Catalyst based on a mordenite zeolite modified with cerium, and its use in the isomerisation of an aromatic C8 cut

摘要

The invention concerns a process for the isomerization of an aromatic C8 cut using a catalyst containing mordenite, cerium and at least one metal from group VIII. It also concerns a catalyst containing 2-98% by weight of mordenite, 7-40% by weight of cerium, and 0.01-3% by weight of at least one metal from group VIII, the cerium being deposited on the mordenite, and the percentages being with respect to the weight of catalyst.
