Abstract:A series of mesoporous Ni−Cu/WO 3 /ZrO 2 (1Ni1Cu/mWZr) was successfully prepared with F127 as a template and used as catalysts for isobutane hydroisomerization to n-butane. The effects of the F127/ZrO 2 molar ratio on the structure were investigated, and the results of characterization indicate that 1Ni1Cu/mWZr-13 has a high surface area (S BET = 86.96 m 2 •g −1 ). Using 1Ni1Cu/mWZr-13 calcined at 750 °C as a catalyst, the isobutane conversion and selectivity to n-butane were 80.74 and 62.66%, respectively, un… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
