Jg. Wang et al., MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION OF COMPLEX ISOMERIZATION .2. EFFECT OF ADSORPTION ON PRODUCT SELECTIVITY, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 54(1), 1995, pp. 65-71
The complex isomerization A=B=C over zeolite catalysts was simulated b
y the Monte Carlo method, and the effect of adsorption of molecules ac
companied with chemical reaction upon the product selectivity has been
investigated. The results show that the product selectivity is clearl
y related to the difference of equilibrium adsorption constants of mol
ecules in the reaction. This suggests that the shape selectivity in ze
olite-catalyzed reactions is the result of the channel structure and s
urface acidity of zeolite catalysts.
