Process for Conversion of Acyclic C5 Compounds to Cyclic C5 Compounds and Catalyst Composition for Use Therein

摘要

Disclosed is a process for the conversion of acyclic C5 feedstock to a product comprising cyclic C5 compounds, such as for example, cyclopentadiene, and catalyst compositions for use in such process. The process comprising the steps of contacting said feedstock and, optionally, hydrogen under acyclic C5 conversion conditions in the presence of a catalyst composition to form said product. The catalyst composition comprises a Group 10 metal, and, optionally, a Group 11 metal, on a catalyst support with a Group 1 alkali metal silicate and/or a Group 2 alkaline earth metal silicate.
