Comparison of the promoting effects of gallium and aluminium on the n-butane isomerization actvity of sulfated zirconia
Sulfated zirconia catalysts promoted by gallium or aluminium were prepared and tested for n-butane isomerization. Both elements increase and stabilize the isomerization rate. Characterization results showed that the promoting mechanism of gallium was different from that of aluminium.
