TL;DR: In this paper, a heterogeneous catalyst system was synthesized by immobilizing phosphotungstic acid on ionic liquid-modified mesoporous silica SBA-15 and applied in oxidative desulfurization.
Abstract: A heterogeneous catalyst system was synthesized by immobilizing phosphotungstic acid on ionic liquid-modified mesoporous silica SBA-15 and applied in oxidative desulfurization. Structure and properties of catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption–desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the contact angle. The results demonstrated that the synthesized catalyst possessed ordered mesopore structure and high special surface area. Due to the introduction of imidazole-based ionic liquid, the catalyst exhibited good wettability for model oil, which had significant contribution to desulfurization activity. Both DBT and 4,6-DMDBT could be removed completely at mild conditions (60 °C, 40 min). The removal of BT also can reach 81.3% within 60 min. Furthermore, the catalyst was recovered and reused in four reaction runs with a slight decrease in activity.

TL;DR: This catalyst was found to bypass the presulfurization process, showing promise as an alternative to sulfided catalysts for green diesel production.
Abstract: Nickel oxide (NiO) and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) supported on a ZIF-8 (NiO-PTA/ZIF-8) catalyst was first synthesized and it showed high activity and good selectivity for the hydrocracking of Jatropha oil. The catalyst was characterized by SEM, SEM-EDS, TEM, N2 adsorption, FT-IR, XRD and XPS. Compared with the NiO-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst, the selectivity of C15-C18 hydrocarbon increased over 36%, and catalytic efficiency increased 10 times over the NiO-PTA/ZIF-8 catalyst. The prepared NiO-PTA/ZIF-8 catalyst was stable for a reaction time of 104 h and the kinetic behavior was also analyzed. This catalyst was found to bypass the presulfurization process, showing promise as an alternative to sulfided catalysts for green diesel production.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoporous chromium-based terephthalate metal-organic framework (MIL-101) encapsulated Keggin phosphotungstic acid (HPW) was demonstrated to be an active heterogeneous catalyst for selective catalysis of the ring opening reaction of styrene oxide with methanol, achieving 99% yield of 2methoxy-2phenylethanol in 20 minutes at 40 °C.
