Abstract
Isomerization of heptane and hexane and their mixtures in the presence of Pt/WO3-ZrO2 catalysts with the tungsten oxide content of 10–35 wt.% was studied. The best characteristics of isomerization of the С6–С7 alkanes mixture were observed on the catalysts with the WO3 content of 15–20 wt.%. According to ammonia thermodesorption data, the number of acid sites typically increases in this range of tungsten oxide content; according to IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, this occurs mostly with an increase in the number of Broensted acid sites.
