1. We studied the effect of temperature and space velocity on the conversion of n-hexane over an aluminum-chromiunr-potassium catalyst. It was found that the yields of hexenes depended little on changes in temperature and space velocity while the benzene yields increased with a rise in temperature and a decrease in space velocity. 2. Thermodynamic calculations were made and it was shown that the experimental yield of hexenes was 73% of the equilibrium value in the best case. © 1960 Consultants Bureau.
