n-Hexane Hydroisomerization Over Composite Catalysts Based on BEA Zeolite and Mesoporous Materials

Paixao V, Santos C, Nunes R, Silva JM, Pires J, Carvalho AP, Martins A

Composite catalysts based on HBEA zeolite and Pt loaded mesoporous materials-Al/SBA-15, Al/MCM-41 and PCH-where studied in n-hexane hydroisomerization. Textural characterization showed that the Pt particles are mainly at the external surface. A synergistic effect was achieved for Pt-PCH + HBEA composite, where an increase in di-branched products was observed.
