Infrared (IR) spectroscopy undoubtedly represents one of the most important tools in
catalysis research. In this review, recent catalytic applications of the most popular IR …

The hydrocarbon era1 began at the end of the 19th century, as a result of the discovery of oil
fields in the United States and together with the development of internal combustion …

Surface hydroxyl groups are active centers in many catalytic reactions and can play an
important role during catalyst preparation. In this chapter, the application of infrared …

Liquid-like fluids condense spontaneously within micropores of titanosilicates and
preferentially stabilize transition states for alkene epoxidations. Consequently, turnover rates …

Solvent selection is a pressing challenge in developing efficient and selective liquid phase
catalytic processes, as predictive understanding of the solvent effect remains lacking. In this …

Highly crystalline H-ZSM-5 zeolite samples with crystal sizes from 0.5 to 5μm and Si/Al ratios
ranging from 20 to 70 have been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, SEM and …

Two zeolites of different topology: ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 were subjected to desilication in the
NaOH solutions of increasing concentrations. Changes in the properties of modified zeolites …

Enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL) is produced in large quantities during the fermentation of
lignocellulosic biomass to produce ethanol, resulting in environmental pollution and …

The goal of this study was to investigate conversion features of phenol intermediates
produced in lignin pyrolysis into aromatic hydrocarbons (AH) over zeolite catalysts. Ten …

The amount, type, origin and strength distribution of acid sites on ZSM-5 zeolite were
analyzed with pyridine as a probe molecule, and with the aid of FTIR and interrupted …
