Dialkylaluminum hydride, heating, and oxidation create defined Lewis aluminum sites in zeolites for tighter acidity control and catalytic selectivity.
A mesoporous silica-alumina binder and Group VIII noble metals drive aromatic hydrogenation, reducing feed aromatics while improving catalyst longevity.
Mesoporous inorganic-oxide catalysts with non-noble metals depolymerize and deoxygenate lignin into higher-value aromatic hydrocarbons.
Pyrolyzed phenolic resin forms a conductive carbon network that delivers localized Joule heating and limits hot and cold spots.
Base-mediated zeolite reassembly creates cubic, long-range mesopore order that improves diffusion and catalytic-site access.
ODSO compounds help disperse active metals across porous hydroprocessing catalyst surfaces while giving DSO by-products a useful refinery role.
