Abstract
The characterisation by radiothermoluminescence /RTL/ method of alumina TA 600 catalyst used for 1-butene isomerisation in cis- and trans-2-butene is described. The glow curve, the RTL parameters and the catalyst-reactant radiative coupling evidenced by RTL method are presented. Using the correlation between catalytic activity and RTL data a catalytic activity model is suggested. On the basis of such a model the importance of the structural defects of the catalyst and/or support for the catalytic activity is explained.
