Abstract
Non-oxidative methane dehydro-aromatization reaction can co-produce hydrogen and benzene effectively on a molybdenum-zeolite based thermochemical catalyst, which is a very promising approach for natural-gas upgrading. However, the low methane conversion and aromatics selectivity and weak durability restrain the realistic application for industry. Here, a mechanism for enhancing catalysis activity on methane activation and carbon-carbon bond coupling has been found to promote conversion and selectivity simultaneously by adding platinum-bismuth alloy cluster to form a trimetallic catalyst on zeolite (Pt-Bi/Mo/ZSM-5). This bimetallic alloy cluster has synergistic interaction with molybdenum: the formed CH3* from Mo2C on the external surface of zeolite can efficiently move on for C-C coupling on the surface of Pt-Bi particle to produce C2 compounds, which are the key intermediates of oligomerization. This pathway is parallel with the catalysis on Mo inside the cage. This catalyst demonstrated 18.7% methane conversion and 69.4% benzene selectivity at 710 °C. With 95% methane/5% nitrogen feedstock, it exhibited robust stability with slow deactivation rate of 9.3% after 2 h and instant recovery of 98.6% activity after regeneration in hydrogen. The enhanced catalytic activity is strongly associated with synergistic interaction with Mo and ligand effects of alloys by extensive mechanism studies and DFT calculation.

Abstract
Catalytic pyrolysis of triglycerides to aromatics over zeolites is an advanced technology for a high value-added utilization of renewable biomass resources. Therefore, in this research, the catalytic performance of M/HZSM-5 catalysts (M = Zn, Ga, In, Ni, and Mo) during the pyrolysis process of glycerol trioleate and the effect of the compositional difference of several woody oils and waste oils on aromatic formation were investigated. Results revealed that Zn/HZSM-5 with appropriate acidity and metal sites reached the maximum aromatics yield (56.13%) and significantly enhanced the catalytic stability. In addition, these renewable nonedible oils were effectively converted to aromatics over the Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst, the aromatic yield of jatropha oil reached up to 50.33%, and the unsaturation and double bond number of feedstocks were crucial for the production of aromatics. The utilization of biomass resources to produce high value-added aromatics can alleviate the problems caused by the shortage of fossil resources and achieve sustainable green development.

Abstract
AbstractLight alkane aromatization for aromatic compound production, used in petrochemical industries is an attractive area of research. The effect of second metal co-impregnation was investigated in stabilizing zinc on ZSM-5 in aromatization of propane. HZSM-5 was modified with zinc and iron metal by co wet-impregnation and characterized using XRF, XRD, BET, N2-adsorption, FTIR, FTIR-Pyridine, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR and XPS. The effect of different loadings of Iron on Zn/ZSM-5 was investigated on acidity, aromatic yield, product distribution and aromatization performance. Performance test was conducted in a fixed bed reactor at 540 °C, one atmosphere. GHSV of 1200 mL/g-h. Co-impregnation of Zn with Fe improved the catalytic activity and aromatic yield for 10 h time on stream as compared to parent HZSM-5 and Zn/ZSM-5 of very low aromatic yield and propane conversion. Impregnation of Zn as the dehydrogenating metal on HZSM-5 steadily increased aromatic yield from 5% on HZSM-5 to 25% and was steadily dropped to 20% after 10 h TOS. The co-impregnation of iron of 1–3 wt% loading as the second metal for zinc stability with 2 wt% Zn on ZSM-5 improved propane conversion and aromatic yield to 55% for the 10 h TOS. This further enhanced aromatic product distribution and minimized light gases.
