Abstract:
A compound catalyst (RA) consisted of Ni, ZnO and HZSM-5 with functions of reactive adsorption desulfurization (RADS) and olefin aromatization for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline upgrading was prepared. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction and low-temperature N2 adsorption were used to characterize the properties of the catalysts. Performance evaluation by FCC gasoline was carried out, and the result showed that the catalyst RA performed well in desulfurization and aromatization. For comparison, RADS catalyst (represented by DS) consisted of Ni and ZnO and aromatization catalyst (represented by Ar) consisted of HZSM-5 were prepared, respectively. They were combined in different ways to help investigating interaction between Ni and HZSM-5. Performance evaluated by FCC gasoline showed that catalyst RA performed best in desulfurization with a slight octane number loss. Interaction between Ni and HZSM-5 is a significant factor which influences the performance of the catalyst.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
