Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The products of the thermal desorption of ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene previously adsorbed at 20°C on an aluminum-tungsten oxide catalyst, aluminum-molybdenum oxide catalyst, aluminum oxide, and tungsten oxide were studied in the range from 20 to 600°C. The desorption products contain hydrocarbons with lower molecular weight than the compounds adsorbed as well as CO and CO2.

  2. 2.

    Ethylene and propylene are adsorbed in approximately equal amounts which are significantly less than the amount of isobutylene adsorbed. Products of the isomerization of isobutylene were not found.

  3. 3.

    The lack of activity of the catalysts in the oligomerization of ethylene and propylene is presumably the result of the low adsorption of these olefins. The oligomerization of isobutylene proceeds by a collisional mechanism with the surface occupied by isobutylene.
