Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses cyclohexane ring opening on metal–zeolite catalysts. Various zeolite catalysts, such as H-ZSM-5, H-MOR, H-Beta, and La-FAU modified with noble metals, are tested in the ring opening of cyclohexane. Methylcyclopentane, gas products (C 1 -C 4 ), n-hexane, and isohexanes are shown to be the main reaction products. The highest ring opening selectivity is found for Pt/H-ZSM-5, Rh/H-ZSM-5, and Pt/H-Beta catalysts. Acidity is found to be important for achieving reasonable activity in the ring opening of cyclohexane and simultaneous isomerization into methylcyclopentane and isohexanes.
