The growing demand for clean and efficient fuels in the world reflects the rapid growth in
automotive vehicles and more stringent environmental regulations. Hence, the refining …

Although research in renewables is growing at a tremendous rate, the world will still be
greatly dependent on fossil fuels for at least the first half of this century. In the quest for more …

The alkylation process of isobutane with butene is important in the petroleum industry. Ionic
liquids (ILs) are considered as attractive alternative catalysts for iso butane alkylation …

Abstract The application of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in gas phase heterogeneous
catalysis is still not widely spread because of their limited stability under reaction conditions …

The sulfated zirconia was prepared by directly impregnating ammonium persulphate on the
crystalline zirconia and followed by the calcination temperatures of 300–500° C. The …

Al-Incorporated sulfated zirconia with improved and stabilized surface sulfur species was
synthesized via the co-precipitation method and used as an effective catalyst to remove …

MoO 3/ZrO 2 catalysts were prepared either by wet impregnation or tableting dry mechanical
mixtures of corresponding zirconium hydroxide and molybdenum containing precursors. It …

CuHY samples prepared by solid-state ion exchange of HY zeolite with CuCl were used as
catalysts in isobutane/2-butene alkylation. The results show that both the addition amount of …

A series of sulfated zirconia (SZ) catalysts were synthesized by immersion of amorphous
zirconium hydroxide in sulfuric acid of various concentrations (1–5 N). These samples were …

Sulfated zirconia (SZ) and two promoted 1% Mn/SZ catalysts which have been prepared via
sol gel (Mn/SZ-S) and impregnation (Mn/SZ-I) methods were studied. The morphology of the …
