The effect is studied of duration of mechanochemical impact, as well as modification sequence and grinding on the acidic and catalytic properties of synthesized catalysts based on natural zeolite in the conversion of n-octane.It is shown that the highest catalytic activity in the conversion of n-octane has a modified nickel-and zinc-based catalyst zeolite and structured bentonite clay, subjected to mechanochemical treatment for 12 hours after the promotion.

The porous structure of Semeytau natural zeolite field, catalysts on its basis, and their catalytic activity in the course of aromatization of n-octane has been investigated. Higher activity of Ni, the Zn sample containing catalyst is defined by formation by more developed specific surface and porous structure.
