Abstract

The dehydrocyclization of n-heptane at 520–550°C over pure chromia and chromia with added CaO and K2O (5 wt.% each) has been investigated. Introduction of an alkaline additive into Cr2O3 decreases markedly the yield of toluene. Raising of the reduction temperature of alkali-containing samples from 550 to 700°C results, in contrast to pure Cr2O3 and chromia-alumina systems, not in diminished, but in increased yields of toluene, the activity enhancement being particularly pronounced for the CaO-containing catalyst. These increased activities cannot be correlated either with variations in specific surface area or changes in the content of Cr6+ during subsequent oxidation, and presumably should be ascribed to more extensive catalyst reduction at higher temperatures.

Abstract

Изучена дегидроциклизация н-гептана при 520–550° на чистой окиси хрома и содержащей добавки CaO и K2O (по 5% вес.). Введение в Cr2O3 щелочной добавки резко уменьшает выход толуола. Повышение температуры восстановления щелочьсодержащих образцов от 550° до 700° приводит, в отличие от чистой Cr2O3 и алюмохромовых систем, не к понижению, а к повышению выходов толуола, причем увеличение активности было особенно заметным для катализатора с добавкой CaO. Повышение активности этих катализаторов под влиянием высокотемпературных обработок связано, скорее всего, с увеличением полноты их восстановления при более высоких температурах.
