on Mn-Y. The activity of Mn-beta-1 catalyst showed an appar-
ent reduction in the initial three recyles, but remains basically
unchanged in the following four recycles; however, that of Mn-Y
has kept considerably high conversions of 98.5–99.9 mol% for
seven recycles. The small decrease in the catalytic activity could
be assigned to the leaching of free Mn2+ species occluded in the
pores of zeolites during the reaction process.
