Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of diesel fuel on a continuous fixed-bed reactor
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the electronics and geometry of the reactant as well as the pore dimensions, topology, and adsorption properties of the catalyst on the rate of desulfurization were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroisomerization of Pentane, Hexane, and Heptane for Improving the Octane Number of Gasoline
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used unidirectional 12-membered ring (MR) zeolites with different pore diameters and other pore topologies, including one with connected 12×10 MR pores and two tridirectal 12 MR zeolite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the Pore Topology of Zeolite IM-5 by Means of Catalytic Test Reactions and Hydrocarbon Adsorption Measurements
A. Corma,A. Chica,J.M. Guil,Francisco J. Llopis,Gil Mabilon,J.A. Perdigón-Melón,Susana Valencia +6 more
TL;DR: The pore topology of a recently synthesized zeolite IM-5 has been determined by means of catalytic test reactions, i.e., n -decane hydroisomerization-cracking, m -xylene isomerization−disproportionation, n -hexadecane isodewaxing, and adsorption-microcalorimetry of molecules with different sizes and shapes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Mechanism of Alkane Isomerisation (Isodewaxing) with Unidirectional 10-Member Ring Zeolites. A Molecular Dynamics and Catalytic Study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics techniques to simulate the diffusion of n-heptane, 2-methylhexane and cyclopropane reaction intermediates in two unidimensional medium pore zeolites, ZSM-48 and Theta-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of non-catalytic transesterification of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) seed oil using supercritical methanol to biodiesel production
Nuria García-Martínez,Pedro Andreo-Martínez,Joaquín Quesada-Medina,Antonia Pérez de los Ríos,A. Chica,Rubén Beneito-Ruiz,Juan Carratalá-Abril +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-catalytic supercritical methanolysis using response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the biodiesel production from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) seed oil.
