Abstrakt: Herein, four catalysts, consisting of either MFI or BEA as the zeolite framework in the presence or absence of Ni, are compared to explore the individual and collective adsorptive and catalytic contributions of pore topology, Ni sites, and acid sites. Both continuous and pulsed chemisorption/reaction experiments are used to obtain a complete picture of the time‐dependent adsorption‐desorption behavior, reaction mechanisms, and deactivation steps. The methodology highlights the effect of acid sites, especially during the initial stages of reaction and in the BEA‐based catalysts, which have higher acidity at a given Si/Al ratio. In addition, Ni accelerates the reaction and improves the selectivity towards intermediate oligomers. However, the tendency for the most active Ni and acid sites to saturate and deactivate more rapidly than the less active ones may lead to misinterpretation when using the continuous reactor alone. Hence, the dominant mechanisms over the different catalyst sites and reaction times are discussed based on the combined steady and dynamic experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
