Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
THE METHOD OF ISOMERIZING A PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF BUTANES, PENTANES AND HEXANES WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID HYDROCARBON AT ISOMERIZATION CONDITIONS INCLUDING A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 250 TO 400*F., A LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY WITHIN THE RANGE OF 0.5 TO 2.0, AND A HYDROGEN TO HYDROCARBON MOL RATIO WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 0.10:1 TO 5.0:1 WITH A CATALYST COMPRISING ALUMINA, PLATINUM AND CHLORINE, WHEREIN AT LEAST A PART OF SAID CHLORINE IS INTRODUCED INTO SAID CATALYST BY CONTACTING A COMPOSITE OF PLATINUM AND ALUMINA WITH AN ORGANIC CHLORIDE ACTIVATING AGENT HAVING AN ATOMIC RATIO OF CHLORINE TO CARBON OF AT LEAST TWO TO ONE AT A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 300 TO 600*F. FORMING A CHLORIDED COMPOSITE AND THEREAFTER ENHANCING THE ACTIVITY AND STABILITY OF SAID CATALYST BY HEATING SAID CHLORIDED COMPOSITE TO A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF 400 TO 1,000* F. IN CONTACT WITH HYDROGEN CHLORIDE PRIOR TO INITIAL USE FOR SAID ISOMERIZATION.
