Conclusions
-
1.
The conversions of n-octane, 1-methyl-2-ethyl-cyclopentane, n-propylcyclopentane, ethylbenzene, p-, m-, and o-xylenes in the presence of a catalyst 0.6% Pt/γ-Al2O3 at atmospheric pressure in a stream of hydrogen were investigated in the temperature interval 300–520°, using a microreactor.
-
2.
The aromatization of n-octane is accompanied by the reaction of C6-dehydrocyclization, forming 1-methyl-2-ethylcyclopentane and n-propylcyclopentane.
-
3.
Alkylcyclopentanes undergo dehydroisomerization under the selected experimental conditions, forming aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogenolysis, and to a negligible degree dehydrogenation, forming alkylcyclopentenes.
-
4.
Ethylbenzene and all three xylenes do not isomerize into one another, but undergo dealkylation, forming benzene and toluene.
