Abstract
A study has been made of the catalytic and acidic properties together with the surface composition of the zeolite HZSM-5 modified by gallium by hydrothermal treatment with a sodium gallate solution and also by impregnation with gallium nitrate solution. It has been established that the first method of introducing gallium produces a more selective catalyst for aromatization of n-butane. It has been shown that under the conditions of the catalytic reaction several types of active centers incorporating Ga are formed: Ga2O3 on the zeolite surface, gallium ions inside the zeolite canals, and gallium atoms at the surface of and in the lattice that are bonded to OH groups.
