DUAL ZEOLITE CATALYST COMPRISING A GROUP VIII METAL AND A GROUP IVA METAL AND ITS USE IN ISOMERIZATION OF AROMATIC C8 COMPOUNDS

摘要

A catalyst is described which comprises at least one zeolite of structural type EUO, at least one zeolite selected from zeolite IM-5 and the zeolites of structural types MFI, MOR, BEA and MTW, at least one group VIII metal, at least one group IVA metal, and at least one porous inorganic matrix. The catalyst according to the invention is used in a process for isomerizing a feedstock comprising aromatic compounds having 8 carbon atoms per molecule.
