1. DEVELOPMENT OF PILOT SIZE PROCESS FOR ZEOLITE Y AND ZSM-5 PRODUCTION FROM KANKARA KAOLIN
ABSTRACT
The successes recorded at the laboratory for the synthesis of zeolite Y and ZSM-5 using Kankara kaolin sourced from Katsina state, Nigeria as starting material necessitated the need for upscale of the production process. This thesis focused on the development of three pilot siz...
2. DEVELOPMENT OF ZINC-BASED/ZSM-5 CATALYST FOR PROPANE AROMATIZATION
ABSTRACT
Aromatization is an important process for catalytic conversion of light alkanes to aromatics which are essential feedstocks to petrochemical industries. A number of catalysts have been used for this transformation among which Zn/ZSM-5 emerged so far best owing to its good dehyd...
3. SORPTION ENHANCED CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS OF RICE HUSK USING HIERARCHICAL ZSM-5 CATALYST
Abstract
The necessity to source clean energy and contain CO2 emissions has brought about a global interest in the use of biomass as an environmental friendly renewable energy route. One of the drawbacks in the conversion of biomass to energy via pyrolysis/gasification is the liberation...
