Catalytic cracking of isobutane and 2-methyl-hexane over various USY-zeolite catalysts was studied. A kinetic model was developed for isobutane cracking over calcined and steamed Y-zeolite catalysts. Catalyst steaming leads to decreased Bronsted acidity. The studies of catalyst acid and basic properties were broadened to include alumina-supported metal oxides and a sulfated zirconia catalyst (isomerization of normal butane)
