Emphasis on the Properties of Metal‐Containing Zeolites Operating Outside the Comfort Zone of Current Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions

International audience; The development of catalysts that can operate under exceptionally harsh and unconventional conditions is of critical importance for the transition of the energy and chemicals industries to low-emission and renewable chemical feedstocks. In this review we will highlight materials and more specifically metal-containing zeolite catalysts that have been tested under harsh reaction conditions such as high temperature light alkane conversion and biomass valorization. Particular attention will be given to studies that explore the stability and recyclability of metal-containing zeolite catalysts operating in continuous modes. Metal-containing zeolites are considered as an important class of catalysts operating outside the comfort zone of current heterogeneous catalytic reactions in both gas and liquid phase reactions. The relationship between the properties of the metalcontaining zeolite and catalytic performance will be explored.
