The activity and selectivity for the isomerization of heptanes over Pd-loaded SAPO molecular sieves with AEL and AFI structure were investigated. By synthesis of the AEL molecular sieves from Al-isopropoxide, the acid site concentration could be controlled by the amount of silicon in the synthesis g...
