The role of pore topology on the behaviour of FCC zeolite additives
1999
Abstract A large variety of zeolite topologies including: large pore tridirectional (Beta), large pore unidirectional (Mordenite, SSZ-24), bidirectional 10 member ring pores (MRP) (ZSM-5), bidirectional 10 × 8 MRP (Ferrierite), tridirectional with connected 12 and 10 MRP (CIT-1), bidirectional with 12 MRP connected by 10 MRP (NU-87), tridirectional with 10 × 11 × 12 MRP (NU-86), and finally 10 MRP, and independent 12 MR cavities connected by 10 MR windows (MCM-22), have been studied as catalysts for the cracking of a gasoline range model molecule ( n -heptane). Kinetic and decay constants as well as selectivity parameters such as paraffin/olefin, i -C 4 / n -C 4 , i -C 5 / n -C 5 , C 3 /C 4…
Modelling of the cation motions in complex system: case of Na-mordenites
2002
Abstract Semi-empirical inter-atomic potentials and Monte Carlo algorithms are proposed to predict the evolution of the interaction energy between sodium ions and a mordenite type aluminosilicate network as a function of Si/Al ratio. This result is favourably compared with the activation energy barriers for Na + `jumps' responsible for the polarization change, measured by thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy, for Na-mordenites characterized by Si/Al ratios ranged from 5.5 to 12. Finally, we propose a possible mechanism for the cation motions, which involves activation barriers within the same order of magnitude than those measured by TSC.
Isomerization of C5–C7 n-alkanes on unidirectional large pore zeolites: activity, selectivity and adsorption features
2001
Abstract The hydroisomerization–hydrocracking of nC5–nC7 is studied with a 12MR unidirectional zeolite (ITQ-4). Selectivity and kinetic parameters indicate that differences in pore topology are more important than acidity for determining isomerization selectivity. The adsorption of the paraffins is determined by van der Waals interactions.
Spontaneous doping and magnetic properties of polyacetylene and polypropyne synthesized in situ in Ni-exchanged mordenite and mesoporous MCM-41
2001
Upon polymerisation of acetylene and propyne inside the channels of Ni2+-exchanged mordenite and mesoporous MCM-41 spontaneous doping and formation of antiferromagnetic NiO clusters are observed to various extents. The population of polarons present in the final polymer/zeolite composite: (i) is higher for polyacetylene than for polypropyne; (ii) increases with polymerisation temperature in the range 100 to 335 °C; (iii) increases with the C content; and (iv) is higher for mordenite than for MCM-41 under the same conditions. The use of Ni(0),H+-mordenite for polymer formation enhances the polaron population of the resulting polymer by over one order of magnitude. Doped polyacetylene encapsu…
