Abstract: n-Pentane reaction over S22-82(PSZ) at an ambient temperature in the steady state system has been introduced in relation with the same reaction occurring over SO2-4/ZrO2(SZ). It can be concluded that both PSZ and SZ have two functions on n-pentane: isomerization and cracking. The products of the two reactions are i-pentane and i-butane respectively. The conversion of n-pentane isomerization and apparent reactive velocity constant lie mainly on the calcining temperature of each sample. The catalysis activity of PSZ is higher than that of SZ: the molar ratio of i-pentane over the former to that over the latter is 1.3/1 after 1 h reaction. The optimum calcining temperature of PSZ is 550 ℃, which is 50 ℃ lower than that of SZ. By means of S-content measurement, BET, XRD, FTIR and chemical analysis, the physical and chemical characteristics of S22-82 can be attained. We draw a conclusion that PSZ has stronger Lewis acidic sites and more acid quantity than SZ from the results of the in situ FTIR and Pyridine-FTIR experiment.
