Abstract
The same effect of temperature on the production of CO, CO2 and H2O wa s found during oxidative treatment of HY zeolites either impregnated w ith pyrene or coked. Therefore, pyrene oxidation can be used to specif y the mechanism of coke oxidation. Three types of reactions can be dis tinguished: (a) condensation of polyaromatic molecules, (b) oxidation of polyaromatics into aldehydes, ketones, acids and anhydrides and (c) decarbonylation or decarboxylation of oxygenated compounds, all these reactions involving protonic sites.
