Dehidroisomerización de n-butano sobre catalizadores bifuncionales tipo Al-MCM-41 y Ga-MCM-41 impregnados con Pt o Ga
Abstract
A series of bi-functional catalysts was prepared by using Al-MCM-41 and Ga-MCM-41 with Si/Me ratios of 15 and 50 impregnated with 0,5 Wt% of Pt or Ga. The n-butane dehydroisomerization was studied at 773 K. Catalysts based on Pt/Al-MCM-41 were less selective (more hydrogenolyzing) than those based on Ga-MCM-41. For the latter, Ga species segregated to extra-framework positions might exercise a kind of geometric effect on the Pt clusters inhibiting hydrogenolysis. The catalyst Ga/Al-MCM-41 showed the closest approach to the ideal dehydroisomerization catalyst.
