M. Marczewski et H. Marczewska, CATALYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF N-PENTANE IN THE PRESENCE OF SOLID SUPERACIDS, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 69(6), 1995, pp. 946-955
Kinetics of n-pentane to isobutane decomposition catalysed by solid su
peracids: Al2O3/AlCl3 and Al2O3/ZrCl4 has been studied. Detailed schem
e of tile reaction including active centres evolution was used to deve
lop rate equation of isobutane formation.
