Microcalorimetric, {sup 13}C NMR spectroscopic, and reaction kinetic studies of silica- and L-zeolite-supported platinum catalysts for n-hexane conversion
- Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI (United States)
Reaction kinetics measurement of n-hexane conversion over 4% Pt/SiO{sub 2} and 1% Pt/SiO{sub 2} and 1% Pt/K(Ba)-L catalysts were made at a pressure of 3 atm and temperatures from 698 to 750 K. The rates of benzene and methylcyclopentane formation decrease with time during reaction over Pt/SiO{sub 2}, while 1% Pt/K(Ba)-L does not deactivate significantly. Microcalorimetric measurements at 353 K show that the heat of carbon monoxide adsorption is the same on freshly reduced Pt/SiO{sub 2} and Pt/K(Ba)-L catalysts; however, carbonaceous species that accumulate on Pt/SiO{sub 2} during n-hexane conversion decrease the total number of adsorption sites and the number of sites that adsorb carbon monoxide strongly. The 1% Pt/K(Ba)-L catalyst retains the adsorptive properties of the freshly reduced catalyst. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of {sup 13}CO adsorption show that cluster-sized platinum particles are more resistant to deactivation by self-poisoning reactions than larger platinum particles. The greater catalyst stability and higher steady-state activity of L-zeolite-supported platinum catalysts may be attributed to the ability of L-zeolite to stabilize cluster-sized particles under reaction conditions. Differences in dehydrocyclization activity between catalysts may be related to differences in the number of strong adsorption sites that are present under reaction conditions. 31 refs., 7 figs., 4 tabs.
