Studies of propene formation by gasoline cracking in steamed ZSM-5 by QENS
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units (shown below) are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives. These are used in FCC units to... -
INS analysis of industrially relevant small pore zeolites
NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One... -
INS Studies of Olefin Reactivity in HZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts
This proposal looks at the reactivity of propene in a commercial ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. It builds on a previous INS study (on TOSCA) which showed that propene in this catalyst... -
Quantification of Brønsted acid site densities in zeolites: an INS investigation
As part of an on-going industrial/academic collaboration in to the application of neutron spectroscopy to probe commercially relevant zeolites, this proposal seeks to use the... -

Separation of factors contributing to the overall diffusion behaviour of olef...
This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated... -
Proof of concept study on the effect of pre-adsorbed hydrocarbon on the trans...
Diffusion of ammonia within zeolites is of great interest due to applications in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction in fuel exhausts, reducing harmful NOx... -
Towards operando QENS
Catalysts are materials that alter the rate of chemical reactions and are broadly used to lower costs, improve yields and to reduce unwanted pollutants. To properly understand... -
Understanding the effect of catalyst ageing on small molecule diffusion in NO...
We aim to study using QENS the effect of catalyst ageing small molecule (water) mobility in CHA zeolite catalysts used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process for... -
