REACTION OF BUTANE TO ISOBUTANE CATALYZED BY IRON OXIDE TREATED WITH SULFATE ION. SOLID SUPERACID CATALYST

Makoto Hino, Kazushi Arata

Open publisher page 76 citations

Abstract

Abstract Solid acid catalysts were obtained by exposing Fe(OH)3 or Fe2O3 to 0.1–0.5 N H2SO4 and then calcining in air at 500°C. Fe(OH)3 used was prepared by hydrolyzing FeCl3 or Fe(NO3)3 with ammonia, and Fe2O3 by decomposing Fe(NO3)3 at 200°C. These catalysts were active for the skeletal isomerization of butane at room temperature or 0°C.
