Abstract

Although DAF-1 is a superior isomerisation catalyst at lower temperatures [reaching some 50% of the thermodynamically limited conversion in the range 250-300°C at a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of but-1-ene of 3 h -1] both its activity and its selectivity, as well as its longevity, are inferior to those of H+-ferrierite and H+-Theta-1 in the range 350-400°C: the performance of MALPO-5, -11 and of -36 (M = Mg) is much poorer than that of DAF-1.
