Abstract

In order to examine whether the metal function or the acid function is “critical” for the reforming reaction, the dehydrocyclization of n-hexane, n-heptane and n-octane was carried out over acidic and non acidic platinum-alumina catalysts. It is concluded that the metal function is the “critical” parameter with the C6 and C, alkanes whereas both the metal and acid could be important with n-octane.
