Isomerization of n-hexane on Pd/SO42-/ZrO2/Al2O3 and Mechanical Mixtures Pd/Al2O3 (Pd/SiO2) + SO42-/ZrO2/Al2O3

Pd/Al2O3, Pd/SiO2 and their mechanical mixtures with SO42-/ZrO2/Al2O3 were prepared and tested in isomerization of n-hexane. The best catalytic performance was reached on the alumina systems where a part of palladium atoms was in the charged state.
