Kinetics and mechanistic study of n-alkane hydroisomerization reaction on Pt-doped γ-alumina catalyst

The reactivity of catalyst towards the maximum selectivity of i-alkanes are; for n-hexane: 2-methyl pentane (2-MP), for n-heptane: 2,2-dimethyl pentane (2,2-DMP) and for n-octane: 2,3-dimethyl hexane (2,3-DMH) are the major i-alkanes at the optimum reaction condition is 180 °C and 20 bar.112
