Abstract:
Double bond isomerization of olefins utilizing a catalyst comprising nickel and sulfur on a porous carrier; the catalyst being prepared by forming an initial composite of the nickel with the carrier material, sulfiding the initial composite to provide a sulfur/nickel atomic ratio of at least about 0.9 in the sulfided composite, and then stripping sufficient sulfur from the sulfided composite with hydrogen to provide a final isomerization catalyst composition having a sulfur/nickel atomic ratio of less than about 0.9 and more than about 0.55.
Abstract:
Double bond isomerization of olefins utilizing a catalyst comprising cobalt and sulfur on a porous carrier; the catalyst being prepared by forming an initial composite of the cobalt with the carrier material, sulfiding the initial composite to provide a sulfur/cobalt atomic ratio of at least about 1 in the sulfided composite, and then stripping sufficient sulfur from the sulfided composite with hydrogen to provide a final isomerization catalyst composition having a sulfur/cobalt atomic ratio of less than about 1 and more than about 0.55.
Abstract:
A hydrocarbon conversion catalyst comprising a platinum group component and a tin component composited with alumina, the composite having been treated with aluminum chloride and with carbon tetrachloride to produce an improved low temperature isomerization catalyst.
Abstract:
TRANSALKYLATION OF ALKYLAROMATICS, OCCURRING DURING THE ISOMERIZATION OF SUCH ALKYLAROMATICS, IS SUPPRESSED BY THE ADDITION OF A BASIC NITROGEN COMPOUND TO THE ISOMERIZATION REACTION. THE PROCESS IS SPECIALLY ADAPTABLE TO THE ISOMERIZATION OF C8 AROMATICS.
