Reaction Steps

An aromatization test of a charge of C5 hydrocarbons (made up of 1-pentene and n-pentane in a weight ratio of 40:60) was conducted using an experimental apparatus consisting of a steel reactor (length=710 mm, internal diameter=12.5 mm, external diameter=35 mm) equipped with an internal thermometric sheath for control of the temperature. Heating took place with the aid of 4 ovens arranged in series along the reactor itself. The catalyst was introduced in the form of granules of appropriate sizes (20-40 mesh) and diluted with inert material. The feeding of the reagents (contained in a special refrigerated tank and kept under pressure in nitrogen) was performed using an HPLC pump. The products coming out of the reactor were condensed (at a temperature of 5° C.) and collected, partly in the liquid phase, and partly in the gas phase. Both the phases then underwent gas-chromatography analysis.
