Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXXIX. Der Einfluß acider Träger auf die katalytische Wirksamkeit von Metallen

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXIX. Influence of Acidic Carriers on the Catalytic Effect of Metals The catalytic behaviour of modified zeolite catalysts containing metal in the isomerization of n-hexane as well as in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane and in the hydrogenolysis of ethane shows that the catalytic action of the metal can be continuously and reversibly varied by modifying the carrier acidity. From the concept of an electronic interaction between metal and (acid) carrier conclusions can be derived for a directed modification of the catalytic properties of metal/carrier catalysts.
