Abstract

Catalytic testing of Pt supported MOR with various Na+/H+ ratio revealed that benzene hydrogenation occurs via two pathways, i.e., on metal sites and on Brønsted acid sites with hydrogen spilt over from the close metal surface. In the presence of sulfur, the metal surface was poisoned and the catalytic activity remained on Brønsted acid sites. Pt supported on partially exchanged MOR showed a higher rate of benzene conversion and a higher sulfur resistance than the other catalysts. This was due to a subtle balance between a high Brønsted acid site concentration that deactivated the catalysts by coking and metal sulfur poisoning and a low Brønsted acid site concentration, i.e., a low benzene conversion on the acid sites. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 13th International Zeolite Conference (Montpellier, France 7/8-13/2001).
