Zeolites treated with silicon tetrachloride vapour. Part 5.—Catalytic cracking of n-hexane

Abstract
The catalytic activity of a series of samples of zeolite Y dealuminated with silicon tetrachloride vapour was tested by cracking of n-hexane at various temperatures. A reaction mechanism, involving high-molecular-weight intermediates, is proposed to account for the observed product distribution. Preliminary experiments with the cracking on dealuminated ferrierite and zeolite omega (synthetic mazzite) are also reported.
