Abstract
The hydroisomerization of n-hexane has been investigated at atmospheri c pressure in the temperature range 523-623 K over Pt-H-ETS-10 contain ing different amounts of Pt. The influence of Pt content and reaction parameters on the isomerization efficiency is reported. The optimum Pt content for the reaction was found to be around 0.3% Pt. The moderate acidity of the molecular sieve (H-form) results in high selectivities for isomerization. The studies suggest that n-hexane transformation o ver Pt-H-ETS-10 proceeds through a bifunctional route.
