A process to catalytically transform natural gas liquid (NGL) into higher molecular weight hydrocarbons includes providing an NGL stream, catalytically dehydrogenating at least a portion of the NGL stream components to their corresponding alkene derivatives, catalytically oligomerizing at least a portion of the alkenes to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons and recovering the higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. The NGL stream can be extracted from a gas stream such as a gas stream coming from shale formations. The higher molecular weight hydrocarbons can be hydrocarbons that are liquid at ambient temperature and ambient pressure.

The inventive concepts disclosed relate to the production of green and blue hydrogen from hydrocarbons using visible light (from a laser, lamp or sun) and defect-engineered boron-rich photocatalysts. We demonstrate that the environment of the B atoms in the lattice can be tuned to favor the dehydrogenation of desired hydrocarbons on reaction sites under visible light. In addition to the hydrogen produced in gas form, carbon atoms are captured by the catalyst and form structures of potential higher value for future applications. Further study of the dark carbonaceous product revealed a graphitic aspect of the material. These findings highlight a new functionality of 2D materials for visible light-assisted capture and conversion of hydrocarbons, with great potential for green hydrogen production—i.e, hydrogen produced from renewable energy and without the release of CO or CO.sub.2.

The present invention relates to a monolith catalyst for carbon-dioxide/methane reforming and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a novel monolith catalyst for a reforming reaction having improved thermal durability, configured such that a sintering inhibiting layer is formed by coating the surface of a monolith support with at least one element selected from the group consisting of Group 2, 3, 6, 13, 15 and 16 elements among elements in Period 3 or higher and an active catalyst layer is formed on the sintering inhibiting layer, thereby preventing carbon deposition and catalyst deactivation due to deterioration even upon reaction at high temperatures.

A preparation method and application of a zero-valent aluminum/iron-bearing clay composite for catalyzing a persulfate to oxidize organics are provided, which belongs to the field of water environmental treatment. A novel catalyst is prepared by an iron-bearing clay and a zero-valent aluminum through a simple ball milling method, for achieving the effect of activating a persulfate to efficiently oxidize and degrade refractory organics in water. The preparation method and operation process thereof are simple. Compared with a chemical synthesis method, the method of the present disclosure brings about less secondary pollution, and has a shorter synthesis time, higher yield and lower cost. The modified material is the natural iron-bearing clay, which is widely available, non-toxic and stable as a heterogeneous catalyst.

An active material useful in an oxidative dehydrogenation reactor system has an active phase, a support phase, and an intermediate composite phase. The active phase includes a transition metal oxide such as manganese oxide, which is reversibly oxidizable and/or reducible between oxidized and reduced states. The support phase includes an oxide of a IUPAC Group 2-14 element. The composite phase is a mixed metal oxide of the transition metal and the Group 2-14 element. The active phase can also include a promoter such as Na-W04 and/or a selectivity modifier such as A1 or ceria. Also, a reactor including the active material in a reactor, a method of making the active material, and a method of using the active material in a regenerative reaction process.
