Abstract: A Pt/WO3-ZrO2 catalyst was prepared by impregnating hydrous zirconia synthe sized by the hydrothermal method. The effect of hydrothermal conditions of Z r(OH) 4 on the isomerization behavior of the catalyst was investigated. The present ca talyst showed interesting isomerization behavior. The catalyst prepared using cr ystalline zirconia as the support possessed a higher isomerization activity than that prepared using amorphous zirconium hydroxide as the support.
