Catalysts prepared by ion exchange of clinoptilolite-based natural zeolite tuffs with NH4 +, Ba2+ and Pb2+ were investigated in the isomerization reaction of α-pinene at atmospheric pressure under nitrogen flow. Activity and selectivity to mono-, bi- and tricyclic products were correlated with acidity strength.
