Nature and Location of Carbonaceous Species in a Composite HZSM-5 Zeolite Catalyst during the Conversion of Dimethyl Ether into Light Olefins
(MDPI, 2017-09)
The deactivation of a composite catalyst based on HZSM-5 zeolite (agglomerated in a matrix using boehmite as a binder) has been studied during the transformation of dimethyl ether into light olefins. The location of the ...
Capability of the Direct Dimethyl Ether Synthesis Process for tCapability of the Direct Dimethyl Ether Synthesis Process for the Conversion of Carbon Dioxide
(MDPI, 2018-05)
The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) is an ideal process to achieve the environmental objective of CO2 conversion together with the economic objective of DME production. The effect of the reaction conditions ...
Oxidative Steam Reforming of Raw Bio-Oil over Supported and Bulk Ni Catalysts for Hydrogen Production
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Several Ni catalysts of supported (on La2O3-alpha Al2O3, CeO2, and CeO2-ZrO2) or bulk types (Ni-La perovskites and NiAl2O4 spinel) have been tested in the oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of raw bio-oil, and special attention ...
Effect of La2O3 promotion on a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for H2 production in the inline biomass pyrolysis-reforming
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-11-19)
[EN] The effect of La2O3 addition on a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst has been studied in the biomass pyrolysis and in-line catalytic steam reforming process. The results obtained using homemade catalysts (Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/La2O3-Al2O3) ...
Effect of CeO2 and MgO promoters on the performance of a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst in the steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-10-25)
A Ni/Al2O3 catalyst has been modified incorporating CeO2 and MgO promoters in order to improve its performance in the steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis volatiles. Ni/Al2O3, Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 and Ni/MgO-Al2O3 catalysts have ...
Influence of reactor and condensation system design on tyre pyrolysis products yields
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-09-07)
This study investigates the effect the pyrolysis reactor and the condensing system type have on the tyre derived oil (TDO) and DL-limonene yield, as well as benzothiazole concentration in the TDO. All the experiments were ...
