Hydroisomerization of long-chain paraffins over nano-sized bimetallic Pt–Pd/H-beta catalysts

Abstract

The hydroisomerization of long-chain <italic>n</italic>-paraffins was studied in the temperature range of 205–230 °C at <italic>p</italic>_H2 = 50 bar over bimetallic catalysts consisting of mixtures of platinum and palladium supported on commercially available nano-sized zeolite beta.
