The X type zeolites containing alkali ions in excess of ion exchange capacity exhibited high catalytic activity for 1-butene isomerization; the reaction proceeded at 273 K. Temperature programed desorption (TPD) of adsorbed CO2 confirmed that strongly basic sites were generated by addition of alkali ions. Alkali metal oxides formed in the zeolite cavities are considered to possess strongly basic sites and to act as the catalytic sites.
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.
