The properties and the applications of the main monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, and the three xylene isomers) and the industrial processes for their manufacture from fossil raw materials are summarized. Potential ways for their production from renewable sources with thermo-catalytic processes are...

The main data concerning acidity and basicity characterization of protonic and cationic zeolites are described and discussed. In particular, experimental data concerning IR studies of the adsorption of pyridine, CO and CO2on Na-zeolites (Na-X, Na-A, Na-MOR) and on protonic zeolites (with emphasis on H-Y and USY) are described and discussed. The...
