INVESTIGATION OF THE ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF BUTENE-1 TO BUTENES-2 ON BINARY TUNGSTEN-CONTAINING CATALYSTS

Abstract

The activity of tungsten-containing catalysts in the reaction of isomerization of butene-1 to butenes-2 was studied in the work. The results obtained showed that the ^ introduction of the second element into the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst had a different effect on its activity in the butene-1 isomerization reaction. It was established that an increase in the amount of molybdenum in the composition of a binary tungsten-containing catalyst at low temperatures leads to a decrease in the degree of butene-1 isomerization while at high temperatures it leads to an increase in the rate of butene-1 isomerization. It found that the addition of titanium to the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst leads to an increase in the butene-1 isomerization rate. When copper is added to the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst, the total yield of butene-2 passes through a maximum, and on samples rich in copper, the isomerization of butene-1 practically does not occur. It revealed that the activity of binary tungsten oxide catalysts in the isomerization reaction of butene-1 to butenes-2 changes in the following order: Ti-W-O > Mo-W-O > Cu-WO.
