The property-activity relationship of WO 3 supported on ZrO 2 (WZ) was evaluated in n-butane isomerization for a series of catalysts with WO 3 loading ranging from 5 to 20 wt% on ZrO 2. The catalysts were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation of Zr(OH) 4 with an aqueous solution of (NH 4) 6[H 2...
