Quantification of Brønsted acid site densities in zeolites: an INS investigation
As part of an on-going industrial/academic collaboration in to the application of neutron spectroscopy to probe commercially relevant zeolites, this proposal seeks to use the... -
Diffusion studies using methane as a probe molecule to investigate the methan...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the... -
The application of INS to characterise iron based Fischer- Tröpsch catalysts ...
In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that... -
QENS studies of the interaction of propene with ZSM-5
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives are used in FCC units to convert gasoline... -
Further studies of the ethanol-to-gasoline reaction
In our recent beamtime (RB 1820043 TOSCA and RB 1820044 MAPS), we prepared a series of ZSM5 samples that had undergone the ethanol-to-gasoline (ETG) reaction for different times... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a Raney cobalt catalyst: An INS investigation
Building on a successful programme investigating aspects of iron based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, it is opportune to extend that work to include Co FTS... -
Studies of propene formation by gasoline cracking in steamed ZSM-5 by QENS
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units (shown below) are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives. These are used in FCC units to... -
Further investigation of the methanol to gasoline reaction over ZSM-5 using INS
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously...
