The potential and limitations of the n-decane hydroconversion as a test reaction for characterization of the void space of molecular sieve zeolites

摘要: Abstract The bifunctional conversion of long-chain n-paraffins is a very attractive reaction for the characterization pore structure zeolites. Based on distribution isomerization and hydrocracking products, independent criteria are developed determination zeolite intracrystalline void space. This selection reliable sensitive supported by classical non-classical concepts used in ideal catalysis. chemistry carbenium ions acid zeolites reviewed illustrated with new data. It confirmed that model catalysis valid Pt-loaded USY H-ZSM-5. Effects crystal size, morphology Si Al ratio can be explained terms matching mismatching catalytic functions. At many stages complex network products unique function feed rather insensitive to changes temperature pressure. allows one compare structures based product distributions obtained different conditions. five proposed earlier characterize dimensions volume extended three criteria. Finally, way proceed n-decane test explained.
