Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the improved thermal stability of mesoporous alumina support of catalysts for the isomerization of light paraffins. Mesoporous alumina samples have been synthesized using poly(ethylene oxide)-based nonionic surfactants. The effect that the addition of n-alkylamines to the synthesis gel has on the texture and thermal stability of mesoporous aluminas is studied. Textural and structural characterization using nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diffraction, 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as catalytic n-hexane hydroisomerization tests are performed.
