Abstract
Reports the effect that operating conditions have in the selective transformation of 1-butene into propylene.  A catalyst of HZSM-5 zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 280) modified with 1 wt % K and agglomerated with bentonite and alumina was used in the study.
Researchers conducted kinetic runs in a fixed bed reactor. They evaluated kinetic performance at zero time and throughout time on stream in order to find the suitable conditions to maximize propylene yield and selectivity and minimize deactivation by coke.
