Oligomerization is one of the efficient routes for making use of C4 olefins to produce high value-added chemicals. However, high reagent conversion is usually accompanied by low dimer product selectivity, and vice versa. Ionic liquids (ILs) with intense interaction between Lewis and Bronsted acidic sites were demonstrated to be excellent catalysts ...

Lanthanum-containing (LaX) and cerium-containing X zeolites (CeX) were prepared by a double-exchange, double-calcination method. By changing the calcination atmospheres between nitrogen and air, the Ce-IV contents in CeX zeolites were adjusted and their impacts on physicochemical properties and catalytic performance in isobutane alkylation were est...

An effective process for synthesis of alkyl polyglycosides (APG) was developed using SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids (SFILs) as catalysts. Four SFILs, [PSmim][HSO4], [PSmim][pTSA], [PSPy][HSO4] and [PSPy][pTSA], were designed and synthesized for APG synthesis. The results indicated that [PSmim][HSO4] shows the best catalytic performance among the...

Multifunctional structural materials are very promising in the field of engineering. Particularly, their strain sensing ability draws much attention for structural health monitoring applications. Generally, strain sensing materials are produced by adding a certain amount of conductive fillers, around the so-called "percolation threshold", to the ce...
The alkylation process of isobutane with butene is important in the petroleum industry. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as attractive alternative catalysts for isobutane alkylation besides strong liquid acids (H2SO4 or HF) and solid superacids. In this study, ILs based on amides-aluminum chloride (AlCl3) were synthesized and characterized, which...
The achievement of new economically viable chemical processes often involves the translation of observed lab-scale phenomena into performance in an industrial reactor. In this work, the in silico design and optimization of an industrial ethanol dehydration reactor were performed, employing a multiscale model ranging from nano-, over micro-, to macr...
Different metal compositions based on metal-ion-modified X-type zeolite in the isobutane/2-butene alkylation reaction were investigated. Bimetallic (rare earth (RE) and Cu) supported zeolites catalysts owned better lifetime and selectivity than those modified by the single metal (La, Ce, or Cu). CuLaX performed best with a 15 h catalytic lifetime o...
