Ancient board game inspires theoretical model that helps predict ideal reaction conditions for zeolite catalysts The empty zeolite pores (white) become clogged by coke (black). Once an area (grey) is surrounded by clogged pores, it becomes inaccessible and inactive, despite not being blocked Taking inspiration from the ancient board game Go, researchers from China have built a model to show how porous zeolite catalysts become clogged by carbon deposit (…)
