The synthesis and catalytic performances of ZSM-48 were summarized. ZSM-48 was mainly applied in cracking reactions, shape selective reaction, methanol to hydrocarbons and showed excellent catalytic performance in hydroisomerization reaction.

Direct gaseous-phase epoxidation of propylene over nanogold catalysts in co-presence of H₂ and O₂ has been extensively studied. Many researchers have made important progress in this field, and a survey of the literature published to date is presented in this article. The salient features are the nature of the nanogold particles and the Ti-based support materials.
