A series of bimetallic Pt-Sn/alumina catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method. The structure of these catalysts was studied by physical adsorption of nitrogen. Reactions between n-hexane and hydrogen were carried out in order to study the catalytic activity and deactivation trends. This work shows that the sol-gel method offers an interesting and potentially useful method of preparing supported metallic and bimetallic samples. In this study we deal only with xerogel samples. 18 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
