Selective ring opening of methylcyclopentane (MCP) and methylcyclohexane (MCH) over a series of Iridium catalysts supported on γ-alumina, silica and ultra-stable Y (USY) zeolites was investigated. The acid density of the supports was modified by co impregnation of potassium in small quantities and its effect on conversion, yield and selectivity was evaluated. USY zeolites showed 26.9–38.1 and 27.5–33.7% of conversion with ring opening selectivities between 56.4–63.8 and 94.3–97.7% for MCP and MCH, respectively. Whereas on silica, the conversions were 10.7–16.6 and 10.4–14.0% with 96.9–99.0 and 93.3–99.1% selectivity. Interestingly, potassium acted as a promoter in case of USY zeolites while suppressed of activity of Ir supported on γ-alumina and silica. The reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, contact time and the feed/catalyst ratio were optimized. The evaluation of catalysts’ activity and selectivity towards ring opening of MCP and MCH is of great importance in understanding which catalyst modification could be effective in treatment of gasoline/diesel feed stocks for improving octane/cetane rating and fuel quality.Graphical AbstractSelective ring opening of methylcyclopentane and methylcyclohexane over a series of Iridium catalysts supported on surface modified by co impregnation of potassium of γ-alumina, silica and USY zeolites was investigated and its effect on conversion, yield and selectivity was evaluated.
