Abstract
Achieving multiple high-value-added chemical production through novel reaction processes and shape-selective catalytic strategy is the key to realizing efficient low-carbon catalytic processes. In this work, a methanol-toluene coreaction system was developed, and combined control strategies of reaction pathway guidance and shape-selective catalysis were applied for the successful production of light olefins and para-xylene on single HZSM-5 catalyst bed. Cofeeding toluene additionally provides reactive and flowing aromatic hydrocarbon pool species that change the dominant reaction pathway in the complex network of the methanol reaction on HZSM-5 and promote the formation of ethylene. For the first time, the key reaction intermediates methylmethylenecyclodiene are directly captured and identified by experimental and theoretical techniques. This helps to propose the catalytic cycle for the dominant generation of ethylene and, more importantly, enriches the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) chemistry and hydrocarbon pool mechanism. Furthermore, 0.4HZSM-5@S-1-CLD, an optimized HZSM-5 catalyst modified by the silicalite-1 epitaxial growth followed by silanization approach, realizes highly selective production of light olefins (especially ethylene) and para-xylene, while excellent reactant activity is maintained. This highly efficient coreaction route gives an important leading significance in synthesizing the raw materials for the polyolefin and polyester industries. The establishment of the combined control strategies provides a model for the joint production of multiple target chemicals in complex catalytic processes.

Abstract
Introducing sustainability into advanced catalytic material design is essential to address growing environmental concerns. Among them, synthesizing inorganic zeolite materials from non-traditional sources (like natural clay) offers several advantages, contributing to sustainability and environmental stewardship. With this objective, we used kaolin to synthesize zeolites with different topologies: SSZ-13 (8-MR with CHA topology), ZSM-5 (10-MR with MFI topology), and Beta (12-MR with BEA topology) (MR: member ring), where a simple and flexible synthetic protocol was adopted without any significant changes. All these zeolites were subjected to catalytic performance evaluation concerning the industrially relevant methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) process. Herein, the kaolin-derived zeolites, especially ZSM-5, led to superior performance and demonstrated enhanced catalyst deactivation-resistant behavior compared to their zeolite counterparts prepared from traditional synthetic routes. Various characterization tools (including under operando conditions) were employed to understand their reactions and deactivation mechanisms. Overall, making zeolites from non-traditional sources presents a pathway for sustainable and environmentally friendly material production, offering benefits such as reduced resource dependence, lower energy consumption, and tailored physicochemical properties beneficial to catalysis. In a broader context, such a research approach contributes to the transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy.

Abstract
The treatment of phenolic-containing wastewater has received increased attention in recent years. In this study, the N-doped porous carbons were prepared from lignite with tripolycyanamide as the N source, and their phenol adsorption behaviors were investigated. Results clearly showed that the addition of tripolycyanamide largely improved the surface area, micropore volume, N content and thus the phenol adsorption capacity of lignite-based carbons. The N-doped sample prepared at 700 °C showed a surface area of 1630 m2/g and a phenol adsorption capacity as high as 182.4 mg/g at 20 °C, which were 2.0 and 1.6 times that of the lignite-based carbon without N-doping. Pseudo-second order and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models could better explain the phenol adsorption behaviors over lignite-based N-doped porous carbon. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that phenol adsorption energies over graphitic-N (−72 kJ/mol) and pyrrolic-N (−74 kJ/mol) groups were slightly lower than that over the N-free graphite layer (−71 kJ/mol), supporting that these N-containing groups contribute to enhance the phenol adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism of phenol over porous carbon might be interpreted by the π–π dispersion interactions between aromatic-ring and carbon planes, which could be enhanced by N-doping through increasing π electron densities in the carbon plane.

Synthesis of HZSM-5 Rich in Paired Al and Its Catalytic Performance for Propane Aromatization. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
A series of HZSM-5 catalysts with similar Si/AlF mole ratio, textual properties and morphology, but different contents of AlF pairs, were synthesized by controlling the Na/Al molar ratios in the precursor gel and used for propane aromatization. It is shown that the catalyst with a Na/Al molar ratio of 0.8 in the synthetic gel possesses the highest paired AlF concentration (64.4%) and shows higher propane conversion (38.2%) and aromatics selectivity (19.7 wt.%). Propane pulse experiments, micro reactor activity estimation, Operando diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (DR UV-vis) spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of coke species deposited on the catalysts provide evidence that AlF pairs in the ZSM-5 framework promote oligomerization and cyclization reactions of olefins, and then produce more aromatics. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the cyclization of olefins and hydride transfer reaction occurring on AlF pairs in HZSM-5 zeolite show a lower free energy barrier and a higher rate constant than those on single AlF, indicating that the structure of AlF pairs in the HZSM-5 zeolite has a stronger electrostatic stabilization effect on the transition states than that of single AlF.
