A study was made into the problem of selection of catalysts for desired reactions of hydrocarbons. For this catalyst selection, the reaction mechanism must be known. The isomerization of xylene by means of methyl shift on acid zeolites was investigated. Also, the disproportionation of xylene into toluene and trimethylbenzene was studied. Transformations of alkanes on pure zeolites and mechanical mixtures of platinum and alumina and zeolites were also discussed. Diffusional limitations and steric constraints in the neighborhood of the active centers were also covered.
