Phenol is its own selectivity promoter in low-temperature liquid-phase hydrogenation (2024)
Journal Article
Bell, J., Poncet, A., Li, L., Zachariou, A., Whiston, K., & Beaumont, S. K. (2024). Phenol is its own selectivity promoter in low-temperature liquid-phase hydrogenation. Catalysis Today, 441, Article 114875. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2024.114875

Phenol hydrogenation is widely studied for selective production of the chemical intermediate cyclohexanone. A plethora of studies in the literature have reported catalysts aiming to achieve high selectivity compared to Pd/C. However, we demonstrate t...

Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Propene and 1-Octene Oligomerisation in H-ZSM-5: Increasing alkene yields via more selective zeolite catalysis (2023)
Journal Article
Hawkins, A. P., Zachariou, A., Collier, P., Howe, R. F., Lennon, D., & Parker, S. F. (2024). Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Propene and 1-Octene Oligomerisation in H-ZSM-5: Increasing alkene yields via more selective zeolite catalysis. Johnson Matthey Technology Review, 68(3), 307-321. https://doi.org/10.1595/205651324x16964134291592

Neutron scattering methods such as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) have been used to study the reactivity of propene and 1-octene over the acid zeolite catalyst H-ZSM-5. The high activity of the catalyst...

Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction (2023)
Journal Article
Zachariou, A., Hawkins, A. P., Collier, P., Howe, R. F., Parker, S. F., & Lennon, D. (2023). Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction. Catalysis Science & Technology, 13(7), 1976-1990. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2cy02154d

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction uses a zeolite catalyst (typically H-ZSM-5 or SAPO-34) to produce light olefins (mainly C2–C4) for chemical feedstocks and methylated benzenes for use as fuels. The reaction is a major industrial process world-wi... Read More about Neutron scattering studies of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction.
