The effect of palladium addition to sulfated zirconia catalysts on physicochemical and catalytic properties in the n-hexane isomerization reaction

摘要

The effect of palladium introduction into SO_4/ZrO_2 catalysts on their textural and acidic properties, phase composition and catalytic performance in isomerization of n-hexane was studied. It was shown that Pd/SO_4/ZrO_2-Al_2O_3 catalysts are highly active and selective toward the formation of mono- and dimethylsubstituted isomers of hexane.
