Catalytic Performance of HZSM-5–Al2O3 nanocomposites in glycerol conversion

What is it about?

Effect of components ratio in HZSM-5–Al2O3 compositions on acid and catalytic characteristics in glycerol conversion was investigated. Acetaldehyde selectivity increasing with Brønsted acidity, and allyl alcohol selectivity follows the Lewis acidity.

Why is it important?

Studying tHZSM-5–Al2O3 compositions provides insight into how the component composition of zeolite-oxide composites influences their acid properties and product selectivity. Additionally, it identifies Lewis acid sites as key contributors to coke formation during catalysis.
