Ferrierite-based catalysts for the selective hydrocracking of n-hexane
Deposited platinum catalysts based on zeolite type Ferrier containing Pt 1,3-2,8 % by weight is cooked. For the first time the localization of Pt in the zeolite channels is studied. It is shown that platinum localized in them, improves the yield of the products of selective hydrocracking of n-hexane. Platinum on the external surface of zeolite crystals is involved in the conversion of n-hexane in the direction of the formation of hydrocarbons isomeric structure. The catalysts can be used to improve the octane of gasoline-reforming characteristics by selective removal of low-octane n-paraffins, and increasing the proportion of high-octane gasolines isoparaffin hydrocarbons in catalytic reforming.
