Abstract
Abstract A process for disproportionation of saturated hydrocarbons which comprises contacting the saturated hydrocarbons in a disproportionation reaction zone and in the presence of no more than 5 weight percent olefins with a catalyst mass comprising a platinum component and a tungsten component, wherein the volumetric ratio of the platinum component to the tungsten component is greater than 2:7 and less than 7:2. Preferably the volumetric ratio of the platinum component to the tungsten component is between 3:7 and 10:7, and the reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between 400* to 800*F.
