Abstract
Abstract Superior isomerization performance is obtained with a catalytic composite comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen-form crystalline alumino-silicate incorporated with a refractory inorganic oxide. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composite having a surface area of at least 580 m 2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m 2 /g is presented, along with a novel process for the isomerization of isomerizable hydrocarbons.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A process for isomerizing isomerizable hydroca-bons which comprises contacting said isomerizable hydrocarbons in the presence of hydrogen at isomerization conditions with a catalyst composition comprising a Group VIII metal, hydrogen form mordenite and refractory inorganic oxide, with said catalytic composition having a surface area of at least 580 m 2 /g.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
A process for isomerizing isomerizable hydroca-bons which comprises contacting said isomerizable hydrocarbons in the presence of hydrogen at isomerization conditions with a catalyst composition comprising a Group VIII metal, hydrogen form mordenite and refractory inorganic oxide, with said catalytic composition having a surface area of at least 580 m 2 /g.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
