Aitani Published online: 20 January 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 1 Introduction (USY, BEA, MFI, etc.) were effective for (1) resid cata- lytic cracking, (2) low pressure deep desulfurization, (3) More than 100 scientists, engineers, catalyst experts and isoparaffin production through hydrocracking, and (4) researchers from Saudi Arabia, Japan, the U.S., Germany naphtha reforming to isoparaffins. Selective co-production and France participated in the two-day symposium on of propylene and aromatics from the heavier n-paraffins refining and petrochemical catalysis held on November also occurred on the nano-structured catalysts consisting of 27–28, 2011 at King Fahd University of Petroleum and oxides and MFI-type zeolite. The performances on the Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The annual hybrid catalyst with Al O were improved concertedly 2 3 symposium was jointly organized by KFUPM, the Japan from those on the zeolite sole catalyst. The nano-structured Petroleum Institute, and Japan Cooperation Center, Petro- species, assembled at the boundary between oxides and leum to bring researchers from industry and academia to zeolite, were TI - Meeting Report JF - Catalysis Surveys from Asia DO - 10.1007/s10563-011-9131-y DA - 2012-01-20 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/meeting-report-MkH9ueT00B SP - 48 EP - 52 VL - 16 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
