VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON METHYLCYCLOPENTANHALTIGEM KOHLENWASSERSTOFF

摘要

This invention is a method for lowering the benzene content in a gasoline base material in which hydrogenation and isomerization can take place without separating benzene from the gasoline base material and formation of decomposition products with a carbon number less than or equal to 4 can be suppressed. In this method, when benzene or a benzene-containing hydrocarbon is hydrogenated and isomerized in the presence of a solid super acid catalyst, benzene in the gasoline base material is efficiently converted to methylcyclopentane. The amounts of decomposition products with a carbon number less than or equal to 4 generated by the method is very small. Furthermore, benzene content can be reduced to less than 0.01%.
