The Effect of Modification of H-Mordenite on its Activity and Selectivity in n-Pentane Isomerization in the Presence of Benzene

Benzene hinders the isomerization of n-pentane on the H-form of dealuminated mordenite; the modification of zeolite by palladium (0.5% wt.) and silica (SiO2/HM = 0.2) reduces the hindrance of the isomerization reaction.
