"n-paraffin hydroisomerization enables efficient Pt-metal oxide interaction in bifunctional catalysis manufacture; one of most important industrial reactions... 0.3wt%PtCeOx/ZSM-22 showed high performance in n-paraffin hydroisomerization with enhanced turnover frequency, a high isomer selectivity (96%) at high n-paraffin conversion rate (91%), and an 87% i-paraffin yield, which was superior to the commercial Pt/ZSM-22 catalyst with traditional high Pt content (no less than 0.5wt% Pt)"
