Catalysts containing 1.2, 3.1, 6.1, and 10.0 g Ga as Ga(NO{sub 3}) per 100 g HZSM-5 prepared by incipient wetness impregnation have been subjected to hydrogen reduction at 848 K in a microbalance and the reduction rates and capacities compared with identical materials further impregnated with 0.5 g Pt as Pt(NH{sub 3}){sub 4} (NO{sub 3}){sub 2} per 100 g HZSM-5. Weight loss stoichiometry suggests that supported Ga(NO{sub 3}){sub 3} is converted to Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} upon calcination in 3% O{sub 2} in He while weight loss stoichiometry upon hydrogen reduction at 848 K in all cases can be correlated (within certain bounds which are discussed) as Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} + 2H{sup +}Z{sup {minus}} {yields} 2Ga{sup +}Z{sup {minus}} + 3H{sub 2}O, where Z{sup {minus}} is the anionic zeolitic framework. The addition of Pt does not increase the total amount of Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} which can be reduced even in cases where the cation capacity of the zeolite limits the reduction reaction but does increase the maximum rate of Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} reduction.
