Abstract
Various Pt/NaCsβ catalysts with decreasing Na/Cs ratios and a Pt/KL sample taken as a reference catalyst for aromatization ofn-hexane, have been prepared by exchange of NaCsβ and KL zeolites in a Pt tetraammine solution then calcination and reduction. The increase of the Cs content in the NaCsβ zeolitic support results in a decrease of the cyclohexane adsorption and Pt exchange capacities. The Pt/Csβ and Pt/KL samples show similar behaviors which strongly differ from those of the Na-containing Pt/NaCsβ samples in terms of (i) reducibility of the Pt ions after calcination, (ii) shape of the FTIR spectra of CO adsorbed on the Pt clusters after reduction, and (iii) catalytic activity of these clusters in the conversion ofn-hexane. In particular, the selectivity to aromatization is much higher on the Pt/Csβ and Pt/KL catalysts than on the Na-containing Pt/NaCsβ ones. The reasons for the specific behaviors of the Pt/Csβ and Pt/KL samples are discussed.
