Abstract

Experimental kinetic data on the isomerization of n-butene to isobutene over fluorinated n-alumina (containing 2.0 wt% F) have been analyzed and a probable Langmuir-Hinshelwood (Hougen-Watson) model in the temperature range 605.5-636.5°K has been proposed based on adsorption of n-butene controlling (single site). The values of the equilibrium adsorption constant for isobutene at different temperatures thus obtained (by nonlinear least squares analysis of the kinetic data) have been compared with the corresponding values obtained by adsorption studies under reaction conditions. The values were found to agree to within 12% over the temperature range studied.
