Conclusions
-
1.
The characteristics of isopentane dehydrogenation in the presence of iodine and water depend on the nature of the diluent.
-
2.
The dilution of isopentane with water enables the yield of isoprene from the amount of isopentane passed through and the selectivity with respect to isoprene to be raised substantially.
