Influence of the addition of a second metal on the catalytic performance of Pt-beta agglomerated catalyst in the hydroisomerization of n-octane
In this work, the hydroisomerization of n-octane on mono and bimetallic beta agglomerated zeolite based catalysts was investigated. As the metal function, platinum and combinations with nickel and tin were studied. Test reactions were carried out at 10 bar and 290-410 degrees C. The bimetallic catalyst with the lowest amount of Ni yielded the greatest multibranched selectivity.
