Abstract
The deactivation of Pt/MOR catalysts during the isomerisation of n-pentane was studied measuring the catalytic performances under favourable deactivation conditions and using several physicochemical techniques for characterisation: ICP, XRD, XPS, IR-pryridine, NMR, NH3-TPD and CO chemisorption. Results showed that deactivation is favoured by a high density and strength of acid sites, small pore diameters and probably by a small amount of octahedrally co-ordinated aluminium. Deactivation is more limited by larger pore diameters and higher Si/AI ratios. In this case, coke is formed in the deepest part of the pores. Catalysts with higher Si/AI atomic ratios are more difficult to regenerate. The nature of coke is similar in all cases and independent of the Si/Al ratio values.
