Selective formation of propylene by hexane cracking over MCM-68 zeolite catalyst.
Dealumination of MCM-68 zeolite with MSE topology enhanced the selectivity to propylene (45-50%) and durability to coke formation during hexane cracking, regardless of the reaction temperature, which is attributed to the control of the position and density of acid sites originating from the framework Al atoms.
