Conversion of butanol to propene in flow: A triple dehydration, isomerisation and metathesis cascade (2022)
Journal Article
Shi, Y., Weller, A. S., Blacker, A. J., & Dyer, P. W. (2022). Conversion of butanol to propene in flow: A triple dehydration, isomerisation and metathesis cascade. Catalysis Communications, 164, Article 106421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catcom.2022.106421

A combined three-step flow cascade conversion of n-butanol to propene is demonstrated. Zeolite H-ZSM-5 gives high conversion in the initial n-butanol dehydration step (98%). Subsequent isomerisation of terminal butenes to internal butenes over zeolit... Read More about Conversion of butanol to propene in flow: A triple dehydration, isomerisation and metathesis cascade.

Process-oriented approach towards catalyst design and optimisation (2022)
Journal Article
Abbasi, M. R., Galvanin, F., Blacker, A. J., Sorensen, E., Shi, Y., Dyer, P. W., & Gavriilidis, A. (2022). Process-oriented approach towards catalyst design and optimisation. Catalysis Communications, 163, Article 106392. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catcom.2021.106392

Translation of catalysts developed in academia to industrial end-users remains a challenge due to a lack of knowledge about the impact of catalyst attributes on the whole process and vice versa. A systematic methodology is proposed that assesses thes... Read More about Process-oriented approach towards catalyst design and optimisation.
