A study was made on the duration of the single-pass lifespan of the gallium-containing catalyst in the course of conversion of a model mixture of C1-C6 hydrocarbons into aromatic compounds. Using temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, it has been found that some acid sites of the catalyst were irreversibly deactivated as a result of the reaction and oxidative regeneration. It has been shown that the gallium-containing catalyst characterized by high activity and stability in the course of aromatization of lower alkanes was able to withstand a certain number of reaction-regeneration cycles without reducing its activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
