Eine Katalysatorzusammensetzung zur Isomerisierung von n-Paraffinen und ein Verfahren zur Isomerisierung von n-Paraffinen

摘要

Provided is a catalyst composition for the isomerization of n-paraffin which comprises a beta -zeolite having been synthesized according to a dry gel process and contains cerium, the beta -zeolite being characterized in that it has an average particle diameter of 0.01 SIMILAR 0.1 mu m and the proportion of the cerium in the beta -zeolite is within the range of 0.001 SIMILAR 0.2 in terms of the atomic ratio of the silicon atom in the beta -zeolite to the cerium atom, i.e. ÄCeÜ / ÄSiÜ as well as a process for isomerizing n-paraffin which comprises bringing n-paraffin into contact with the catalyst composition as set forth above.
