Abstract
Noble metals like platinum, gold, silver, rhodium, palladium and copper
were used as catalysts and promoters in oligomerization hydrogenation,
dehydrogenation, and oxidation reaction to get valuable chemicals, and green fuel
without any harmful effect on the environment. Platinum, rhodium, palladium, copper,
monometallic and bimetallic with reducible and non-reducible supported material
zeolites, Si/Al, MCM-41 and Al2O3
show excellent activity toward conversion of
reactants. Among noble metals, gold has shown low activity and high deactivation. The
C4
hydrocarbon formation was faster than C6
during the oligomerization reaction over
the metal catalyst at mild reaction conditions.
