Abstract:

In this work, the liquid phase catalytic isomerization of α-pinene over alumina-pillared montmorillonitewas investigated, and the influence of reaction temperature, reaction time and amount of the catalyston the conversion of α-pinenewere discussed systematically, and the optimum reaction conditions forisomerization of α-pineneover alumina-pillared montmorillonitewere obtained. The basal spacing of thealumina-pillared montmorillonite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the liquid reactant was separated and identified by gas chromatography. The result showed that alumina-pillared montmorillonite with 1.83nm of basal spacing exhibited a high catalytic activity for the isomerization of α-pinene, and 97.4% conversion of α-pinene was achievedat 373K for 3hwhen the mass ratio of catalyst to α-pinene was 1/10.
