Effect of template concentration on the catalytic performance of nickel-loaded hierarchical Hβ zeolite prepared by secondary crystallization for benzene hydroalkylation

Key Points

• Catalytic performance improves significantly with optimized template concentration in nickel-loaded Hβ zeolite.
• The best reaction conditions lead to an increase in reaction rates by over 30% compared to lower concentrations.
• Assessment using hierarchical zeolite synthesis and catalytic activity measures determined effectiveness of template levels.
• Findings imply potential for improved catalytic processes, focusing on zeolite frameworks for various industrial applications.
