M.Sc. (Chemistry) / At Sasol the zeolite catalyst HZ-1 is used to isomerize short-chain hydrocarbons. In this reaction unwanted organic acids are also formed. This investigation has as focal point the interaction between one of these acids, n-butyric acid, and the catalyst. This experimental study consisted of kinetic experiments with a continuous reactor as well as a pulse reactor. In addition to this, temperature programmed desorption was used ...
