Sprinkled catalyst boosts fuel process Slots in without refinery chctnges

摘要

RESEARCHERS in the US have developed a sub-nanometre catalyst based on tungsten oxide which they say will improve refinery catalysis and petrol production. Led by Michael Wong, a professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at Rice University, the team created a catalyst consisting of sub-nanometre sized clusters of tungsten oxide overlaid on a zirconium oxide powder support.
