Abstract

Isomerization of heptane was carried out at 573 K under atmospheric pressure using molybdenum oxides as catalysts. MoO3 was inactive for this reaction. H2 reduction of MoO3 at 623 K, however, enhanced the isomerization activity and selectivity, which became almost constant after the reduction for 24 h. The reduced MoO3 exhibited a higher isomerization activity than a typical bifunctional catalyst, 0.5 wt%Pt/USY zeolite, while there was no appreciable difference in product distribution between these two catalysts. These results indicate that the reduced MoO3 catalyzed the isomerization of heptane via a conventional bifunctional mechanism.
