Abstract

Propene is a key building block for the petrochemical industry whose demand is increasing strongly in recent years, even faster than that of ethene. The availability of propene is limited, and therefore, efforts to optimize its production are being pursued. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the first FCC unit, we analyze some recent advances that have been achieved in the understanding and development of zeolites aiming to increase the production of light olefins as petrochemical building blocks by means of catalytic cracking. We discuss a selected group of emerging strategies in zeolite engineering that have great prospects for research and that we consider could impact the sector in the near future. These include advances in crystal engineering and hierarchization achieved through bottom-up and top-down approaches, composite materials, tuning of the location of active sites among the different crystallographic positions available, and, importantly, how to characterize these modifications and their impact on the catalysis. Finally, we survey what advances are actually being implanted into the current industrial practice and conclude with a reflection on the future of zeolite research to satisfy light olefin demand.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Selectivity in many acid-catalyzed reactions by Al-containing zeolites strongly depends on the Al distribution in the zeolite framework.

    “It has been found that selectivity in many acid-catalyzed reactions by Al-containing zeolites strongly depends on the Al distribution in the zeolite framework, which can be controlled by modifying the synthesis conditions.”
  • Al distribution in the zeolite framework can be controlled by modifying the synthesis conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
