Shape Selectivity vs. Activity<br />

• Controlling selectivity in hydrocracking in zeolites<br />

(Benazzi, et al., J. Catal.217, 376 (2003))<br />

• Compare cracking vs. isomerization<br />

• Activity increases with acidity, but…<br />

• No correlation with selectivity<br />

• Adsorption energy inversely proportional <strong>to</strong> pore<br />

size<br />

– Small pore, high energy cracking<br />

– Large pore, low energy isomerization<br />

• <strong>Modeling</strong> helps guide you <strong>to</strong> the best material<br />

based on rules, trends, correlations deduced from<br />
