Acetylene semi-hydrogenation reaction is a critical transformation process for removing
trace levels of acetylene from industrial ethylene streams. Noble metal catalysts are …

Solvents not only disperse reactants to enhance mass transport in catalytic reactions but
also alter the reaction kinetically. Here, we show that the rate of benzaldehyde …

A defect-rich activated carbon featured superior catalytic performance and stability for
acetylene hydrochlorination as metal-free catalysts. Raman and density functional theory …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have a one-dimensional (1D) hollow tubular structure formed by
graphene curling with remarkable electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties …

Activated carbon supported iron-based catalysts (Fe x O y/AC) show good deNO x efficiency
at low temperature. The doping of chromium (Cr) greatly improves the catalyst activity …

Ambient-condition acetylene hydrogenation to ethylene (AC-AHE) is a promising process for
ethylene production with minimal additional energy input, yet remains a great challenge due …

Activated carbon-supported iron-based catalysts (FexOy/AC) show excellent deNOx
efficiency. However, the specific adsorption mechanism of NH3, NO, and O2 molecules on …

In this review the most significant results reported in the literature concerning the use of
carbon nanotubes in heterogeneous catalytic reactions are reported. Carbon nanotubes are …

Ethylene feedstocks must be ultrapure for plastics production, but metal-based catalysts
used for acetylene removal are limited by cost, scarcity and durability. Now, electrochemical …
