Zirconium chelate zeolite stabilization: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent metal loading in zeolites leads to poor catalytic performance and high waste. Precise control over the iron(III) exchange process ensures uniform active site distribution for high-value chemical synthesis.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Zirconium chelate zeolite stabilization?

Hydrothermal catalyst degradation

(19)evidences

High-temperature exhaust environments cause structural collapse and loss of active sites in zeolite frameworks. Preventing this degradation ensures consistent emission control over the vehicle lifetime.

Hydrothermal framework instability

(17)evidences

Zeolite catalysts used in NOx reduction suffer from structural collapse and active site loss under high-temperature steam conditions. Preventing this degradation ensures long-term catalytic efficiency in exhaust environments.

Sulfur induced catalyst poisoning

(15)evidences

Loss of active surface area and chemical poisoning in iron oxide and honeycomb structures. Preventing degradation maintains reaction efficiency and catalyst longevity.
