Abstract
Conversion reactions of mesitylene and n-decane mixture over different catalysts prepared on the base of ZSM-5 zeolite were investigated. The influence of reaction temperature on the activity and selectivity of HZSM-5, DZSM-5, and Ni-Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts obtained from NH4ZSM-5 zeolite was researched for this purpose. According to received results it can be concluded that mesitylene mostly exposed to isomerization and disproportionation, n-decane exposed to hydrocracking reactions up to C1–C4 hydrocarbon gases. The catalysts were characterized by textural properties and crystallinity. Thermal oxidation characteristics of coke deposited on the catalysts surface were also researched.
