<p>This repository includes experimental data associated with the publication: N.Korica, P.S.F.Mendes, J.De Clercq, J.W.Thybaut &quot;Interplay of metal-acid balance and methylcyclohexane admixture effect on <em>n</em>-octane hydroconversion over Pt/HUSY&quot;,&nbsp;submitted to Industrial &amp; Engineering Chemistry Research journal in May 2021.</p> <p>The impact of methylcyclohexane admixture on <em>n</em>-octane hydroconversion (isomerization and cracking) has been studied by experiments performed on high-throughput setup over Pt/HUSY catalyst with four different Pt loadings. Furthermore, the feed to reactor was varied for all examined catalysts from pure <em>n</em>-octane, over equimolar mixture of <em>n</em>-octane and methylcyclohexane, to pure methylcyclohexane.&nbsp;</p> <p>The process conditions which were used for every Pt loading are further summarized:</p> <ul> <li>0.5wt.%Pt/HUSY <ul> <li>Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol &ndash; 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1</li> <li>Temperature, K &ndash; 523 ; 543</li> <li>Pressure, bar &ndash; 10 ; 20</li> <li>Partial pressure of reactants, bar &ndash; 0.1 (pure) ; 0.05 (mix)</li> </ul> </li> <li>0.1wt.%Pt/HUSY <ul> <li>Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol &ndash; 1:0 ; 1:1; 3:1</li> <li>Temperature, K &ndash; 523 ; 543</li> <li>Pressure, bar &ndash; 10 ; 20</li> <li>Partial pressure of reactants, bar &ndash; 0.05 (in all feeds)</li> </ul> </li> <li>0.07wt.%Pt/HUSY <ul> <li>Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol &ndash; 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1</li> <li>Temperature, K &ndash; 523 ; 543 ; 563 ; 583 ; 603&nbsp;</li> <li>Pressure, bar &ndash; 10 ; 20</li> <li>Partial pressure of reactants, bar &ndash; 0.05 (in all feeds)</li> </ul> </li> <li>0.04wt.%Pt/HUSY <ul> <li>Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol &ndash; 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1</li> <li>Temperature, K &ndash; 603 ; 623&nbsp;</li> <li>Pressure, bar &ndash; 10 ; 20</li> <li>Partial pressure of reactants, bar &ndash; 0.05 (in all feeds)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>The catalytic activity of tested catalysts was compared based on conversion of both reactants, yields of octane isomers, selectivities to mono- and dibranched octane isomers, and selectivities to isomers of methylcyclohexane.
