  • Hydrocarbon Dynamics in Microporous Catalysts
    Hydrocarbon Dynamics in Microporous Catalysts Alexander James O’Malley Department of Chemistry, University College London (UCL) Supervisor: Professor C. R. A. Catlow Second Supervisor: Dr D. W. Lewis Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Engineering 2015 1 I, Alexander James O’Malley, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 I wish to dedicate this thesis to Sylvia Patricia O’Malley, Matthew ‘Romeo’ Rodrigues and Nelson Rodrigues, who are always in my thoughts. Also, to the parents and politicians who believe selective schools are necessary for academic children to flourish, you are incorrect. 3 Abstract The dynamics of hydrocarbons inside microporous zeolite catalysts are studied using neutron scattering methods and complementary molecular simulations, to investigate quantitatively a crucial component of industrial zeolite catalysis. The diffusion of longer n-alkanes in the siliceous analogue of ZSM-5, silicalite is modelled using state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The measured diffusivities show far improved agreement with quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) experiments. Isobutane diffusion in silicalite is also modelled, giving good agreement with diffusion coefficients and jump diffusion parameters obtained by neutron spin-echo experiments. The simulations give interesting insights into preferred siting locations, contradicting previous studies of isobutane dynamics in the MFI structure due to the use of a more accurate framework model. Tandem QENS and MD studies of octane isomer diffusion in zeolite HY show a counterintuitive increase in diffusion with branching, due to alkane clustering in the faujasite supercage.

Thomas was born the son of a coalminer in the Gwendraeth Valley in South Wales. Keywords: Obituary. He graduated with BSc and PhD degrees in chemistry from the University College of Swansea. From 1958, he held academic positions in the University of Wales, initi- ally as Lecturer at Bangor and then (from 1969) as Professor at Aberystwyth. In 1978, he was appointed as Professor and Head of Figure 1 the Department of Physical Chemistry at John Meurig Thomas lecturing. Photograph by the University of Cambridge, before taking Nathan Pitt. up the prestigious role of Director of the Royal Institution (RI) in 1986. Subse- quently, he was Master of Peterhouse, while continuing his research programme at the RI, and he later took up honorary appointments in the Department of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge and the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University. Thomas made major contributions to many key areas of chemical and materials sciences: his early work focused on the developing field of the physical chemistry of solids and included key contributions to mineralogy; but his most significant scientific legacy will be in catalytic science, where he pioneered new techniques and systems, focusing on the development of fundamental knowledge which has allowed the optimization and development of new catalytic technologies.

Meetings are moving online and research projects may be delayed; however, we will continue as much as possible to develop the Hub’s plans and activities. One of these is the new call for proposals and we hope that you are gearing up for the submission of a new tranche of exciting projects.” ~ Professor Christopher Hardacre, Director Events Highlights of 2019 Royal Society Discussion: Science to enable the UK Catalysis Hub – FELIX: Free Electron circular economy lasers for the Catalysis Community 24 - 25 June 2019 18 July 2019 Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Matthew Davidson, Professor Richard Catlow FRS, Professor Adrian Mulholland and Professor Graham Hutchings CBE FRS. For society to be sustainable, realising circular flows of molecules and materials will be fundamental to delivering the circular economy. This meeting brought together scientists and engineers to highlight efforts to meet the formidable challenge of ‘keeping the molecules in play’ by addressing important global challenges such as using waste carbon dioxide, harnessing biotechnology and eliminating plastics pollution.
