description: This repository includes experimental data associated with the publication: N.Korica, P.S.F.Mendes, J.De Clercq, J.W.Thybaut "Interplay of metal-acid balance and methylcyclohexane admixture effect on <em>n</em>-octane hydroconversion over Pt/HUSY", submitted to Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research journal in May 2021. The impact of methylcyclohexane admixture on <em>n</em>-octane hydroconversion (isomerization and cracking) has been studied by experiments performed on high-throughput setup over Pt/HUSY catalyst with four different Pt loadings. Furthermore, the feed to reactor was varied for all examined catalysts from pure <em>n</em>-octane, over equimolar mixture of <em>n</em>-octane and methylcyclohexane, to pure methylcyclohexane. The process conditions which were used for every Pt loading are further summarized: 0.5wt.%Pt/HUSY Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol – 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1 Temperature, K – 523 ; 543 Pressure, bar – 10 ; 20 Partial pressure of reactants, bar – 0.1 (pure) ; 0.05 (mix) 0.1wt.%Pt/HUSY Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol – 1:0 ; 1:1; 3:1 Temperature, K – 523 ; 543 Pressure, bar – 10 ; 20 Partial pressure of reactants, bar – 0.05 (in all feeds) 0.07wt.%Pt/HUSY Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol – 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1 Temperature, K – 523 ; 543 ; 563 ; 583 ; 603 Pressure, bar – 10 ; 20 Partial pressure of reactants, bar – 0.05 (in all feeds) 0.04wt.%Pt/HUSY Feeds <em>n</em>-octane : methylcyclohexane, mol/mol – 1:0 ; 0:1; 1:1 Temperature, K – 603 ; 623 Pressure, bar – 10 ; 20 Partial pressure of reactants, bar – 0.05 (in all feeds) The catalytic activity of tested catalysts was compared based on conversion of both reactants, yields of octane isomers, selectivities to mono- and dibranched octane isomers, and selectivities to isomers of methylcyclohexane. These data are classified based on figures in the Article were they are shown.
