Estimation of the void structure and pore dimensions of molecular sieve zeolites using the hydroconversion of n-decane

TL;DR: In this article, the current mechanistic views of bifunctional hydrocracking of long-chain n-alkanes are discussed in detail with emphasis on the now widely accepted concept of ideal hydrocracks.

TL;DR: The structure of zeolite beta has been determined by high-resolution electron microscopy, electron diffraction and computer assisted modeling as discussed by the authors, showing that it is an intergrown hybrid of two distinct but closely related structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that titanium silicalite, a microporous crystalline Ti-silica, is able to activate secondary and tertiary carbon atoms in alkanes, so that they may be oxidized to alcohols and subsequently to ketones using aqueous H2O2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate quantitatively the contributions of each of two mechanisms for molecular shape selectivity for catalytic cracking of C6 to C9 hydrocarbons on ZSM-5.

TL;DR: The criteria and principles involved have general applicability not only in catalytic hydrocarbon transformations, but also in other catalyzed organic reactions, in some of the largest scale industrial processes, in chemical laboratory experience, and in the biochemical world of life processes.
