Abstract
Abstract C5 naphthas, especially C7 naphthas, may be selectively hydrocracked to yield a high isobutane-normal butane ratio by contacting the naphtha with a zeolite beta within the temperature range of from about 400* to about 550*F.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A PROCESS FOR HYDROCRACKING A C5+ NAPHTHA WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID NAPHTHA WITH A ZEOLITE BETA AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 400*F TO ABOUT 550*F, AT A SPACE VELOCITY OF FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 20 AND AT A HYDROGEN TO HYDROCARBON RATIO OF FROM ABOUT 1 TO 1 TO ABOUT 1 TO 15, SUCH THAT THE FINAL PRODUCT HAS A I-C1 TO N-C4 RATIO OF AT LEAST 7.
