Recently there has been considerable interest in the Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts for the selective reduction of NO by light hydrocarbons for the purpose of atmospheric pollution abatement. Isobutane and n-pentane cracking were studied over Cu zeolite catalysts and these results were compared with their HY analogues at low conversions and at temperatures of 673 K and below. Three forms of the catalysts were used: those reduced in CO at 773 K; those reduced with H[sub 2] at 473 K; and those in the oxidic form (following flushing with He at 773 K). In contrast with an earlier publication, very little difference in activity was found between the two reduced forms of the catalysts did not differ significantly from each other nor from the H-form of the zeolite. They are typical of a Bronsted acid catalysis. The oxidic form of the catalyst produced excess H[sub 2] in increasing amounts with time on stream. This could be quantitatively accounted for by the coking of the catalyst. These results negate the previous claim that Lewis acid sites are effective in the cracking of light hydrocarbons over Cu zeolites. 16 refs., 8 figs., 6 tabs. |
