Hydroisomerization of n-pentane over platinum promoted nanostructer ZSM-5 was studied. The effect of temperature on the n-pentane rate of conversion and also iso-pentane and other productsselectivity was investigated at atmospheric pressure between 200 and 300°C. It was observed that with increasing the reaction temperature, rate of n-pentane conversion increased however selectivity toward iso-pentane decreased. These trends can be attributed to increasing overall reaction rate andalso side reactions with increasing reaction temperature
