Noble metal based catalysts being 0.8 wt.%Pd and 0.35 wt.%Pt supported on HZSM-5 zeolite were subjected to the investigation. Physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were determined by the methods of nitrogen physi-sorption, SEM, XRD, TEM, NH3-TPD, TPR, and Hydrogen Pulse Chemi-sorption (HPC). Activity of catalysts in the isomerization of n-C6 and n-C5 + n-C6 mixture was studied in a micro-flow reactor in the temperature range of 225 − 325 oC at pressure of 0.1 MPa and 0.7 MPa; the molar ratio H2/ hydrocarbon: 5.92, concentration of n-C5 or n-C6: 4.6 mol.%, GHSV 2698 h-1. The stability of catalysts was also determined. The obtained catalysts expressed high acid density, good reducing property, and high metal dispersion with the cluster size in the range of nanometer. They were an excellent contact for isomerization of n-hexane or n-C5 + n-C6 mixture with high conversion, selectivity, and yield. At optimal temperature, n-paraffin conversions were as high as 57 – 63 % and selectivity was 90 %. Pressure had the positive effect to the catalyst conversion, selectivity, and stability. At 0.7 MPa, both catalysts produced 66- 69 RON liquid product containing friendly environmental iso-paraffins which is superior blending stock for green gasoline.
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.
