| Popis: | An experimental investigation of structure−performance effects in zeolite catalyzed skeletal isomerization has been carried out. Two structurally different, medium-pore-size zeolites (H-TON and H-FER) with similar acidities were compared in butene skeletal isomerization. While both catalysts proved to be efficient in the test reaction, their deactivation behavior differed substantially. H-FER exhibited significantly higher initial isobutene yields and selectivities, and the catalyst performance was also more stable with time-on-stream. H-TON, on the other hand, needed prolonged operation times in order to achieve product distributions comparable to those of H-FER. The predominant route to isobutene was found to be the monomolecular one, with the bimolecular paths of butene largely responsible for byproduct formation. H-TON was more selective toward disproportionation and, owing to its slightly larger pore dimensions, hydrogen transfer products. H-TON was also observed to be less sensitive to feed reactant... |
