Abstract:The conversion of ethanol into hydrocarbons, particularly into light olefins, was studied over MCM-22 zeolite in their acid form (HMCM-22) and its derived forms obtained by dealumination with oxalic acid (HMCM-22(OA)) and delamination (HITQ-2). The treatment with oxalic acid did not affect zeolite textural properties but reduced the total density and strength of the acid sites. As to the delamination process, HITQ-2 zeolite presented the highest Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) specific area, mesopore volume,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
