THE chromium–aluminium oxide catalyst system is one most commonly used in the aromatization of paraffinic hydrocarbons. In practice, mixtures containing up to 20 per cent chromium oxide are used, this ...

The activity-composition curve of co-precipitated chromium oxide-alumina catalysts for the production of toluene from heptane shows two regions of maximum activity. One, at about 70% Cr2O3 is close to ...

HOUSTON – (March 5, 2024) – Catalysts unlock pathways for chemical reactions to unfold at faster and more efficient rates, and the development of new catalytic technologies is a critical part of the ...

Catalysts are workhorses that help reactions occur. Put to work, they transform starting materials, such as fossil fuels, biomass or even waste, into products and fuels with minimal energy.

With the aim to precisely understand its function, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department and Interface Science Department of the Fritz Haber Institute, together with colleagues from the ...
