The effect of Al containing nano size silicate (Al-HMS) as support of catalyst in the catalytic reforming of n-heptane

The nano size silica’s of the MMS (HMS)-type, with and without different amounts of Al, has been prepared using hexadecylamine as a structure directing agent.synthesized materials have been used as support for pt catalysts. The resulting materials have been characterized by low angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and BET surface area. Catalytic activities of the samples were investigated in the catalytic reforming of nheptane.
