    Isomerisation of ?-Pinene Over Beta Zeolites Synthesised by Different Methods
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Gündüz, Gönül; Dimitrova, Raina D.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Dimitrov, Ljubomir; Spassova, Maya
    Liquid-phase α-pinene isomerisation at l00°C in a batch reactor is studied over Beta zeolites synthesised by different methods. It is confirmed that α-pinene forms a carbenium ion in an acidic environment, which rearranges without capture by nucleophiles, to form mainly hydrocarbons as camphene, terpinenes, terpinolenes and heavy products. The microporous Beta samples show low activity despite the high acidity most probably because of the hindered intermediate formation. The nature of the enhanced activity of Beta mesopores samples is suggested to be a result from the high accessibility of the acidic sites. The isomerisation of α-pinene was studied over Beta zeolites synthesised by different methods. The main products are camphene, terpinenes, terpinolenes and heavy products. Beta zeolites with micro-/mesopores reveal excellent activity because of the appropriate balance between acidity and bimodal pore system. The microporous Beta samples show low activity despite the good total acidity most probably because of the steric effect for the formation of the intermediate cations.

    Liquid Phase Transformation of ?-Pinene Over Beta Zeolites Containing Aluminium or Boron, Titanium and Vanadium as Lattice Ions
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Gündüz, Gönül; Dimitrova, Raina D.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Dimitrov, Ljubomir
    Beta zeolites with different modules (SiO2/Al2 O3) and containing B, Ti or V in lattice positions were synthesised by different methods and tested as catalysts in liquid phase transformation of α-pinene at 100 °C in a batch reactor. It was established that the hydrogen forms of Beta samples with a SiO2/Al2O3 module of about 55-66 and containing both micro- and mesopores displayed high catalytic activity in liquid phase isomerization of α-pinene. Samples with boron, titanium or vanadium, as lattice ions possess insignificant catalytic activity.
