Characterization results showed that the specific surface area, pore volume, and acid amount of the catalyst Pt/HY-β all decreased compared to the original zeolite. The catalytic performance of this catalyst in n-octane hydroisomerization was investigated in a fixed bed stainless steel tubular reactor. The results showed that at a hydrogen/n-octane volume ratio of 1000, pressure of 0.6 MPa, temperature of 230 ℃ and LHSV of 3 h^-1, the conversion of n-octane, yield of liquid, hydrocracking rate and yield of iso-octane were 52.32%, 88.66%, 12.60%, 39.51%, respectively.展开更多

The structure, thermal stability and microstructure were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. It was identified that a new bulk amorphous alloy with the larger supercooled liquid region Tx of 100 K is obtained with substituting Ni by 1 at. pct Pd. Furthermore, the origins that thermal stability and GFA change with increasing of Pd have also beer discussed.展开更多
