Conclusions
-
1.
It was found that reactions of hydrocracking and hydrogenolysis of n-pentane and n-hexane take place intensively on high-silica zeolites containing rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and nickel, in contrast to pallasium-containing zeolites, which are active and selective catalysts of isomerization of n-pentane.
-
2.
Rhodium and iridium zeolite catalysts also exhibit very high activity in the hydrogenation of benzene. At 100–120°C and atmospheric pressure, benzene is selectively hydrogenated into cyclohexane, which is not obtained on the other metal-containing zeolite catalysts investigated.
