The SiO2 and g-Al2O3 supported MoOx catalyst and a MoOx-SiO2 catalyst have been studied in a conventional fixed-bed flow reactor for n-alkanes isomerization. It is shown that the MoOx-SiO2 catalyst with SiO2 framework, in which the bulk MoOx phase is large enough to form typical mesoporous structure, is promising in terms of its advantages of both improved mechanical strength and high catalytic properties over the supported MoOx and bulk MoOx catalyst.
