| dc.description.abstract | Isomerization of n-heptane over Ni–WOx/Al2O3–SiO2 catalysts was carried out in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure. The first part of this study deals with the preparation of two series of catalysts (A and B) by the sol–gel method, while the second part deals with the isomerization of n-heptane. The principal objective of this study was to choose the catalyst giving the best isomer yield (diand tri-branched ones) with optimum reaction conditions (reaction temperature, reduction temperature and time on stream). From the results obtained, the optimum nickel content was found to be 15 wt% and it seems that the incorporation of tungsten (B series) leads to a significant enhancement in the activity of the prepared catalysts. After running on stream for 100 min, the catalyst with 15% nickel and 10% tungsten (B4 catalyst) gives the best results (29% conversion and 70% selectivity) at 250 8C. | ar |
