A PROCESS FOR THE ISOMERIZATION OF CYCLOHEXANE TO METHYL CYCLOPENTANE WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING IN THE VAPOR PHASE A HYDROCARBON MIXTURE COMPRISING CYCLOHEXANE AND OTHER HYDROCARBONS BOILING WITHIN THE GASOLINE BOILING RANGE WITH A SOLID GRANULAR CATALYST ESSENTIALLY COMPRISING A PARTIALLY DEHYDRATED CRYSTALLINE TYPE X ZEOLITIC METALLO ALUMINO SILICATE HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM PORES BETWEEN ABOUT 7A. AND ABOUT 13A, IN DIAMESTER, SAID CONTACTING BEING EFFECTED AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 100*F. AND ABOUT 800*F., AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN ABOUT 0 P.S.I.G. AND ABOUT 1,000 P.S.I.G., AND AT A LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY BETWEEN ABOUT 0.1 AND ABOUT 10, WHEREBY THERE IS OBTAINED AN ISOMERIAZTE ENRICHED IN METHYLCYCLOPENTANE; AND SEPARATING SAID ISOMERIATE INTO A METHYLCYCLOPENTANE PRODUCT FRACTION WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY CYCLOHEXANE-FREE AND AN UNCOVERTED FRACTION RICH IN CYCLOHEXANE.
