Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is one of the major conversion technologies in the oil refinery
industry. FCC currently produces the majority of the world's gasoline, as well as an important …

Hydrocarbon conversion catalysts suffer from deactivation by deposition or formation of carbon
deposits. Carbon deposit formation is thermodynamically favored above 350 C, even in …

Fossil fuels—coal, oil and gas—supply most of the world’s energy and also form the basis of
many products essential for everyday life. Their use is the largest contributor to the carbon …

Zeolite-based catalyst materials are widely used in chemical industry. In this chapter, the
applications of zeolites and zeotypes in the catalytic conversion of oil and gas are reviewed. …

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the major conversion process used in oil refineries to
produce valuable hydrocarbons from crude oil fractions. Because the demand for oil-based …

Catalytic cracking is a promising approach to chemically recycle polyolefins by converting
them into smaller hydrocarbons like naphtha, and important precursors of various platform …

We used single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to study self-diffusion of a feedstock-like
probe molecule with nanometer accuracy in the macropores of a micrometer-sized, real-life …

Nickel metal nanoparticles are intensively researched for the catalytic conversion of carbon
dioxide. They are commercially explored in the so-called power-to-methane application in …

Establishing structure–activity relationships in complex, hierarchically structured
nanomaterials, such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, requires characterization with …

PDFgetN3, a new software tool for the extraction of pair distribution functions (PDFs) from
neutron powder diffraction intensity data, is described. Its use is demonstrated with constant-…
