Catalysis experiments
The protolytic cracking of n-pentane and n-heptane were conducted in a tubular flow reactor with a quartz tube with an internal diameter of 7 mm at ambient pressure. Catalyst pellet (300 - 500 µm) were activated in situ at 813 K with a heating ramp of 10 K min^-1 for 1 h in 20 ml min^-1 synthetic air and then flushed for 30 min with 20 ml min^-1 N2. The reactant stream was introduced into the reactor via an evaporator, using N2 as a carrier gas. The reaction was carried out between 733 and 793 K. The molar ratio between N2 and n-heptane was kept at 100. Reactant and products were separated and analysed by on-line chromatography (Superlco Q-Plot, capillary column: 30 m × 0.53 mm × 2.0 µm) using an FID detector.
