Developement of new bifunctional catalysts
- With bifunctional reactions hydrogen is activated on the metal and diffuses on the surface to the acidic centre, where the carbon hydrate conversiontakes place (i.e. the hydroisomerization of n-hexane). Due to the mobility of the activated hydrogen it is possible to create the bifunctional catalyst by mixing of the metallic (metal on support) and the acidic component (H-zeolite). The component metal/support can be seperately pre-treated from the zeolite, so that the metal is constrictedly accessible for catalyst poisons, but furthermore active for hydrogen activation.
