SHAPE-SELECTIVE CRACKING OF OCTANES OVER PARTIALLY CATION EXCHANGED H-MORDENITE
Cracking of octanes over H–Y, H-mordenite, and partially cation exchanged H-mordenite was carried out. It was found that the original reactivities of octanes were 3-methylheptane > 2,2,4-trimethylpentane >> octane and in the case of H-mordenite the order changed to octane>> 3-methylheptane > 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. By the partial cation exchange only 2,2,4-trimethylpentane reactivity was decreased with the ionic radius of exchanged cation.
