Jm. Campelo et al., COMPARISON OF N-DECANE HYDROCONVERSION WITH PT SAPO-5 AND PT/SAPO-11 CATALYSTS/, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 62(2), 1997, pp. 371-376
The product distributions from bifunctional conversion of n-decane ove
r Pt/SAPO-5 and Pt/SAPO-11 catalysts are compared in detail. Selectivi
ties in decane reaction vary largely with the catalyst employed: Pt/SA
PO-11 produces high yields of feed isomers, whereas Pt/SAPO-5 gives hi
gh yields of cracked products and only under mild reaction conditions
are isodecanes the main products obtained. These selectivities seem to
be determined by the structure of the catalyst.
