TL;DR: In this article, a general seed-induced strategy for the synthesis of meso/macroporous ZSM-5 and ZSM11 under additive-free, low template/SiO2 ratio (from 0.011 to 0.0014) and seed-assisted hydrothermal conditions was reported.

TL;DR: In this article, nano ZSM-12 zeolite, with a huge external surface area and lower ratio of Bronsted to Lewis acids, exhibited high activity and selectivity for the direct transformation of methanol into multi-methylbenzenes.
Abstract: Nano ZSM-12 zeolite, with a huge external surface area and lower ratio of Bronsted to Lewis acids, exhibited high activity and selectivity for the direct transformation of methanol into multi-methylbenzenes with molecule sizes that were larger than the 1-D pore of ZSM-12, via the production of xylene inside the pore and complete external surface methylation.

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary between uniform and non-uniform fluidization can be detected by stability analysis based on Prigogine's minimum of entropy production principle, and this criterion for N parallel paths can be simplified into calculating the second derivative of pressure drop through one path with respect of total solids pressure loading.

TL;DR: In this article, Feox/ZSM-5 was used to suppress the isomerization of xylene and hydrogen transfer from propylene to propane on the external surface.
Abstract: Herein, FeOx-supported ZSM-5 exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the aromatization of methanol, similar to ZnOx-supported ZSM-5 but with much longer life time. Coating of FeOx/ZSM-5 catalyst with a SiO2 shell is effective to suppress the isomerization of xylene and hydrogen transfer from propylene to propane on the external surface. As a result, FeOx/ZSM-5@SiO2 exhibited gross yield of C2–C3 olefins and para-xylene (carbon base) far higher than that of HZSM-5, ZnOx/ZSM-5, and ZnOx/ZSM-5@SiO2.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of gas velocity and bed diameter on temperature and hot spot profile in gas-solid fluidized beds is studied based on a 2D pseudo homogeneous phase model.
Abstract: The influence of gas velocity and bed diameter on temperature and hot spot profile in gas–solid fluidized beds is studied based on a 2D pseudo homogeneous phase model. A dimensionless number, the fluidized Prater number βf, is introduced into fluidized bed reactors to estimate the temperature gradient and hot spot profile based on various operating parameters and a quantitative relationship is established. Contrary to fixed beds, in fluidized beds, with low gas velocity and small bed diameter, there tend to be large temperature gradients and hot spots. With the increase of gas velocity in the turbulent regime and decrease in the bed diameter, βf, the hot spot gradually disappears and the temperature profile tends to be more uniform. The hot spot in highly exothermic reactions in fluidized beds can be effectively minimized by increasing gas velocity in the turbulent regime and enlarging the bed diameter. An operating map for the industrial hydrogenation of nitrobenzene reaction is provided to estimate the possible axial temperature gradient from operating parameters. This method can be applied to other similar reactions for selecting operating parameters and methods to eliminate hot spots and produce a uniform temperature gradient.
