Abstract:

With increasingly stringent environmental and economic regulations, the main challenge faced by all industrial sectors is to find processes that are more environmentally friendly and less resource intensive (Fechete et al., 2008). In particular, the petrochemical industry has focused on the search for naphthenic ring-opening reactions on noble metal catalysts to improve the cetane number of diesel fuels and reduce harmful emissions (Kubicka Et al., 2004, McVicker et al., 2002, Jeddi et al., 2012). A practical solution is to find a "clean" and efficient catalyst to replace noble metal catalysts. Thus, the use of metal oxide catalysts can offer an alternative because of the environmental and economic advantages they provide, their good catalytic performance and their competitiveness with noble metals. In this context, the TUD-1 (Technische Universiteit Delft) mesoporous materials (Jansen et al., 2001) appear to be good candidates for hydrocarbon conversion in view of their large internal surface, high thermal stability and Which create new opportunities for heterogeneous catalysis (Beck et al., 1992). Therefore, in this study a research was conducted on Fe-TUD-1, to synthesize, characterize and test it in order to evaluate its catalytic capacity to convert the selected MCP as a model molecule.
