Research on the preparation of metallocene/Hβ catalyst for n-hexane isomerization

The research on isomerization technology of n-alkanes is necessary, and there is few study on metallocene catalysts for isomerization of n-alkanes. In this study, novel ferrocene/H beta, acetylferrocene/H beta and titanocene dichloride/H beta catalysts for isomerization of n-hexane was prepared, and the isomerization activity of them was investigated. Moreover, the optimum reaction conditions for catalysts were investigated, respectively. The results showed that the optimal loading of active components were 0.2%, 0.2% and 2.0%, and the optimal reaction temperature of them was 300 and 310 degrees C, respectively. The study of this kind of catalysts has importantly theoretical and practical significance.
