(This article belongs to the Special Issue Heterogeneous Catalysts for Petrochemical Synthesis and Oil Refining)
In modern industry, more than 90% of processes are catalytic. Heterogeneous catalysis is among the major solutions for cost-effective and sustainable industrial applications and processing. Depending on the refinery and process, the development of heterogeneous catalysts is focused on the increase in feedstock conversion and selectivity to products. The design and development of highly efficient and stable heterogeneous catalysts represent an emerging frontier for overcoming energy and environmental challenges. Many industrial petrochemical and oil refining processes are facing new challenges that can be solved by using heterogeneous catalysts.
Recent trends in heterogeneous catalysis are: the design of new functional composite and nanostructured materials, including traditional zeolites’ modification; the synthesis of nanoscale meso/micro materials; the investigation of dispersed nanosized systems; stabilizing and minimizing their aggregation; single-atom catalysis; new strategies for the development of predictable metal-support interaction, induced by a controlled synthesis of active phase and their dispersion. One of the modern routes is metal-organic and covalent frameworks’ design with tunable textural and functional properties.
This Special Issue covers the most recent progress and advances in the field of heterogeneous catalysts based on mesoporous composites with embedded halloysite nanotubes covered with ruthenium nanoparticles for exhaustive benzene hydrogenation [1], in situ generated and supported on zeolites’ transition metal sulfides for the hydrocracking of the pyrolysis fuel oil and n-alkanes isomerization [2,3]. This issue also includes investigations of novel rhodium systems supported on FeCrAl composite for the coupling of pre-reforming and partial oxidation to liquefied petroleum gas processing into syngas [4]. We have collected works devoted to the palladium catalysts based on porous aromatic frameworks and alumina for the hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds (alkynes, alkenes and dienes) and for the selective removal of acetylene from ethane-ethylene fractions [5,6].
We hope that this Special Issue will be beneficial for researchers working in heterogeneous catalysis and functional materials design, such as zeolite composites, mesoporous materials, transition metal sulfides, aluminosilicates, porous aromatic frameworks, and metal nanoparticles immobilization.
