OLEFIN ISOMERIZATION PROCESS

摘要

An olefin isomerization process employs a basic metal oxide catalyst, such a s magnesium oxide. The catalyst is preferably a high purity magnesium oxide. T he olefin isomerization process and catalyst described herein are advantageousl y used for the production of a terminal olefin such as 1-butene from an intern al olefin such as 2-butene.
