Abstract

Abstract : Mesopore incorporation into ZSM-5 enhances the dispersion of Pd nanoparticles significantly accelerating m -cresol conversion relative to a conventional microporous ZSM-5, and dramatically increasing selectivity towards the desired methylcyclohexane deoxygenated product. Abstract : Mesopore incorporation into ZSM-5 enhances the dispersion of Pd nanoparticles throughout the hierarchical framework, significantly accelerating m -cresol conversion relative to a conventional microporous ZSM-5, and dramatically increasing selectivity towards the desired methylcyclohexane deoxygenated product. Increasing the acid site density further promotes m -cresol conversion and methylcyclohexane selectivity through efficient dehydration of the intermediate methylcyclohexanol.
