Convert low-carbon molecules into high-value products using zeolite catalysis Converting abundant low-carbon molecules like CO, CO2, methane, and methanol into valuable chemicals requires robust catalysts with precise control over activity and selectivity. Zeolite Catalysis for Low-Carbon Molecule Conversion: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications provides researchers and engineers with detailed guidance on designing metal-zeolite bifunctional catalysts that outperform single-function alternatives in activity, selectivity, and stability. This reference covers synthesis and characterization of zeolite-encapsulated catalysts and hierarchical zeolites, then examines catalytic conversion of CO, CO2, methane, and methanol over various zeolite types. Additional chapters address hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions. Novel preparation methods enable tailoring zeolite pores and properties for specific applications, connecting fundamental principles with industrial implementation. The book also covers: * Detailed methods for synthesizing zeolite-encapsulated catalysts and hierarchical zeolites with tunable acidities and uniform micropore structures * Characterization techniques for analyzing zeolite properties including pore structure, thermal stability, and catalytic performance under operating conditions * Catalytic conversion pathways for C1 chemicals and light alkenes derived from fossil fuels and biomass feedstocks * Metal-zeolite bifunctional catalyst design using impregnation, ion exchange, and in-situ synthesis to optimize activity and selectivity I* ndustrial applications in heterogeneous catalytic processes including hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and selective oxidation reactions Catalytic chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and industrial researchers seeking to advance zeolite-based catalysis will benefit from this reference. By connecting catalyst design principles with practical conversion processes, Zeolite Catalysis for Low-Carbon Molecule Conversion supports both fundamental research and commercial development of sustainable chemical production technologies.
