Metathesis of 1-hexene over a WO3/SiO2 catalyst in a gas-phase fixed bed reactor.

The performance of a WO3/SiO2 catalyst has been investigated for the metathesis of 1-hexene in an isothermal, gas-phase fixed bed tubular reactor between 420-500°C and at latm. The reactor was fabricated from stainless steel and was placed in an electric tube furnace. The study focused on the effect...
