T. Lopez et al., EFFECT OF TETRABUTYLTIN ON THE ACIDITY AND REDUCIBILITY OF PLATINUM-TIN ALUMINA-SUPPORTED SOL-GEL CATALYSTS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 61(1), 1997, pp. 49-55
Tin precursor effect in Pt-Sn/Al2O3 sol-gel catalysts has been studied
. It is shown that catalysts prepared with tetrabutyltin allow a bette
r reduction of platinum than catalysts prepared with tin tetrachloride
and with tin tetra-tert-amyloxide. The solids prepared with tetrabuty
ltin are catalysts showing a high activity in isopropanol decompositio
n and cyclohexane dehydrogenation.
