Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing hydroisomerization zeolite catalysts containing a highly dispersed noble metal is described. The method includes mix mulling the zeolite, noble metal and binder into an extrudate and chemically treating the formed particles in order to achieve a high dispersion of noble metal on the catalyst.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for preparing a highly dispersed noble metal-containing hydroisomerization catalyst comprising a zeolite having a Constraint Index less than 2 and a binder, said method comprising: (a) incorporating at least one noble metal in anionic or cationic form with said zeolite and binder by physical intimate mixing; (b) calcining the product of step (a) in air containing from 0.5 to 1.0 atm H 2 O at a temperature ranging from about 450° to 540° C.; and (c) contacting the product of step (b) with a stream of inert gas containing about 0.001 to 10 wt % chlorine at temperatures ranging from about 250° to 550° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
