“…In our recent research on zeolite catalysts, we intentionally focused on composites containing unimodal nanoporous nano-sized (defined as 5-50 nm, and here called as ns) oxides with pore sizes ranging from about 5 nm to several tens of nanometers 19) . This research has established various advances in catalysis, including hydro desulfurization 20), 21) , hydrocracking 22), 23) , and catalytic cracking 24), 25) . We also studied the efficiency of nanoporous ns alumina matrix as a catalytic cracking catalyst, and found that ns Al2O3 as a binder have some favorable effects on the reaction.…”
