Bimolecular hydrogen transfer over zeolites and SAPOs having the faujasite structure
Abstract
Silica-rich Y zeolites prepared by primary or secondary synthesis and samples of SAPO-37 have been synthesized and characterized. These materials are then evaluated as catalysts for the transformation of cyclohexene. From product distributions at low conversion the relative rates of isomerization and bimolecular hydrogen transfer are measured and discussed in terms of active site density.
