIC LIQUID ALKYLATION OF 1-BUTENE TO PRODUCE 2,5-DIMETHYLHEXANE

A process for producing dimethylhexanes (DMH) is provided. The DMH can be used to produce p-xylene. The process involves the alkylation of isobutane and 1-butene using an ionic liquid to produce naphtha that is rich in DMH. The DMH is then converted in high selectivity to xylene, including p-xylene, by dehydrocyclization.
