Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the relationship between the external acidity and the catalytic properties of zeolite PdHZSM-5 (Si/Al = 21) in hydroconversion of n-hexane. We have established that decreasing the external H-site content by 5-9 μmol/g at 548 K leads to an increase in conversion by 18-19% and a decrease in the selectivity of the catalyst with respect to the isomerization products by 47-70%. We suggest an explanation for this substantial effect of the external H-sites on the activity and selectivity of the catalyst.
